- Canoe_diving abstract "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 equipment to offshore diving locations which are beyond practical swimming distances.Though strikingly similar to kayak diving in which divers use a sit-on-top kayak instead of a canoe, canoe diving allows divers to traverse greater distances at considerably faster speeds. Canoes can hold substantially more weight than a kayak, and they have more room for gear. They also offer paddlers a better view of the area around them.Due to various economic constraints, canoe diving has recently gained popularity along the Gold Coast of Florida where many dive sites are less than three kilometers from shore. It is appealing to many individuals because it is relatively inexpensive and very adventurous. Traditionally, a charter service is used to access offshore dive sites which can be very costly. While some may enjoy the luxury and safety of a hired charter boat, captain, and crew, others seek the challenge and thrill of navigating a canoe loaded with cumbersome scuba equipment on the open ocean.Canoe diving is best suited for calm seas and fair weather. Large waves, rough water, and strong winds make canoe diving unfavorable at best and extremely dangerous at worst.Typically, the canoe is launched from a beach or jetty as close as conveniently possible to the intended scuba diving location. Scuba equipment is assembled ready for diving before it is loaded into the canoe. The divers then carefully enter the canoe, and paddle to the dive site. Navigation to the dive site may be facilitated by use of a hand-held global positioning system (GPS), or more traditional coastal navigation methods. Upon reaching the dive site, the divers put on their masks, fins, and weight belts, fill their buoyancy compensators (BC) with air and unload their scuba equipment into the water. Then each diver enters the water to put on their scuba equipment. Once both divers are ready, they descend and proceed with their dive. The canoe may be tethered to the divers via their surface marker buoy system if they are drift diving, or it may be anchored or fastened to a mooring buoy if one is available at the dive site.After the dive, the divers must enter the canoe without capsizing it. Small items of equipment will usually be placed into the canoe while the diver is still in the water, but the scuba set will either be passed up to a person already in the canoe, or loaded after the diver is back on board.".
