There are some people who really can’t give up their physical activity when they are on vacation. Diving in Sardinia is one of the best water sports for adults who want to maintain their physical shape and for children wanting to jump in to the crystalline sea surrounding Forte Village, the award-winning Resort in Santa Margherita di Pula, province of Cagliari, south Sardinia.

Man once dived into the sea in apnoea to gather food, but now we have perfected this act with the necessary equipment to stay under water for longer times and have made this sport very common.

There are three types of diving:

1. Sport diving, a recreational activity done by diving passionates
2. Technical diving which requires an advanced training
3. Professional or commercial diving for Technical Diving Operators of the Port Authority. Another distinction can be made based on the kind of equipment, identifying two ways of doing diving: diving in apnoea and diving with rebreather.

The equipment while doing scuba diving includes:

• mask
• Suit
• Sinker
• Snorkel
• Flippers
• Marker buoy
• Torch
• Knife

When diving with a rebreather the correct equipment is:

• Oxygen tank
• Dispender
• Pressure gauge
• Depth gauge
• Watch or underwater computer
• Vest with variable weight
• Decompression charts

There are many benefits for the body and mind by doing underwater activities: a better physical condition, more flexibility and strength, contact with nature and making friends.
