Hydration
Diving is dehydrating – especially in tropical heat. Dehydration contributes to decompression sickness, fatigue and cardiovascular stress. To make up for water lost while diving, drink a gallon of water each day.
An Aquamira® Water Bottle & Filter is essential in locales where the water tastes bad or clean drinking water is not readily available. To use, simply fill the bottle with water, insert the filter and squeeze to drink.
