If girls can't swim, can they dive?

Diving is becoming more and more popular, and many girls are gradually joining in. But many people are still hesitant. Can girls dive? Can a girl dive if she can't swim? Today, the editor of DIVINGMAX lists the questions you want to know:

1. Can girls dive?

At present, the proportion of male participants in diving is far higher than that of female participants, so it may be in the impression that female participants are not suitable for this sport. But since the 1980s, the gap has been steadily narrowing. Today, the proportion of men to women divers has shrunk to about 6:4. Now, no matter from equipment manufacturers or tourism operators, there are diving products specially provided for girls, and there are professional female diving coaches. So gender is no longer an obstacle to diving.

2. If girls can't swim, can they dive?

I believe that this is not only a concern for girls, but also for most diving enthusiasts. The answer is: Yes. Even if you can't swim, you can dive.

Diving is an active sport. If you can swim, you may have an advantage in learning how to dive. But it doesn't mean that you can't dive if you can't swim. Anyone who has reached the average health level can dive. Before you dive, there will be a basic swimming test, that is, before you dive, you need to swim 200 yards continuously. When you know that divers from the age of 8 to 80 can pass the test, you will not be so stressed.

3. Can women dive in menstrual cycle?

Although many people will say that diving will not be affected by the physiological period, as long as the corresponding measures are taken (such as using a sanitary cotton stick, etc.). However, the diving coach should remind the majority of female diving enthusiasts that if they want to go diving, it is best to avoid the physiological period. Because even if it's indoor diving, after entering the water, the body will still feel cool sensitively. If you are in the physiological period, it may cause physiological disorder and damage to the body. Don't say that European and American girls can go into the water during their physiological period. You must admit that there are differences between Asian and European girls. For our body's sake, it is recommended to avoid the physiological period.
