Parineeti Chopra is now a CERTIFIED scuba diver!

Before she starts shooting for Golmaal Again from March 9, Parineeti Chopra has become a certified scuba diver. The actress is now eligible to dive up to 40 meters or 120 feet in an open sea, reports a tabloid.

Parineeti is quoted saying, "Diving is an exhilarating experience. The feeling of weightlessness and seeing fish, sharks and colourful plants is surreal. I now want to explore the sea at night. I'm told that dive is with lights and sea glows in florescent colours."

She is now planning to take an advance course in diving, that will help her scuba-dive at night. Not only that, she wants to practise diving in heavy currents. She is quoted saying, "Every year, either for work or vacation, I travel to five-six places. I love meeting strangers on a boat, exploring the sea and sharing experiences with them. Diving is not as gruelling a sport as it is a leisure activity."
