Have you ever wondered what the difference is between diving in saltwater and freshwater? For starters, saltwater is more dense than freshwater, so you’ll be more buoyant. Thus, you will require less weight when diving in freshwater if all other things remain the same.

Additionally, the salt in saltwater can irritate your skin and eyes, so it’s important to use a good quality dive mask and wetsuit. Another difference is that saltwater can conduct electricity, so it’s important to avoid touching anything metal when diving in saltwater. Finally, saltwater can also damage your dive gear if it’s not properly rinsed after each dive, so it’s important to take care of your gear.
