Sailing specifically refers to the sport of using wind to power sails and propel the

boat forward (rather than engines). Unlike windsurfing andsurfing, the sport takes
place in an enclosed boat rather than on a board.

Today it is mostly a recreational activity. There are two types of sailing – racing and
cruising. Racing is the branch of yachting you will recognise from the Olympics, however
cruising is probably what most people would enjoy on their holidays or on the weekends.

You can learn to sail on a yacht (usually around 9m long and can fit multiple people
onboard) or a dinghy (around 2m to 4m long and fit one or two people inside).

Kitesurfing is a wind powered surface watersport using a kite and a board to move
across the water.
Kitesurfing harnesses the power of the wind through a large parachute type kite to propel
a rider across the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard (similar to a wakeboard).
Although the name includes surfing, kitesurfing does not need waves, the wind is the
only force needed to power you along. Flat water locations such as Camber are favoured
by riders looking to perform freestyle as the water is smooth so easier to take off and land
on. With the large range of conditions to ride in, whether ‘surfing’ in the waves, going
for big jumps, taking out a GPS for a speed records, learning a new freestyle trick or on a
long distance adventure kitesurfing never becomes boring or repetitive.
Kites with inflatable tubes are used to produce the pull from the wind. The inflatable
parts of the kites help hold the shape and also allow the kite to float and therefore be re-
launched from the water.
Various sizes of kites are used depending on the wind strength and size of the rider,
anything from 2 to 14m2.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Increases coordination and concentration
Balance.
Stress relief
Immune system boost
Better reflexes and adaptability
Respect for nature
Community and networking
New experiences and sensations

Scuba Diving
Diving underwater is something that has attracted mankind since they figured out that
there was a living world under the seas. SCUBA is an abbreviation for Self Contained
Underwater Breathing Apparatus, in other words, equipment to allow us to breathe
underwater.

The air that is in the tanks is compressed air as we know it outside, so parts nitrogen,
parts oxygen and some other gases as well. Many people mistakenly believe that the air is
pure oxygen, but that would actually poison the divers! Because of the nitrogen in the
compressed air, divers need to be very careful when diving to greater depths, as nitrogen
narcosis can occur, which has the same effect as excessive alcohol. This is easily solved by
going back up to shallower waters.

A more serious effect of nitrogen is known as Caisson’s Disease also known

as decompression sickness, which is when nitrogen starts to form bubbles in the diver’s
body. This becomes an issue when the diver returns to the surface and normal air
pressure and can lead to death. This is why one of the most important things to
remember for divers is to never go too deep too quick and never to go back to the surface
too quickly.

Maintains and Increase Fitness Levels
Traveling To Warmer Climates
Healing Effects of the Water
Interaction with Marine Life
Exposure To Sunlight
Socializing Benefits
A Great Stress Reliever
Snorkeling involves observing the underwater depths with the aid of a diving
mask, a snorkel and, usually, swimfins. It generally takes place in shallow water, where
you can watch undersea life from the surface of the water.

Snorkeling allows people to observe underwater life over a long period while
generally making only a limited physical effort.The ideal places to practice
snorkeling are in warm, calm seas with clear water. Coral reefs, due to the richness
of the seabed and underwater life, are favorite spots for snorkeling.

Parasailing, also known as parascending or parakiting, is a

recreational kiting activity where a person is towed behind a vehicle (usually a boat)
while attached to a specially designed canopy wing that reminds one of a parachute,
known as a parasail wing. The manned kite's moving anchor may be a car, truck, or boat.
The harness attaches the pilot to the parasail, which is connected to the boat, or land
vehicle, by the tow rope. The vehicle then drives off, carrying the parascender (or wing)
and person into the air. If the boat is powerful enough, two or three people can parasail
 behind it at the same time. The parascender has little or no control over the parachute.
The activity is primarily a fun ride, not to be confused with the sport of paragliding.

BENEFITS OF PARASAILING

Good for Health

A Sea kayak or touring kayak is a kayak developed for the sport

of paddling on open waters of lakes, bays, and the ocean. Sea kayaks are seaworthy small
boats with a covered deck and the ability to incorporate a spray deck. They trade off the
maneuverability of whitewater kayaks for higher cruising speed, cargo capacity, ease of
straight-line paddling, and comfort for long journeys.

BENEFITS OF SEA KAYAK

 Improved cardiovascular fitness

 Increased muscle strength, particularly in the back, arms, shoulders and chest,
from moving the paddle
 Increased torso and leg strength, as the strength to power a canoe or kayak comes
mainly from rotating the torso and applying pressure with your legs
 Reduced risk of wear-and-tear on joints and tissues, since paddling is a low impact
activity.
