Scuba diving gives us many pleasures both in cold fresh water, and warm salt waters. No matter how you dive every submersion means memories to live over for the rest of your life.
But the best of those memories print themselves in your mind when you’re hovering above one place searching a crevice, or on the reef – watching the antics of the sea life, or absorbing all the brilliant colors your dive light illuminates for you.
Back when I first started diving I remember wanting to see everything beneath the surface. I flitted here, I raced there, trying to take it all in before time to return to the boat, or to shore.
I wasted a lot of tank fills that way.
I don’t remember which dive it was. I’m sure I didn’t record the instance in my logbook. But I do have a memory of that moment when a fish suddenly caught my eye.
And I stopped to watch it playing around.
Everything else just disappeared from my awareness as I floated dead in the water enjoying the show.

What is the best type of scuba diving equipment?
Do you mean by manufacturer? Or do you refer to differences in specific equipment? (For instance, divers have a choice between high profile masks and low profile masks. And choices of fins concerning length, width, and stiffness — even open heel or closed heel.)
I personally believe equipment choices depend on the individual diver, and relate to the conditions the diver experiences at the most visited diving sites.
I’m thirteen now, and I want to be a marine biologist and teach scuba diving in my spare time. I’m certified now with NAUI diving. What can I do to work towards being a scuba instructor?.
Every scuba certifying agency provides a course of study that leads a diver toward instructor level. Just check with the agency you prefer, and enroll in that agency's instructor certification classes.
