Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
A few years back, my dad, sister and I took up SCUBA diving. We went quite a bit that first year, but now we only go every once in a while to keep up with it all. My dad and I went out once this summer on a really fun boat with some friends from Church.
The boat was HUGE and we had it mostly to ourselves which was sweet. I only did two dives, everyone else did three (it's just such a pain and I was getting all kinds of water in my dry-suit and so I was very cold and tired). They were some really great dives. There were a lot of really pretty purple coral and it was just all around pretty.
The cook on the boat was an actual chef and so we ate really well. Sometimes you go on a dive boat and you get a giant stake for lunch.
This is great! Ever since I was a young kid I wanted to go SCUBA diving but never got around to it. Do you have all you own equipment? Was the water cold? Or do you just prefer the dry-suit?
ReplyDeleteIt is freezing cold! I would prefer the dry suit anyway - I hate dealing with wetsuits. We own all our own equipment which is really nice. I know exactly how to work it all and where it's been.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! It DOES seem like it would pay off to have your own personal gear. The closest I ever got to the outing is having my own neoprene boots and gloves.
