What do you enjoy the most about your diving?

[pnwdiverman]

I like diving for alot of the previos mention reasons. I also like diving because I can be a pleasantly plump (Fat Person) and dive just as well or better that a person who is physically fit. I have never seen a skinny seal.

So, it's winter -- What do YOU find to enjoy about your diving this time of year? (Warm water people can post, but we'll blow raspberries at you )

I wrote about this in the form of a log entry some time ago:

To be perfectly honest I like the summers better because there's more to see but the winter simply amazes me, especially where I live now, because nothing should be able to survive in these conditions but it does.

So what's this "winter" you speak of?

***hovering weightlessly*** Preferrably a drift dive in warm water, so I don't feel like I'm in water at all.

"Winter" is the word that the pre-global-warming generations in the Northern hemisphere used to use for the months November until Feburary. In whole big areas of the Northern hemisphere something called "snow" used to fall from the sky like rain and people used to engage in sliding down the sides of mountains on things called "skis" and "snowboards". Temperatures under the freezing point were often record in the "winter" and some sources even quote temperatures low enough to cause a condition called "frost bite'. Fortunately, the human race has evolved and even this horrible medical ailment has been resigned to an occasional footnote in the history books.

And now for the weather.... it's raining. it always has been raining and it will always rain. In financial news, shares of "Gortex" have spit again for the 3rd time this year. And in politics, the CEO of Gortex looks set to win a land-slide victory in his pitch to become the 56th president of the United States of North America and Iraq.

And you say this as though it were the future . . . Over an inch of rain here AGAIN today. I don't need to go diving, I'm underwater anyway!

I intentionally did not read the other posts yet so they wouldn't influence my thoughts.

1. Cell phones do not work underwater. Anyone who endeavors to change this should be drawn and quartered.

2. Computers (other than dive computers) and the Internet do not work underwater. Anyone who endeavors to change this should be shot.

3. Ipods used to not work underwater. Whoever changed that should at the very least be smacked upside the head.

Basically it is nice to become disconnected and live in a different world, even if it is only for an hour or so.

Ipods actually work underwater now? wow, where was i when this news came out? but...but... who would have the need to listen to music or browse through their saved photos when there is a better thing to do down under?

its like going to this really cool party and bringing a suduko puzzle with you.

I don't think they're actually Ipods. just MP3 players.
