I know, incredibly stupid question on a scuba forum, huh? But really, here's what I mean:
I love to look at interesting stuff underwater. I get excited about finding something new, or spotting beautiful nudibranchs, or seeing a huge octopus. It was fun cruising the wrecks up in Canada.
But really, I'm hooked on DIVING. I love hovering, absolutely motionless for as long as I can pull it off. I grin when I back-kick, and I'm completely delighted when we do an ascent drill and nail our stops. I love sitting in a light current and just letting it pull me along. Just being underwater, and the skills I've learned for moving myself around there (or not moving, as the case may be) is so much fun, I don't even really have to find much of anything to look at to make a good dive.
(Since I've spent all of the last six or eight dives practicing skills, I guess this is a good thing.)
Anybody else as hooked on the process as on the results?
