Canoe diving

Canoe Diving, or the sport of scuba diving from a canoe, is a relatively new territory for paddlers. It involves utilizing a canoe to transport scuba divers and their gear to offshore diving locations which are beyond practical swimming distances.Due to various economic constraints, canoe diving has recently gained popularity. It is appealing to most individuals because it is very cheap. Traditionally, a charter service is used to access offshore dive sites which can be very expensive. While some may enjoy the luxury of a hired charter boat, captain, and crew, others seek the challenge of navigating a canoe loaded with cumbersome scuba equipment on the open ocean.
