Cliff jumping

This water sport also requires no training and one can go ahead cliff jumping with just a few tips from experienced individuals. It also requires no equipment but those who can’t swim can jump while wearing an inflatable vest. Why is cliff jumping so exciting you ask? Well, imagine yourself standing on a cliff that is at least 50 feet high. Now imagine jumping from that very cliff and falling into the arms of a cold blue sea. It might sound scary to many but those who have done it, know how invigorating the experience is. And the best part is that it’s safe and anyone who has an energetic spirit can do it.

Kneeboarding

This is an aquatic sport where the participant is towed on a board that’s tied with a rope to a motorboat. Kneeboarding on a surf style board with fin(s) is also done on waves at the beach. This requires little training and all the rider has to do is kneel on their heels on the board, and secure themselves to the deck with a strap over their thighs.

The fun part is that the rider hangs on to a tow-rope while the motor boat speeds away. This sport is not scary at all to perform and is fun at the same time as you get to float on water with great speed while the wind rushes through you. It is truly an exhilarating experience.

Scuba diving

Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) to breathe underwater. Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, allowing them greater freedom of movement. A scuba diver usually moves around underwater by using fins attached to the feet, but external propulsion can be provided by a diver propulsion vehicle, or a sled pulled from the surface.

Amongst all other sports, scuba diving is by far the best as it allows you to go underwater completely where you can see and feel marine life up close. It requires some training though and you need to know to swim if you are interested in scuba diving.

Snorkelling

Snorkelling is not a difficult sport at all and can be enjoyed by anyone. It is the practice of swimming on the upper layer of water while equipped with a diving mask, a shaped tube called a snorkel, and usually fins. Use of this equipment allows the snorkeler to observe underwater attractions for extended periods with relatively little effort. The appeal of snorkelling is the opportunity to observe underwater life in a natural setting without the complicated equipment and training required for scuba diving. Snorkelling requires only breathing through the snorkel. All one has to do is take their heads and feet under water and you will be able to see all sorts of marine life including fishes of various colours as well as under water rocks and formations. For those who can’t swim, an inflatable vest can be worn so they can float away in the water. Trust us, this is one sport that all adventurous individuals and nature lovers should go for. You will definitely be mesmerized with the glimpses of underwater life.
