Nikki_vZ 0 #4 April 13, 2007 I've noticed that a lot of skydivers i've spoken to scuba dive as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyflyer77 0 #5 April 13, 2007 diving is awesome. I have my open water cert. I did my check dives down in Key West. The water is so warm down there. My favorite places in FL are the keys or Boca Raton. You can dive with the dolphins and check out ships that have Grouper larger than some cars. The down side to diving is similar to jumping. The shit you need is expensive. If I stand on my tip toes, I can see the weekend from here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's maybe a bit more of an adventure than warm water diving but not as much so as you'd think. First Class Citizen Twice Over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arai 0 #10 April 13, 2007 yep, got my advanced open water a few years ago. I did my training in drysuits in BC, and it makes all the warm water destinations seem like a breeze. The ocean definitely holds some amazing sights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering whay my instructor (I was 16) was telling me not to jump out of any planes right after a dive - I was like - ummm - OK - I don't see that ever being a problem. . . I was SO WRONG . . . I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SLIDER 0 #13 April 13, 2007 I've been a Scuba Diver for quite some time and hold quite a few ratings including Instructor. I actually have more scuba dives than skydives but I'm working to change that. I'd be happy answer any questions you've got about Scuba.

steveorino 7 #17 April 13, 2007 I do, although I'd rather skydive it is something I enjoy. The added bonus for me is my wife also scuba dives. http://www.steve-phelps.com/scuba.html steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g_fun 0 #18 April 13, 2007 Quote Yes, it's definitely amazing! For me, there's nothing more peaceful. I agree. It’s very relaxing. Underwater, everything’s calm, peaceful, and quiet…unless you’re in the middle of a shark feeding frenzy.It can become an expensive hobby though.How can I be so thirsty when I drank so much last night?

Darius11 12 #25 April 13, 2007 I have done a few dives and will be getting certified this summer. I find it even more exhilarating then skydiving in some ways.
