Heya! I'm a Padi Advanced Open Water Diver and I just wanted to hear any diving stories from peeps in a community I hold close.
I'm not qualified, because I don't live in a place where I can get classes and actually go diving, but I know what I'm doing, and I love just the idea of scuba diving. I went diving in a shark tank just this past summer, it was amazing.
My friend is a diver on an oil rig. He's training for his saturation diving qualification. Scary stuff!
Snorkeling is the closest I have got. Your breathing is very important. You have to overcome the bodies natural instinct not to breather underwater. I brought my wife back some lovely star fish and shell whilst she was sunbathing. Almost caught an octopus too, though he was too quick for me!
