I love to scuba dive. I even run with the local dive search/recovery unit. We use scuba as well as ssds ( surface supplied diving system ) with a commercial/ US navy dive helmet.

Not like this then ??
Wetsuit (http://www.thezreview.co.uk/comingsoon/t/tombraider2.htm)
Spent most of my life around scuba diving (Dad owned a shop many years ago and was a class 2 BSAC instructor.) Just never wanted to do it myself.
did my sada diving course in the forces and went diving in sardinia,kenya,belize,outer hebradies(had to wear a wolly bear and dry suit for that one freeeezin) and the maldives but only surfing since i left the forces.

Yup - have been for a number of years. Always in warm water (some would call me fairweather, Id call myself bloody sensible) and have loved every minute of it.

I'm a holiday diver, but never done the open water exams n' stuff. Always a bit short of a few hundred quid after I've just paid for the holiday, so usually end up doing a single dive or two. Do loads of snorkelling on holiday though ('cos I take my own gear so it's free) and love going to places with coral reefs. The red sea is just fantastic, in fact thats one of the places where I think you see as much snorkelling as diving.

I did it once in Dominican Republic
Half hour in the pool followed by 20 mins in the sea at a Coral Reef
It was excellent but I havent done it since never got round to it :confused:

If there's no "Kilted's alive" thread by the time I get to work tomorrow I'm starting one!
Welcome back mate, we are lead to believe by someone nameless* that you are as thin as a Japanese racing snake...
*Colin. I wont mention his second name, that would be indiscreet.

Thought about it, called a club in edinburgh who were quite snooty their certification rather than padi, so left it, never really chased it up much after that.
I'm a martini man, anything, anytime , anyplace, although unfortunately just now that means, sleeping, all the time, anywhere.
