驚くべきカップル成立率!国内スキューバダイビングは最強の婚活旅!?

実は日本でも、気軽にキラッキラの海、潜れるんですよ。しかも聞けば・・・国内ダイビングは最強の婚活だって言うではありませんか!

ダイビングは海外で?

美しいサンゴ礁の海を珍しいカラフルな魚が泳ぎ、透明な水の中を潜る・・・スキューバダイビングはリゾートアクティビティの代表格。だけど、海外では怖い事故もあったりするし、ちょっと怖い。これが本音。でも実は日本でも、気軽にキラッキラの海、潜れるんですよ。しかも聞けば・・・国内ダイビングは最強の婚活だって言うではありませんか!

スクール感覚で海に潜る

スキューバダイビングにはライセンスが必要なのは知っていても、ライセンスをお稽古のスクール感覚で通って取ることができるって、知ってました? それも人工的なプールではなく、天然の海で!

波打ち際からジャブジャブ歩いて潜るようなスポットもあるそうで、船酔いを心配する方でも大丈夫かも! 週末ごとに海に潜るって、最高にリフレッシュできそうです。立地や潜る海にこだわってスクールを探してみるのがいいかもしれません。

国内ダイビングは本当に最強の婚活なのか、聞き込み!

ダイビングがご縁で結婚やお付き合いをする方が多いらしい! というので、四国最大のダイビングスクール「海底少年」の店長さんに問い合わせてみました。

「実際、ダイビングで知り合って、交際・結婚するカップルは多いです。基本がグループでのダイビングになるので話しやすい、また珍しい魚を見つけたり、感動を共有できたりすることが理由なのでは・・・」と話してくれました。

ちなみに男女比はほぼ五分五分ですって。なるほど、婚活イベントに参加するのが恥ずかしいという方でも、リフレッシュしつつ、海に潜り、しかも婚活ができてしまう。それが、国内スクール感覚ダイビングなのですね! もちろん国内でライセンスを取り、海外や離島のツアーに参加することもできるそう。婚活不要な方でも仕事以外の仲間作りによさそうですよね。

日常の中にリゾートを取り込んで、リフレッシュしながら趣味と共生するのは・・・すごくいいかもしれません。

Most Amazing Scuba Dives on the Planet
(01 of05)

In most cases, the term “shark diving” means cowering in a fenced-in, submerged box surrounded by bloody bits of chum, with flashes of fin and gnashing teeth only occasionally visible through the murky red water. That somewhat violent experience is a world away from what’s offered at SharkSchool, an immersive course led by one of the leading shark researchers in the world. Erich Ritter, Ph.D., hosts small groups of divers for multi-day field studies in Grand Cay, Bahamas, home to black-tip, Caribbean reef, lemon, nurse, and bull sharks. The goal of SharkSchool is to introduce people to as many types of sharks as possible, with multiple snorkel and scuba outings each day. You’ll walk away with plenty of bragging rights of photo ops—but also a better understanding and appreciation for the animals.Photo Credit: sharkschool.comClick Here to see more of the Most Amazing Scuba Dives on the Planet
Go Way Beneath the Surface—Belize(02 of05)

The appropriately named Great Blue Hole in Belize was made famous by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in the early 1970’s, when he first visited the oddity and deemed it one of the ten best scuba sites in the world. (And he would know, right?) The GBH, found 43 miles off the coast of Belize City, measures an astounding 985 feet wide and 410 feet deep, and its symmetrical shape is as neatly circular as a suburban swimming pool. In fact, it’s not a hole at all, but a submerged network of caves that was flooded when the world’s sea levels started rising some 150,000 years ago. Today divers come to go underwater spelunking, plumbing the limestone formations’ depths alongside giant groupers, nurse sharks, reef sharks and more.

Catch an X-Ray View of Giant Rays—Hawaii(03 of05)

Just a few miles off the coast of Kailua Kona, on Hawaii’s Big Island, an industrious group of divers strung up a series of lights on the ocean floor. Their soft glow attracts light-seeking plankton at night, which then draws large manta rays in to feed. Now, nighttime divers armed with high-powered headlamps can be treated to an eerie, surreal spectacle, when only the ghostly-white wings of the rays—many of which top out at 3,000 pounds, with 20-foot wingspans—are visible in the pitch-black Pacific. Kona Huna Divers leads night trips especially geared toward seeing the rays.Photo Credit: Bo Pardau/Second Wave Ocean Images, Kailua Kona, Hawaii
Solve an 8,000-Year-Old Mystery—Japan(04 of05)

Deep in the Pacific waters surrounding the Yaeyama Island chain, off of Japan’s westernmost shores, lies a diving site fit for Indiana Jones and his ilk: an underwater pyramid structure said to be some 8,000 years old. Named after the closest-lying island, the Yonaguni Monument is made up of a 60-foot-high, 160-foot-long series of stone steps and terraces and a range of megaliths adorned with intricate carvings and, on one, a massive stone resembling a carved turtle statue. Rumors abound as to the monument’s origins: Is it the relic of a long-list civilization, a kind of sister city to Atlantis? The work of amphibious aliens? A freak geological phenomenon? For now, no one knows for sure. What’s certain is that Yonaguni is a one-of-a-kind spectacle, one that’s the exclusive domain of experienced divers (the ruins are located in open waters with strong currents). Reef Encounters leads outfitted trips from Okinawa to the wonder, for both English- and Japanese-speaking divers.Photo Credit: Facebook/Reef Encounters International
Take the True Polar Plunge—Antarctica(05 of05)

Enter caption for this slideYou might think the most extreme waters in the world would be devoid of all life, nothing but a freezing expanse of ice-pocked ocean, with the occasional penguin bobbing through. But in fact, once divers drill an entrance hole through the ten-foot-thick ice, they’re treated to bright yellow cactus and green globe sponges, starfish, sea urchin, jellyfish, sea anemone, colorful soft coral, and yes, even Emperor penguins. Divers can access this life-list experience at McMurdo Sound, a 35-mile-long bay alongside Ross Island, some 850 miles north of the South Pole. It’s close to the principal U.S. research station on the continent, and in fact, those lucky enough to dive here are often scientists. Divers also must be experienced using drysuits and willing to take on the 28°F waters.Photo Credit: © Flickr / Creativity+ Brook Peterson Photo Credit: © Flickr / Creativity+ Mykle Hoban
