Scorpionfisch

padi divecenter-private scuba guide-musan underwater parkScorpionfish can be found around the island of Cyprus, although they are not often spotted by divers as they are masters of camouflage. They are usually between 5 and 20 cm long, although some species can grow to 50 cm and weigh up to 2 kg. They are bottom dwellers, mainly found in rocky areas. Scorpionfish are sluggish fish that cling to the bottom as they have no air bladder and are found at depths of 2 to 200 metres.

They generally live as solitary creatures, camouflaged and waiting for their prey to approach. They feed on molluscs, crustaceans and fish.

The hard rays of the first dorsal fin and the spines of the gill covers are venomous. Symptoms of stinging include localised pain, swelling and redness at the site of contact, fever and difficulty breathing. It is therefore advisable to seek medical attention after contact.

She is a good 70 metres long and lies at a depth of up to 30 metres.

The general spaces and the bridge are between 20 and 14 metres deep.

The top of the masts is at 10 m and the wreck stands beautifully photogenic upright on the seabed.

Pufferfish – A migrant from Red Sea

The pufferfish has migrated from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, where it is causing quite a stir. It can be found off Cyprus, the Turkish coast or in the Levantine Sea (eastern Mediterranean), where it is considered one of the most invasive species. The pufferfish has a strong set of teeth and plates, with which it bites not only crustaceans but also mussel shells. It is also extremely poisonous, both to humans and to larger predatory fish. The pufferfish reproduces quickly and appears to be very adaptable. For example, it feeds on marine animals that have become entangled in fishing nets, which can lead to huge losses in fisheries.
The pufferfish is actually quite a pretty sight. A spiny, silvery animal with many dots on the top of its body, it can live for up to ten years and grow to a length of one metre. If it feels threatened, it will swallow large quantities of water and inflate into a ball that looks much bigger than it is, spoiling the appetite of predators. more »


Solo Diver / Self Reliant Diver or a scuba diving course to help yourself

Diving itself is a potentially dangerous sport, this means. it is dangerous to life!

This is what is written in many textbooks and in your beginner course you learned to always go diving with a buddy! This is because the diver enters an environment that is normally incompatible with human life.

Only technical equipment makes survival possible here. Overestimation of one’s own abilities, recklessness, poor or lack of training and lack of experience can lead to situations that put the diver’s life in acute danger.

But can the buddy system really help here? Or does it only pretend to be safe? more »
