Do we have any SCUBA divers here?






sold my scuba gear down in florida :-/ not like I would want to scuba dive here in michigan it's -.4 degrees here....
 
Just got back from a wreck dive at 100' in keywest. (working on my advanced)

Wife bought me a BC for Christmas!!!! woot!
 
Brother's a marine science major down in SC (Coastal Carolina U.) and does a lot of diving. He's been slowing building up his equipment; think he asked my dad for a dive bag for Christmas ;D.

He's also headed down to Australia in Feb for 5-6 months to do some study abroad stuff (and of course, dive the reefs and such :D).
 
Wow that sounds like a ton of fun. The great barrier reef has the worlds most diverse sea life. I'm sure he'll love it.
 
I'm a certified SCUBA DIVER though I haven't kept my permit current, & now since my back went, so did the diving. I used to dive a lot in a stone quarry in Wisconsin, called France (sp?) Park. Hit 120' on my deepest dive. Saw an old locomotive & a up-side down twin engined plane on the bottom. This particular dive took place in the middle of Aug. but we hit the thermocline at 31', & I left my dive hood & gloves at home, so by the time we got to the bottom, my fingernail beds,lips, & cheeks were all blue, & I was shivering uncontrollably, almost to the point where I really didn't feel like stopping for decompression :-? Almost, but not quite ;) That was my coldest & last dive. Even my wreck dives in Lake Michigan on some barges in about 60' of water weren't that cold. BBBBRRRRRRRR I lost 4 # of body weight from shivering on that dive ! DIETS, who needs 'em, just go diving unprepared, you'll lose weight REAL FAST ;D ;D ;D
 
Hahaha nice. Seeing a sunken locomotive would be awesome. I've seen a plane and a Sikorsky helicopter. My deepest so far was 124', I never go deeper than 60' without the dry suit, just can't do it.
 
My dad went scuba diving on his honeymoon...He lost his wedding ring and got stung by multiple jellyfish.

I haven't gone yet.

We did a Cayman Salvager wreck, actually got to penetrate the wreck, and found a pocket of air down there.. Crazy stuff for me -- my first deep dive!

Then we did a shallow reef dive, it was like swimming in a fish tank. Saw two sea turtles, a 6-7' nurse shark, and hundreds of barracuda.

Great diving down there

She got me an Aeris ATMOS LX

That's a pretty good BC. To what level are you certified? Which organization?
