Planning A Scuba Diving Trip
In a day and age where vacations are frequently built around sporting hobbies of every kind, it stands to reason that there would be the opportunity to design a scuba diving trip. For scuba enthusiasts, the chance to dive in exotic locations can not be missed. It’s no wonder that the scuba diving trip is one of the most popular themed vacations of recent years.
Building the perfect scuba diving trip begins with your level of experience. If you are a beginner it is essential that you first receive comprehensive scuba instruction so that you can become certified for diving. While you can complete this training before you leave home, you also have the opportunity to participate in instruction during your vacation. However, keep in mind that instruction and certification can be a lengthy process, and if you are looking to dive right away during your scuba diving trip, you will be required to wait.
If you’ve already received your certification – or are an experienced scuba diver – planning a scuba diving trip is only limited by your imagination. Plan your trip around a particular location that you’ve always wanted to explore and reserve accordingly. There are places worldwide that are conducive to scuba diving year round and easily accommodate a longer scuba diving trip. Most of these locations offer such amenities as scuba professionals who will guide you through particular dives, equipment rental when needed, and a variety of accommodations and leisure activities.
The style of your scuba diving trip really comes down to your personal preferences including length of time you are visiting, amount of instruction – if any – you need, traveling companions that may need special scuba accommodations, other amenities you require, and price. The Internet can quickly and efficiently give you comparisons and reviews so that you can best determine the trip that’s right for you.
Planning a scuba diving trip can be the realization of a scuba enthusiast’s dream. What you make of it is completely up to you and the reward will be memories you will have for a lifetime.

How long after reconstructive ACL surgery can I go scuba diving?
I am a healthy 17 year old female athlete. I recently tore my left ACL and will be recieving surgery. I have a scuba trip planned this summer in Hawaii. How long until I can go scuba diving after my surgery? I have already torn my ACL, PCL, and miniscus on my right knee and rocked physical therapy (planning to rock it again) but didn’t scuba at the time so I dont remember how long until I would be able to.
Take it easy… and ask your doctor. they will be able to tell you 😀

It will most likely be months before you can scuba dive. Remember, you are carrying a lot of weight in tanks and lead. Your knee will need to support that weight. Have you talked to your doctor about how long your rehab is going to be? I had a friend who torn his ACL and was not allowed to dive for 8 months. You can also look on the Diver’s Alert Network (DAN). They specialize in diving medicine. Good luck.
Dive Safe,
