Diving helps to lose weight and a lot! If you have gone too far with sweets or want to go on a diet to lose weight, diving can be a good activity to include in your weight loss routine. During the diving courses our instructor will repeat many times that we must be calm, make slow movements and control our breathing. Well, with this attitude, it doesn't seem like we're going to spend too much energy, right?

Why am I going to lose weight diving?

  Divers must maintain a certain degree of physical fitness. Diving is a physical activity which requires a certain state of both physical and mental health. Maintaining these states will make our dives safer and we will enjoy them much more. It is not necessary to have a state of spectacular shape, just normal health that allows us to perform physical activity. During the pre-dive we will have to carry our bottles and equipment, which will require a little effort. The best thing is that once we enter the water, all this equipment will stop weighing and we will begin to feel the sensation of weightlessness that makes diving an exceptional activity.

But if the equipment does not weigh us down in the water, am I going to lose weight diving?

The fact that the equipment does not weigh you down does not mean that your body is not affected by forces that cause you to have to make an effort to be able to move. This effort will be due to the resistance of water, denser than air. But really, as our movements are going to be as slow and efficient as possible, this is not the biggest source of energy consumption of our body during a scuba dive. The main expense will be our body to maintain our body temperature. The water that will surround us when we are diving in most of our dives will be below our body temperature so our body will have to burn many extra calories to maintain this temperature. In this calculator that we have designed, you can calculate how many calories you are going to consume during your diving course. With this calorie calculator for divers you can know the energy that you are going to expend, the kilos that you are going to lose and how many kilometers you would have to walk to burn the calories. same calories. We are going to give an example of our diving initiation course, the OPEN WATER DIVER course. This course takes place over 3-4 days and consists of 4 parts:

• Theoretical part that can be done online before arriving at the diving center or can also be done at the diving center itself in Tossa de Mar.
• Practical part divided into three blocks: confined water, open water and aquatic training exercises.

The OPEN WATER PADI course is the most popular course to learn to dive and once passed you will be able to dive all over the world up to 18 meters deep. Deep enough to see corals, turtles, dolphins, tuna and thousands of marine species. Follow the link if you want more information about our OPEN WATER PADI course.

How much will I lose weight in my diving course?

  Although including diving in the diet to lose weight seems crazy, it is an activity to take into account to lose weight quickly. During the dives we will spend a lot of energy that will translate into fat loss. All of us who have done diving vacations or work in diving centers and in high season do 3-4 dives a day know that no matter how much we eat before and after the departures, we will end up losing weight thanks to diving.
