Diving question
« on: August 07, 2006, 06:43:42 PM »
Is it possible to be a diver, and enjoy it, but never go deeper than 20'?



I think I could surface from 20' if I panicked. hahahaha

You could surface from 40ft if something happened. I actually had to do it from 30ft on my first dive. The DM turned my air on after Jenny had and I didn't check until I was 30ft down.



Diving is just like climbing, don't panic, just blow bubbles.
I'm not worthy.

if you are willing to dive non-standard sites you can have a lot of fun only diving down to 20 feet.  Take a flash light and poke around in all the holes.  That is where all the cool shit is.  One comment I have heard Bill say many times is "either 300 feet or 3 feet".   The only problem you will have is sometimes the viz does not open up till you get below 30 - 40 feet.  I will say this if you dive a lot around 20 feet it will be just a matter of time before you hit a cool site and end up at 30 to 40 and never know it till you look at your gauge.
