Are there different types of diving?
Diving is a tremendously broad and rich sport that covers many different activities. In addition to ‘normal’ diving we have drift diving, night dives, wreck dives and shore dives. Related activities include snorkeling, free-diving, Octopush, underwater rugby, swimming, underwater photography, marine identification, fin-swimming and underwater orienteering. Spear-fishing which used to be a popular underwater pursuit is no longer encouraged and is now viewed as being contrary to the spirit of diving.
