It then makes it possible to apprehend the characteristics related to the material (breathing on a Détendeur, use of the Gilet of stabilization, but also of the palms, mask and tuba), the Flottabilité, the underwater propulsion, the whole, without having to confront itself with the particulartity of the medium, sometimes distressing for the neophytes.

The swimming pool also makes it possible the plungers to be involved, throughout the year, to maintain their know-how, for the divings in natural environment.

Because of its depth and accessibility low, the swimming pool remains also a place privileged and protected for the material testings for example.

And for these same reasons (facilitated, safety), like for the transparency of water and the Light, the swimming pool is a medium very appreciated of the underwater photographers which can allow artistic compositions impossible to realize in natural environment.

In certain countries, it is also possible to plunge in pits of diving. In fact pits of variable depth but being able to reach 20 m as in Civaux and then make it possible to make technical exercises by simulating true divings. These pits are an undeniable advantage within the framework of the training of the techniques of diving (use of Gilet of stabilization, exercises of rescue, etc)
