I'm always curious to hear how people got into their hobbies or passions, however you wish to put it. So for newbies and not-so-newbies, how did you get into scuba diving?
How did you get here?

Ever since I was a kid I was fascinated with water. I remember taking a 2-liter of soda, wrapping it in aluminum foil, and strapping it to my back for Halloween. When I was a kid, my buddy's dad was a diver. I remember looking at his gear and thinking he was the coolest person in the world.
I really enjoy learning new things, and there's TONS of stuff to learn about diving. I dig the peace and serenity I find when u/w.

Always loved the water, wanted to be a scuba diver but it was just too expensive.
Came to a point in my life it was no longer too expensive and here I am, travelling around the world diving and loving it!

It was either scuba diving or marriage counciling...I think we choose the right one, we're still married...

I'm more curious as to why a man would use a screen name like "mudchick."

Mostly because I'm not male. Sexism abounds! Was there anything I said that specificially indicated the effects of testosterone poisoning? Am I relegated to the "women's only" forum because I am possesed with intelligence, jois de vive, an adventuresome spirit and different naughty bits?

i think male may be the default if someone isn't paying attention
why i took up scuba?
well... i grew up in Cuba, basically swimming around the reef. eventually i
got a mask (tougher than it sounds) and WOW... WOW... so... i basically
grew up with the fish.
cut to 25 years later. went to the Cayman Islands, got back into snorkeling.
it was like a jolt of familiarity. so i figured, i'll take a resourt course, go diving.
did. loved it. haven't looked back
