    I’m convinced divers just used it so they could sound even more elitist and like astronauts when they’re just dudes with a few grand and nothing better to do.

    Hey… Some of us just like blowing bubbles and hanging out with fish.

    It is pretty fun, but to be honest not worth the money if you have to pay for the training yourself, especially if you don’t live near a good diving spot.

      yeah, this is very true. I’d love diving tropical stuff every day but don’t want to live where it’s warm lol; where I live there are some crazy folks who drysuit dive all the time, but even then it’s waaaay too cold for me. I want the water warm but the rest nice and cool lol

        I’m one of those crazy drysuit divers. I’m usually plenty warm on a dive, and seeing a pristine shipwreck at the bottom of the great lakes is pretty awesome
