Hi, my name is Michael i am from London and i am 13 years old. I recently grabbed an intrest in scuba divng about a month and a half ago and i plan to go on my first scuba dive in a few weeks. If i enjoy my first dive i would like to go on and and take a padi open water. I am sooooo exicted about scuba diving that i wanted to join these forums. Thanks for reading and introducing me to ScubaBoard.

Michael

P.S Like most weird humans i am very fussy about how much mayonaise i have on food i dont like the taste of, does breathing scuba air taste any diffrent from normal air?

Welcome to scuba board. lots of good people and info here.

Scuba air is dry and goes through a lot of filtration to remove impurities, so it doesn;t really have a "taste". If it does, there is probably something amiss. Only had that happen once in 1200 dives.
