Scuba Divers

[benncool]

Being a new dude on the Board, I was just wondering if there are any other refrigerating air hogs out there?

I'm from Vermont (USA) "The Green Mountain State". Even though we don't have any ocean coast line in Vermont, Jacque Cousteau learned how to swim here. It's the truth. I found this fact while doing a term paper about him.

Just got my certification. Been diving in mexico and Jamaca. A buddy of mine let my dive with his tanks. Never dived legally outside a swimming pool though.

This is a quote by Jacques Cousteau that I think sums up why I like Scuba Diving,

"From birth, man carriers the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is bolted to the earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface ond he is free."

Hi Guys,


Hmmm, scuba diving in this country ok

South Africa, Jamaca, California I don;t think so.

I was listening to the radio a couple of weeks ago when minni driver was being interviewed. Apparently she is a keen surfer as she lives in california and one day while she was out a shark swam underneath here surfboard. It was only that a lifeguard who was on duty at the time and saw the incident made her go back in the water otherwise she said she would never go in again.

Well it's like this, if there are big fish in the waters with big teeth then all the money in world will not get me in there with them.
I Don't care how few shark attacks there are in the world i am going NOWHERE near the sea if i ever to to Aus/America/S Africa.
