Hi David and welcome aboard.
If you've been following the discussions you probably know there's
a wide variety of interests here.
Feel free to jump in anytime. We appreciate different viewpoints
and welcome input from all the guys.
Whether you plan on building a sub, or are just interested in all
things under the water, I highly recommend a scuba course. It really is like
visiting another planet. The cost in time and money is really quite
insignificant when put in relation to a life time of future experiences and
possible opportunities.
For me it was a life changing event and although there are some
dangers involved, the benefits are huge in both fun and education. I've never
made a dive I didn't thoroughly enjoy for one reason or another. You might think
it's expensive but once you have your gear, it virtually costs just a couple
dollars to spend the day in a place like no other on the whole planet
!
As Dean said " do something you really enjoy" and when you get to
be an old fart like us, you can look back at your life with great
satisfaction.
