The Ocean contains 90% of the Planet's life. You can see everything from the largest mammal to the smallest plankton.
Seeing the Ocean life gives you a whole new perspective on the world. If you read the project AWARE book, you will discover that the world's coral reefs are in danger of disappearing from bleaching and pollution in the next 40-50 years!!! Diving can give you an awareness of what we must do on land to preserve the home for so many wonderful creatures.
I have seen wrecks, giant kelp beds, whales, lava tubes, and more sealife than I can list. I dive 8-10 times a week. There is no better way to start my day than heading out with a buddy for a dawn dive.
If you have not been out, take a discover scuba course. It is quick and will have you in the water in no time. Sessions begin in the pool so that you are not scared and have time to acclimate and relax and learn several skills. If you like it you can continue on to become certified as an Open Water diver.

Yes, it was wonderful. It was quite a few years ago in Acapulco, Mexico. We were vacationing and decided to go scuba diving. We thought we were going to go through a few hours of lessons. No.
In the boat he said if you want to come up, signal thumbs up. If you're running out of air, hand across the throat. That was about it.
The water is so clear to start with. It was so wonderful. I'm kinda claustrophobic and the first few minutes it was hard to breathe. When I first realized I could breathe with no problem I loved it.
Our tour guide told us to bring cheez whiz to feed the fish. He would tap a rock on another rock and they would swarm around us. We'd squirt the cheez whiz out and they would swarm to eat it. It was so neat.
There were so many colors of tropical fish and they were everywhere. It was one of the most memorable times that I have ever had. I would love to do it again, but in the U.S. You have to go through many hours of training and get certified. I've heard it costs a few hundred dollars so I've never looked into it.
If you get a chance, it is one of the most wonderful experiences you'll ever experience.

I have scuba dived interior the red Sea in Aqaba off the coast of Jordan. It became a journey, after that i determined it became going to be a activity of mine and offered all my personal equipment. The corals were alluring, the fish were colourful. It became a good journey and plan on doing it again.

Yes, I dove the Channel Islands off the coast of L.A., and saw the kelp and kelp dwellers. I dove the bahamas with the sharks. Also saw hammerheads off the tip of Baja. Turtles in Hawaii. Colorful fish in the British Virgin Islands. Wrecks in the Great Lakes of Michigan.

I went once in Florida. I saw some bright colored fishes and plants. It was a very fun experience.

No. I think I would feel too scared. What I want to do is go snorkeling. The water is more shallow!
