That’s pretty neat.
Scuba is creepy if you think of all the things that go bump in the water - at least this would be a good way to see if you like the pure scuba experience.

I tried indoor skydiving to see what it felt like without jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.

OK, one more time.

That I would like to try.

Thanks for the link.

Bye, for real this time.

Other than trying it out or for training, I fail to see how this place will stay in business. According to their web page, they also do baptisms. Maybe that will help. I wonder if they get taxpayer subsidies.

You should try night diving if you think regular scuba is creepy. The only thing you can see is where your flash light is shining. Things zooming thru the beam and only catch a glimpse of what it is.

A lot of fish come out at night. Ya always have that feeling that something is creeping up behind you.

I got SCUBA qualified about 20 years ago. Did some diving in Mexico and Cuba, but when I moved to FL and picked up a boat, some things I saw changed my mind. We had a couple of 10’ sharks circling the boat and that was enough for me. I cut up my PADI card.
