SCUBA DIVING ..

during our honeymoon in hawaii .. my wife finally convinced me to try scuba, at first we tried snuba ( 20ft, with a air hose attached to a tank on the surface ) .. i fell in love with it right away and once we got on land again, we went to a local dive shop and signed up for discovery scuba lessons ... once i did that i was totally screwed ! .. here comes another expensive hobby lol ..

sorry, i am so excited that i love telling everyone, but no one seems to care cuz no one dives =(

I would love to dive, but like so many things, it's way down on the list. I would have to get over my fear of being harpooned.

LOL ... but have no fear ! .. if one person is armed, the whole boat will be armed .. LOL

HOW COOL!

Last year I got stung by a jelly fish, I'm afraid my days in the ocean are over...that sucker HURT!!

wow that sucks Leesa .. i would hate not to be in the water .. i just love the ocean or any body of water for that matter ... lol .. but of course i would never venture into NYC beaches .. thats just asking for issues ..

who's kristen ? i love to just talk and pick divers brain lol

I love the ocean too, I respect it more now...maybe I'll get over it, but I thought I was going to die! It hurt and left a scar on my leg. So...we will see.

Kristin posts in here kja something or another LOL, that is horrible I don't know her POTN Name. but she'll be on in a bit I am sure, she lives in Australia and her work is amazing...

oh nice ! .. there were so many aussies in hawaii and buying up most of the scuba gear .. after speaking to a few, found out that EVERYTHING in Australia costs more than us

I grew up in Southern California, and spent a lot of time at the beach. Jellyfish were an every day fact of life, and I've been stung by them many times. It is unpleasant, but not fatal. If you' truly love the ocean, you just have to be more attentive. Watch where you're walking.

Our idea of humor, by the way was to push the jellyfish up onto the beach, then bury them under an inch or two of sand. Some unsuspecting schlub would come along and step on it.

Ho, ho, ho.


We really were rotten kids.:o:o:o

ROFL ^^^

Even camera equipment. I put my 500 f/4L up for sale on the forum, and I priced at the B&H price less 10%. It was absolutely perfect, but technically used. The fellow who bought it was from Australia. He was thrilled to get it, and ended up paying almost $500 to ship it by air. He still saved a couple thousand dollars compared to buying it new in Australia.
