5 New Year’s Resolutions for Divers in 2020

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2020!

The whole team at The Smiling Seahorse wishes you a fantastic new year! To get 2020 off to a great start, we have prepared a list of special New Year’s resolutions for divers.

1. Take Better Care of Your Diving Equipment

Yes, it is essential to maintain your diving equipment properly if you want it to last longer. So, stop postponing it and take care of your gear after every use. This is especially important for your regulator and BCD, which are more fragile and prone to wear when exposed to seawater, salt, sand and other elements.

2. Exercise More Often

Like any other activity, your physical condition can have an impact on your diving. Staying fit will help you enjoy your dives, so you won’t regret making exercise part of your routine. When you’re not underwater, swap your fins for running shoes and get moving!

3. Improve Your Diving Skills

Challenge yourself by diving in new conditions or with new buddies. And why not take a course to refresh your existing skills or learn something completely new? There are plenty of diving courses and specialties to discover, whether you want to improve your confidence, explore new environments or simply become a better diver.

4. Raise Awareness About Ocean Protection

As you know, the ocean faces many challenges. If you want future generations to experience some of the beauty we marvel at today, do your part to protect it. Share good practices with your fellow divers and friends, and especially with people who don’t dive themselves.

5. Book Your Dream Diving Holiday

Discover or rediscover the beauty of Burma, explore new dive sites, photograph colourful underwater creatures, make new friends from around the world or simply come back with your favourite dive buddies.

The Smiling Seahorse has just what you need: a friendly crew, a comfortable modern dive boat, exceptional service and breathtaking diving in the Mergui Archipelago.

So, what will your diving resolutions be for 2020?
