What do you do besides Scuba?

[scuba-sass]

But I still enjoy singing, hiking and Obedience and Agility Training with my mutt.

Besides diving (which I seemed to have done less of this year) I go dry caving, and recently took a vertical caving course so I can now rappeal and climb single rope to drop pits etc, which will double the amount of dry caving that can do now.

I also want to start kayaking and am thinking about buying one this spring.

My biggest things are caving (vertical/dry caving - haha, 'dry' caving that requires wetsuits) and downhill skiing. I also do a fair bit of XC skiing, whitewater and open water kayaking, canoeing, and whitewater rafting. I'm also a computer geek, A+ certified (that joke of a test). I play gym hockey and like to travel as much as I can. Haven't gotten off the continent yet, but I usually make it to a few places around the country a year. San Diego, Asheville, New Orleans, and South Dakota in the last couple of years.

I haven't really done anything less since I started diving.. as a matter of fact, I started diving pretty soon after I started caving. They don't interfere much..

Are you an NSS member yet? Any chance I'll see you in Michigan at the 2004 convention? Also, if you have a week to spare I highly recommend you attend the NCRC Cave Rescue course held annually.. will really help you with some rope techniques, among other things. Oh yeah, pick up a copy of Alpine Caving Techniques and On Rope if you don't already have them. On Rope is sort of the bible of North American ropework, whereas Alpine Caving Techniques is a fairly new (well, newly translated anyway) that is a fantastic reference for how stuff is done everywhere else in the world.

Sailing, paragliding and skiing. Have been known to travel not to dive and once did more trekking than I do now.

Scuba, Choppers and the gym...................well, not so much of the gym lately. That needs to change.........so does my waistline....hum....maybe they are related.

By George I think I've got it!

I do interperative dance in the streets of Delray. I've found that I have had to sacrifice dance time to dive, so now I combine the two and do interperative dance in the streets of Delray with my scuba gear on. The town folk seem to enjoy it, but the police found it disturbing.

I go to the gym at least 3xs a week...recently lost a lot of weight (well, not as much as before christmas...LOL) and trying to be able to fit in my wetsuit come summer again
I also recently learned to play raquetball (okay, so I'm not exactly a pro at that either) and take belly dancing classes. Of course, I have other hobbies that can't be mentioned...this being a family board and all.
When I was out of work a couple months ago, I taught myself to cook and I'm really enjoying that as well! Scuba really hasn't taken precedence, except for swimming...oh well

Yep I am a NSS member, and I went to my first TAG this year. I won't make it to Michigan though, but plans are in the works to try and get the convention down here in Florida in a few years.

I took the orientation NCRC weekend course with Tim White a few months ago and did my SRT course with him as well. You can check out pics from both courses at www.caves.com/fss. I think you click on current events and they are listed there.

We are having a Florida Cave Cavort in March or April if you are interested in coming down I can let you know more info when plans are finalized.

Awesome! Tim White is a nice guy.. at least you're getting into it the right way. The weekend NCRC courses are great. Have fun with it, caving is a great sport and there's a *lot* going on in caving if you look deep enough.
