I was just about to go off to Humbolt, when I met my hubby. Kinda put a kybosh in the whole future plans. I have a distinct fear of ANYTHING sharp, toothy, or otherwise threatening, in the ocean...LOL! I still go in........but boy is it ever hard to do. I have always wanted to scuba dive, but that fear is SO POWERFUL. sigh.....maybe someday I will again pursue my dreams. Even if it is just a hobby!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Anne/Jim, One of my " after the weight is gone " adventure's would be to scuba dive, at least once...I think I would worry about getting seasick more than worrying about sharks...I plan on wearing a very bright colored PLAID wetsuit, to enable the sharkies to realize I am not the tasty morsel they may think....LOL, Donna I still go in........but boy is it ever hard to do.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Donna, you WON'T get sea sick in the water. Once you are about 5 or so feet down, it's not choppy. In fact, about 20 feet down and it can be a hurricane on top and you won't know it. I say go for it: just wear your best and brightest kilt, and carry the biggest dang cattle prod you can find. Oh, and a shark cage, too.
