Phil Routhier has found a great passion for scuba diving and shark diving, exploring the vast oceans and mysterious marine creatures that make up our world.
As the ocean makes up most of the Earth, there is so much to see and explore in its deep waters, many things which likely still haven’t even been discovered. Some scientists have even compared studying the ocean to space exploration with its potential to provide valuable resources as well as the likeliness of finding new, undiscovered species of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.
All of these concepts and more are of great interest to Phil Routhier who has taken on scuba diving as his main hobby. While he may not be exploring the great depths of the ocean where scientists have yet to venture, he still loves the experience of visiting the homes and habitats of so many fascinating creatures that live underwater.
For Phil Routhier scuba diving is such a unique and wonderful experience as it allows one to breathe comfortably while underwater, moving around freely for extensive periods of time, a feat humans would not be able to accomplish without this well developed technology.
Nearly anyone can become a certified scuba diver, as long as they meet the age requirements and have no existing medical conditions that may impact their safety while diving. Individuals can complete the proper training and become certified in a matter of days. If you have a passion for thrill and adventure, Phil Routhier recommends giving scuba diving a try. It is something that has kept him in good physical shape and has allowed him to explore many different areas of the globe allowing him to learn more about the world and about himself.
Shark Diving
In addition to his many scuba diving adventures Phil Routhier has also dabbled in shark diving. Many people tend to have a false sense of fear for sharks when most of the time they are completely harmless. As long as the right safety precautions are considered and divers know how to react to potential dangers, shark diving is a life changing experience being able to get so close to these majestic and massive creatures that have been around for hundreds of millions of years.
With his hobbies of scuba diving and shark diving Phil Routhier has had the opportunity to travel to many exotic places all around the world. Some of his favorite places he has visited so far include Greece, Spain, Hawaii, and the Caribbean.
