How to learn to SCUBA dive
It made me
ecstatic!
 "I signed up for a class at the University. Learned over the course of a week, we went to a pool near my house then did four successive dives in Kewalo Basin."
How I did it: The best part of it all was the two dives I did out in Lana'i about a year later... absolutely gorgeous reefs, fun fishes to see, sharks! and of course, going into a stony "cathedral" with filtered skylights up above. Lessons & tips: Find a friend who wants to SCUBA with you! Buddy system for safety and friendship. :) |

How I did it: Forget about what Jacques Cousteau said about SCUBA diving letting you see a "Silent World" (read that book, it's SO good)-- your breathing sounds block out a lot of the silence. Other than that, diving is always an amazing experience, and so far I've only dived in a dirty, empty crater. Anyway, my sister said she wanted to do it and so I took classes with her at the local University (getting in for the summer was probably the… Read how I did it…

I have always been interested in learning how to scuba dive. I was going to go on a trip and I randomly walked into a scuba store and signed up for the certification class. It has been the most awesome thing I’ve ever done for myself.

which might be slightly better as I’ll be able to see what’s going on under the surface. But then we stumble upon the small issue of being far far underwater and the possiblity of all my worst nightmares coming true. As long as the guy on the boat doesn’t do a role call and mistakes someone else for me then sails off into the sunset to let me get nibbled on by sharks, then we’re all good.

My friend, who is a marine scientist and therefore does a lot of diving, tells me that there is NO WAY someone with asthma should SCUBA dive. He’s not going to let me go diving while I’m visiting him in Eilat, so I guess I should find another thing to learn…hm…SURFING, anyone?
