Yesterday I went to a lesson of scuba diving, I went to a 5 meters deep pool, and it was pretty cool, its a great experience. so, like the title says: Anyone have been scuba diving?
Shortly after being certified I got to do a ship wreck dive and a shark dive (swimming around not in a cage). Two amazing experiences! I haven't been in a long time, but my parents are about to move to Indonesia, so I'm hoping I can dive again over there on a visit...
I scuba, last time I dived was at the Red Sea. We were at some resort in Yambu, Saudi ARabia. I love it, so awesome to be under water so long.
I have been twice, both at the Great Barrier Reef. Absolutley awesome, I love it. There is an old mine in the midwest somewhere that is now filled with water. That looks like a cool place.
Been diving in N. Zealand, G. Barrier Reef, SE Asia, and a couple of other spots (California). Best place I've been diving has to be Malaysia... awesome visibility and gorgeous underwater life. Best place in the American hemisphere is Belize.. it's cheap enough to fly Continental from Houston, and you get amazing canyon dives (turtles, stingrays, nurse sharks) and if you out a little bit, the Blue Hole (collapsed underwater cave) where you get to see some pretty big sharks. Love it.
Went diving in St. Croix (Virgin Islands) this past summer after getting certified last year. Pretty sweet.. the more you do it, the more comfortable you get. Suddenly, you'll just "get it" with the weighting and balance and everything. You'll know when you do.. Also, diving at night is awesome
I didn't know I had an ear infection until the second dive of the day... When it started hurting real bad when I tried to dive down and pressurize is when I found out.
