Nope just a divemaster

@scubaguy okay I remember hearing that term but I don’t recall what it is! How is it different from a diving intstructor?

I wonder how old you have to be to start?

NickiHijab · F
I've only done it once and there was an instructor behind me just in case I forgot how to function
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@NickiHijab how did you like it? And, were the waters clear?
NickiHijab · F
@Foreverconfused I loved it and they were, plus that Mediterranean sea water does wonders for your sinuses lol
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@NickiHijab youre soooooooo lucky
TexChik · F
I have snorkeled but scuba pushes way too far into my Closter phobia.
@TexChik me too but if I could I'd love to dive in a shark cage with great whites

@TexChik Lol, but you will get in a small cockpit waaaaay up in the blue yonder!
TexChik · F
@Coletracer And air is everywhere...🤷‍♀️

@scubaguy (no, I don’t teach) but I absolutely had a crush on my scuba instructor! He was an amazing human being who made a difference in other peoples lives. Truly one of a kind. Happily married I was 35? And he was 65! Haha I suppose since he ended up leading dives, he ended up being well loved by many!!!! So I think just by association, you must be a borderline beautiful inside too!! I’ve been invited to go scuba this year, just not in my budget :-(
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@scubaguy essentially yes!
scubaguy · 26-30, M
@Foreverconfused lol sounds like an interesting marriage ;)
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@scubaguy it is just right for me. Is it too much to ask where do you scuba?
Jlhzfromep · M
I was an instructor at a local dive shop and at a community college for a few years. Now I just dive for pleasure but only three or four times a year.
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
Awesome! @Jlhzfromep
No, I'm afraid I'd sink to the bottom like Sponge Bob.

I used to want to learn, though.
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@SethGreene531 it’s actually easier than swimming!!!
I do not. And i think i heard scuba activities are the number 3 cause of death for men over 40

No way for me gunny you never know what your going to come across
GunFinger · F
@Manzi i was with a group and an instructor so it was alright.😊
Beardedguy · 31-35, M
I know been a while though
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@Beardedguy same here. I was never able to get a single guy to love scuba like me, they were all married :-( it’s just more fun to have a scuba buddy to share with.
Beardedguy · 31-35, M
@Foreverconfused yeah it sure is
GunFinger · F
Yes, only once when we were on holiday in the Philippines.
scubaguy · 26-30, M
Indeed I do :) you?
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@scubaguy I am certified.
Ramrod · 46-50, M
No,but i would like to learn how to. :)
Coletracer · M
Always wanted to, but never did.
silentwriter180 · 51-55, F
Although I do not dive due to epilepsy, I did take my above water classes, so that I am aware of the skills. I did that as I work in the dive industry making custom Wetsuits and drysuits.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
I was told I cant because of my asthma.
Starcrossed · 41-45, F
@Foreverconfused no, it was a long time ago when I was told that -back when my lungs were in a lot worse shape. I have it better under control now but to be honest I never looked back into the possibility of being able to dive, just assumed there were rules and I couldn't be certified.
Foreverconfused · 56-60, F
@Starcrossed well it’s safer
Beardedguy · 31-35, M
@Starcrossed i have it and i was allowed to
Bobdale · 56-60, M
