Who scuba dives?

[FROSTY:Me]

Advanced open water, night and wreck and navigation. Haven't been diving for years although I still have the gear. I used to do it a lot, but given my current level of unfitness it would be a bad idea.
I got down to 48m in the engine room on the President Coolidge in 1999 - definitely nitrogen narcosis starting there, and it went away once we started going up. All decompression dives with drop tanks (2 per day) but a great trip.

-heading to Va end of the month to finish my Divemaster rating. -Next year its IDC instructor course.

Did a NZUA course with Guy Kidd 40 yrs ago. Couldn't be stuffed doing any more courses - just did a shit load of diving through the late 70's, early 80's - Poor Nights and Coromandel mainly. It's a bugger trying to carry all your dive gear on the back of a Ducati GT750.........

You certainly haven't had the easiest life have you.

So you're less scared racing Isle of Man than going in the ocean?

I'm afraid of heights, but happy to swing on a sidecar around western springs or palmy with concrete walls.

Maybe not, been Locked away in social welfare at the age of 13 also. but had an extremely good one though mate since deciding to start racing when I was 23. Have travelled the entire world many times, lived in many diff countries, speak enough Japanese to get by, won the TT 3 x, and broke a concrete wall there also Haha. Under water seriously interests me bu but but, No problems going out fishing in a boat at all though


You dirt swingers have balls for sure, My racing started as a road race swinger in 1986. SORRY Frosty, back on track now.

Shaun - New Plymouth dive centre used to offer free first pool session including a crack at their chopper simulator a few times a year. A good way to break the ice.
The beach round by the port is not much different to a pool and most adults can stand out to about 100m from shore.
Great place to chuck a mask and snorkel on and check out some marine life. Some will come over to check you out too.

I never went scuba because of my ears but I used to really like snorkeling around the waterways of the naki.
