Any scuba divers out there?

Hi - I came across your insurance question and tried to email you.....also about the diving but they said your email has been 'unconfirmed' so my email wouldn't go through....you may want to check this out.  You may have to go into the email address you generated for this and acknowledge their link to confirm it so you can get emails.\n\nSo...I'm copying the email here:\n\nI don't know if this will help you at all....but at least you will have coverage...if it works.\n\n\nMy idea....if the house hasn't sold yet.  Tell the insurance company that you moved and that it is being rented.  If they need a copy of a lease... you can pick them up at any office max for $10.00.  Fake a signature...or better yet..if you have family or friends still by your old house see if they will sign the lease..just in case they need id's.  Had to do this after father-in-law passed away.  It worked.\n\nGood luck...I know it's a pain in the butt.\n\np.s.  I'm a scuba diver....but never been to N.C. to dive.  My favorite place is Curacao.  If you ever go there diving....let me know and I will tell you the best spot to stay...where you just walk down 27 steps with your gear straight into the ocean...great for new and experienced divers.  Gradually slopes from 5 feet to 200 feet.  Has overhanding cliffs to dive under and excellent for underwater photos.  Happy bubbles!!

Hey, well, in the begining I didn't exactly want to scuba dive but then i thought..'what the heck' and went for it, it is really awesome...and i spoke to alot of people that get claustrophobic and they said that they don't really feel it when they in the ocean, its really beautiful, like already said, it feels as though you're flying and it's like a totally different world, it feels free, no stress etc.\nHave loads of fun and good luck!\nPS. the other cool thing about being a scuba diver is when people ask you what you hobbies are, and you mention scuba diving, you usually get a look of amazement and then they start asking questions.... it's really cool....lol\n:-)

There are many diving clubs and diving tours in Greece.  Check the major ones and they may give your some names on Tassos dive tours!\n\nGood luck, enjoy, and be safe!!

Firstly i have to mention, Whilst I am certified, I'm not the most experienced diver, so I cant speak for everyone,but I think everyone dives for their own reasons, and some of us may not be all that sane :) but I can tell you why I do. It is like going to another planet, the beauty never fails to surprise and amaze. Every single dive is different and you never know what you'll see. If your want you can interact with amazing wildlife, and some of them want to play with you! As a water baby I find an awesome sense of peace by just being underwater, I cant believe that not everyone feels the same way...And the way you feel more alive just after a dive is worth all the trouble. Yes we do have to ALWAYS have to keep in mind the dangers, there are so many of them, but I think that goes hand in hand with respecting the amazing environment we are about to enter, our bodies are not built to go where it cant get its most fundamental need, air, but a lucky few of us brave it anyway.. Hopefully the dangers keep people who shouldn't be diving out of it..bad buddy experience..

Yes such devices exist. I used to have a paintball coach that would fill his tank with his scuba tank.  You can use nitrogen or High Compressed air. Look at my source. Good luck- I know paintball can be expensive (I used to play on a competitive team!).

There are a number of places to dive.  I would suggest visiting a local dive store (LDS) and checking: a) on any books they have on local shore dives; b) any shop dives they do (typically these are free shore dives); and c) any local charters they do.  Heck, visit more than one LDS (i.e., fifth dimension, silent world, UWS, etc.)\n\nI think Titlow beach near Tacoma is nice as is the Edmonds underwater park.  Octopus hole and Sund Rock on Hood Canal can also be decent.  Many do the Alki area as well.  I would probably pick Edmonds but that is personal taste.  (Full dsiclosurte:  I have not done any in the San Juans, Strat of Juan de Fuca, etc. which are all likely to be much better)\n\nIn any event, the shop dives are a great way to find out about an area and do the dive with a  group who knows the area.  Then you can decide if you want to put it on your regular rotation.  The local charters (i.e., Bandido, et. al.) are also a good way to see some non-shore based sites.  Finally, the books describe many great locations.\n\nTwo final observations:  Currents matter around here and it is best to dive at slack or ebb -- check a current table and plan your dive accordingly.  Viz is better in the winter and, I think, tends to be better at high tide.

Try your local Ymca.  Often times they have Scuba courses available.  If you are not a Ymca member then you might have to pay a little more but my family got certified in Bloomington Indiana so you should be able to get scuba lessons in WI.

Diving lesson in KL might be a little bit difficult.  If you were really serious about diving, try to spend 4 - 5 days in Pulau Redang or Pulau Perhentian.  These are great places to learn diving as well as to relax your mind...Nice islands!\n\nPersonally I just get certified last month, I did it in Koh Lanta, Thailand.  I had so much fun & great time!  If you were going to Koh Lanta, check out my dive centre at www.scooldivers.com They might not be the most professional dive centre in Lanta, but i would say they are just the most THAI people i meet during the trip.  Their slogan is "we give you more than diving" - which is really true!\n\nTry check out the PADI website for reputable dive centre :)

Depends if you want to come up again or not. It's not swimming down that's the problem.\n\nIf you're not bothered about coming up, you should dive over the Marianas Trench which reaches 10,911m down (not sure how accuracy to a metre is guaranteed!).\n\nFree diving has various categories and records, but the absolute maximum at the moment is held by Austrian diver Herbert Nitsch. On 2 October 2005 he dived to a depth of 172 m (564 feet).\n\nCurrently, the world record for scuba diving is just over 1000ft.  On June 13, 2005 Nuno Gomes, a 52-year-old civil engineer from South Africa, descended to a depth of 1,044 feet in the Red Sea. May be a later record now. I find it amazing how little depth we can go to when you imagine how small a 1000ft hill really is, about a 100 storey building.

The Best Scuba place is in Jeddah, as the sea has more verity and is deeper in some places.\n\nDammam is fine, But some islands near jubail(60KM from Dammam) are perfect for diving.

YMCA's sometimes have scuba certification classes.  Also check with a local sporting goods store they might know where to get a cert. or try the good 'ol yellow pages

Hi, well if you're in London I recommend Diving Leisure, they are knowledgeable and stock good equipment at reasonable prices and they're great fun to chat to.  \nhttp://www.divingleisurelondon.co.uk\n\nIf you're not in London then the Mike's Waterfront Warehouse chain is pretty good and worth a look in.  \n\nIf you can you should check out the Dive Shows as very often shops do special deals for the show.  Always worth a look in.

It's better to be a good swimmer, but you can do it without being one.  Just make sure that you have a good dive buddy and that you can carry the weight of the tank, bc, regulator, etc.  Also, make sure your scuba instructor has a rescue diver certification and is really certified.  If you're in the Bahamas often times people will say they're certified when they're not.  The safest thing to do is to get certified in the United States because of the regulations set upon scuba divers and instructors.  I would personally suggest going snorkeling before scuba diving because the only differences is that with scuba you bring your air underwater with you.  If you've snorkeeled before, you should be fine.  Make sure to ask about the current and to scuba dive in relatively calm waters, as that is the safest environment for weak swimmers.  Have fun!

I've been to Miami several times and gone diving there while on vacations from Chicago.\n\nBut since my dive buddy moved from there about six months ago, I haven't been back.
