Scuba 101

December 30, 2007 - 8:30 AM by Stephanie

Does the thought of communing with the fish in a non-dead mafia type of way get your adrenaline flowing?

Fancy yourself strutting around in a wetsuit James Bond/Bond Girl style, i.e. all curves, sex appeal and after-dive martini in hand? (while still wearing the wetsuit of course)

Then maybe you should give a glance to Brian’s entry over at This Normal Life on his introductory SCUBA dive.

Brian & family donned wetsuits, weightbelts and tanks and hopped into waters off Eilat’s coast.

..I had a hard time shaking my apprehensions. What if I had a panic attack and couldn’t breathe? What if I opened my mouth too wide and I swallowed water instead of air? What if they’d neglected to fill my oxygen tank all the way and I found myself sucking on nothing (never mind the fact that the tank holds a full 2 hours of air, more than enough for our brief introduction).

But there was no time to contemplate further. My dive instructor nearly pushed me under and then there I was floating and breathing and being pulled down, deeper and deeper.

Then again, maybe you shouldn’t read it…Just kidding. It’s not THAT ominous…mwahahahahaaaaaa
