This means in one session they teach you the basics of how to put the equipment on and basically take you by the hand in the water (an instructor is always by your side) and lets you get a first "taste" of what scuba diving is about! All the equipment is usually included...CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-31447057232557534402009-07-19T00:18:59.381+02:002009-07-19T00:18:59.381+02:00Nice post!

R...MzzLily, you're on! Those are such fun! :o)<br /><br />Rhonda, I used to enjoy the beach much more as a kid... when I wasn't conscious of the problems caused by the sun and I could spend hours playing with sandcastles, throwing frisbees with my sisters, jumping waves etc... If I had kids of my own I might come to enjoy it again!<br /><br />But as it is what I really <i>really</i> <b>REALLY</b> like is being IN the water! (so yeah, 82' underwater was fabulous!) There's a reason I chose Marine Biology, and it ain't just the dolphins! :p<br />I usually grant my friends one "beach" day per summer (i.e. a whole day out at the beach, lounging, picknicking, playing games etc) but they actually haven't suggested it yet this year (nor last year!) and I'm not reminding them! Those hours between 12 and 5pm are a killer for me! And it's not just my red-head skin but the heat! I have trouble dealing with all that heat! :p<br /><br />I'm sure I'd enjoy the beach more in some place where the sun didn't beat down so mercilessly at noon! Oh, and some place where you could actually find some cool sea shells on the sea shore! ;o)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-70647297507586615442009-07-18T13:59:31.964+02:002009-07-18T13:59:31.964+02:00"I'm not a beach fan…" What? I had t..."I'm not a beach fan…" What? I had to read that several times before it sank in.<br /><br />That's okay, you redeemed yourself with the dive narrative. I've never dived, but I love snorkeling. Much less equipment, but you miss a lot. Must have been an incredible 82 minutes! Even if you didn't see a lot, just being surrounded by all that water would make me happy!<br /><br />I'm with you on the midday heat though. Here I only hit the beach in the morning and evenings in the summer heat and most days I stay indoors until Fall. Not a fan of oppressive heat. I have those redheaded genes from my daddy and grandmother. I'm not a redhead, but I've got the fair skin that burns easily. Now on the coast of California it is much, much cooler and very low humidity. There you escape the heat of the valleys, by going to the beach. I'm still California Dreamin'.Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-59422437917170439902009-07-18T07:26:53.601+02:002009-07-18T07:26:53.601+02:00If I ever come visit, I'll avoid the sun with ...If I ever come visit, I'll avoid the sun with you and go for a night swim!<br /><br />Nice shots.Lillian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488638666900705015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-85832940089653716012009-07-17T10:56:54.628+02:002009-07-17T10:56:54.628+02:00Hey Nancy!

It totally lets you get the feel for being "in another world"! :o)<br /><br />Yeah, as one of your commentors said this downturn might turn out to have some positive effects on how people view their lives...CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725445476483285712.post-52195493767106654172009-07-17T07:00:36.028+02:002009-07-17T07:00:36.028+02:00Oh Chris this sounds awesome!

I have a Henderson Hyperstretch wetsuit and weight integrated BCD and it makes a huge difference with comfort. With that suit, you can gain 5 lbs over the winter and it will still fit you in the Spring AND I don't get wedgies anymore. Well done...Travel & Dive Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726948140601040484noreply@blogger.com
