    Yes, I should have read it all first I s'pose, but since nobody else does...

      What do at home is your own business. Anyway, back to scuba diving...

        Don't imagine I'll ever do that again now that I've got a family but ti was worth doing, especially the going in the cave at 70 and coming out a chimney a 50m bit. Getting a shudder down the spine just thinking about it now

          I quite enjoy narcosis, but you have to be aware and sort yourself out before you do anything silly.

          I did guided dives on HMAS Swan for a while - there's a missile loading tube at the front which you can absolutely race down (crash dive style) until you hit the bottom. It's about 15 metres, got narked a few times down there - it's pretty dark and scary, until you realise that you're never more than 5m from the open ocean.

          I am now, obviously, older and wiser. I've pretty much given up scuba now except for holidays. Being a DM in the UK was about as much fun as a kipper down your wetsuit on a shark feeding trip.

            This is getting far too serious, now. What's happening to the forum? Where are all those innuendos?
