Forget Scuba Board! Learn from the best...

[Rick Inman]

Don't know if this link has been posted before or not, but here is a chance to learn from the best.
Forget PADI, forget SSI, forget YMCA, and even DIR. Go to this link, scroll about 2/3rds down the page and listen to the MP3 called, How to Skin Dive. Then dive like a real man!

I love those double hose regs.

Something I would love to know: How do you clear your ears with a mask that covers your nose like that?

Push up on the bottom of the mask and the skirt will come up against the bottom of you nose.

I walked into my first OW pool session and was introduced to my dive instructor, Mike Nelson. No kidding !!!

Being 50 and watching all those episodes of Sea Hunt for years I could'nt help but just look and say to this guy, "You got to be kidding?" LOL

As we went through the gear brief and the dive knife came up, he just looked at me and said, "No. We don't use it to cut the bad guys air hose."

Mike is a great instructor with a sense of humor.

Real divers had two balls. Remember the old double snorkel masks?

Allways wanted one, but we were poor, and could only afford one ball.
