What are you listening to when your getting ready to dive?

[big_dman27]

I am just curious what everyone on here listens to before a dive. I always play rock or hip hop. Lately I have been listening to Critical Bill alot, I dont know if anyone in here has heard of them or not but I really like them. Check their myspace out MySpace.com - Critical Bill - Mount Clemens, MICHIGAN - Rock / Hip Hop / Rap - www.myspace.com/criticalbillmusic and tell me what you think, I dont know they just get me pumped to dive.

Great question.

I'm sure I am probably of much older generation than you, but I have about an hour commute to the Lake, and really enjoy listening to classic Doobie Brothers tunes such as "Takin' it to the Streets", "Wheel of Fortune", and "It keeps you Runnin'".

Dive Safe!

I like classic rock...Eagles, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Def Leppard, Queen, ELO, AC/DC, etc.

But if I'm needing something a bit more current, then it's The Fray, Five for Fighting or Matchbox 20.

Excellent question, BTW.

I normally listen to the local beach city radio station, for local news and traffic, and their contemporary modern music, which is a mix of jazz and funk. I like ConFunkShun and classic groups like that. Songs that you can dance a NYC Hustle to. It wakes me up during the 2 hour drive to the seashore.

But once on the beach, I tune in to the ocean waves and the breezes as I unload gear and move it to a tarp and beach umbrella, and no more music or noise.

Then after the dives, on the return trip, it's back to the contemporary music and traffic news. This keeps you awake while you are off-gassing (decompressing) and driving back.

The other types of music that I like are 1800s Viennese Waltz, 1920s Quickstep, and Latin Mambo and Rumba, but not while on the way to or back from a scuba site. These are best when you are holding a beautiful woman in your arms and dancing across a ballroom with her. After the dive. And then she will love you for it.
