NWFlyer 2 #26 October 20, 2005 QuoteQuote Best definition I've heard: "If you can drink beer while doing it, it's not a sport." I guess by that definition, skydiving is NOT a sport, and scuba diving is Never done a full-altitude hop & pop at sunset, eh? Read again, Dave. He said skydiving is *not* a sport (ergo, you *can* drink beer while doing it). Scuba, on the other hand... yeah, that'd be a little tough. I've done a snorkel/regulator exchange, but I think bottle/regulator exchange would probably be pretty difficult. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HydroGuy 0 #27 October 21, 2005 You could drink a beer while diving. But you'd get drunk fast and belch like crazy on your ascent. Cave and wreck divers can be submerged for up to 12 hours at a time...they have to drink bottled water and eat candy bars during that time.Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
