Veľké Košariská – popis lokality

Jazero Veľké Košariská leží pri Bratislave, približne 3 km od mestskej časti Podunajské Biskupice, v blízkosti obcí Rovinka a Dunajská Lužná.

The common yoke tank valve o-ring may be the unsung hero of the diving equipment realm. This humble piece of equipment is often overlooked or ignored, but it can make or break your dive. An o-ring may be the difference between exploring a beautiful reef with your buddy and remaining in the confines of the dive boat.

Why Scuba Diving with a Buddy Is Necessary for Beginners

This system allows the divers to learn from each other, practice the concept of two being better than one, give assistance, and to share the experience. The most imperative reason for the buddy system is that a diver should never dive outside of their training.
