<P>SCUBA diving is one of those things I always wanted to do ! But never got around to.
<P>Illana used to do a lot of diving. But even though she loved it , she dropped it for a number of years.
<P>So it was a natural progression. And now I am learning to dive !!!

A typically day diving consists of :<BR>
Getting up on time ( not always a simple feat ).<BR>
Making sure ALL your gear is packed.<BR>
Then taking that HEAVY gear to the dive site or a boat.<BR>
Lugging that gear.<BR>
Getting into the gear.<BR>
Diving ( 30 minutes might be your average ).<BR>
Getting out of the gear and comfortable.<BR>
Waiting around between dives.(If you are lucky you may get two or three dives in , with a number of hours between each dive.)<BR>
Lugging the gear.<BR>
Taking the gear home.<BR>
Washing the gear.<BR><BR>
As you can see it will take you all day.<BR><BR>
But despite the trouble those few minutes in the water are well worth it. It's magic !!!!<P>
