Have you ever wanted to scuba dive in the ocean?

Good morning! Well, I can tell you from experience - scuba diving is exciting, incredible, peaceful... it's also dangerous, scary and expensive! A few years before my son was born, I got this chance... We went while we were on vacation in the Florida Keys... It can be a life altering experience! If you are, like us, salt water fish keepers, you'll appreciate it even more. It was cool to see fish that we actully had in our tank at home! We saw Groupers and Parrot fish that were huge and so vibrant! It wasn't until AFTER we got back onto the boat that DH told me about the 4 foot long BARACCUDA that was trailing me almost the entire time! Unfortunately, we didn't think to bring an underwater camera, but it's one of those things that you never forget!

No I havent ever wanted to go SCUBA diving in the ocean I am deathly terrified of the ocean if I want to see what is under the water in the ocean I will watch the Discovery channel or National Geographic

this is not something i have any desire to do. i am not big on being underwater. just not my thing but sure it is a lot of fun for those who are really into this kind of thing. thank goodness there is something for everyone, right?

Yes, I think i'd like to scuba dive but its pretty expensive and thee isn't too much to look at where I live.

I would love the experience however I'm not so sure I would do well. My husband and I tried snorkeling once and I could not allow myself to breathe underwater. I kept holding my breath. Maybe with some practice. My husband on the other hand has always wanted to go scuba diving. I hope someday he gets the chance to do it.

with my experienced try it! underwater was different world. by the time you submerged you forget your problems! different satisfaction and may leads you to addictions! he3! once you tasted you always wanted. before i never expected in my whole life to be a scuba diver. so many people told me scuba diving is fun! now i knew it. imagine i can swim and play with the fish not just a fish but a school of fish, met new friends both local and foreigner and explore hidden beauty underwater. i can't put in a single word how am i satisfied. do it before it's to late. see yeah!

I have just earned my scuba diving license. Well, I am just a newbie on diving, so my license is for open water. Perhaps later on, I will be going in the ocean. But actually, diving not so deep like 60 meters is already great enough. This is where you see nice fishes and corals. If you dive to deep already, its already very dark and you cannot see much of the wonders. The sunlight cannot penetrate deep down so corals are not well develop. I have also take pictures during my dive. Its really great.

I have been snorkeling but never Scuba Diving. I would absolutley love to g scuba diving. The life in the ocean is so diferent from ours, and so beautiful I would absolutely love to go scuba diving and hope to some day. (Please excuse the typos my keyboard is messed up)

I have never thought about going scuba diving in the ocean and at my age do not think I would like to now.

I would love to go scuba diving but it is a very expensive hobby.

One of my favorite movies is "The Deep" with nick Nolte. In this movie he is scuba diving for treasure with jacqueline Bisset. Whenever i watch this movie, I fantasize about looking for lost treasures on the ocean floor. I would love to learn to scuba dive just to do that. I also love to watch "Out of The Blue" with Paul Walker and jessica Alba. It is another movie that romanticizes scuba diving and treasure hunting. Anytime I see any movie with scuba diving and lost treasure, it just makes me wish i were a scuba diver too. Finding treasure would be like making your part in history.

Scuba diving is one of my greatest experiences. It is one which is on my bucket list and I have managed to cross it out a decade back. It was really fun going down and swimming with the big fishes. I spent several weeks learning in a pool before we went diving. The view down there is maginificent and really, it is one that has to be seen. Here in the Philippines, we are surrounded by water because we are made up of more than 7000 islands. We have a lot of protected areas here which are really awesome. The Tubbataha Reef here in Palawan is one of the strong contenders in the new 8 Wonders of the World. It's really worth it to get away from the monitor and see the world up close and personal. By the way, I don't work in the tourism industry...

yes i would love to scuba dive in the ocean because i never have before

Scuba diving is one of the most costly hobby and somewhat dangerous but worth seeing. Never tried it yet but i have some friends who were instructor for scuba divers. The ocean seems to be great place to enjoy and going under it must be cool! I've experienced snorkeling, though its good too, i would love to go scuba diving when given the chance. Keep posting! yan

i hav always wanted to scuba dive.! it wuld definately be amazing but the place where i live there are not too many places wer we can scuba dive u knw..! so if i get an oppurtunity i will definately go for it but till then i will hav to only watch the fishes in my aquarium.!

I went scuba diving a few years ago and it was brilliant. If you are worried about dangerous sea creatures then just go somewhere where they don't live and don't touch the animals that you see. I went in Tenerife where you don't find creatures such as sharks and the scenery down there was beautiful with so many colours and things that you simply cant see by looking down on the water. Alternatively you can go on submarine tours which i used to do every years in Lanzarote. You get to see all the animals and stay warm, dry and safe inside the sub.

Honestly while I'm sure I would love the view I would also be worried about sharks or something like what killed Steve Irwin a ray, and those things aren't even vicious. I would maybe buy a sub if I had the money, a very expensive purchase though.

Hi! Actually I scuba dived two summers ago. It's one th emost amazing things to do. Honestly, you areunderwater, no sounds, almost no people, no worries, nothing, just you and fish. And you swim around, and swim around, very slowy, because your just feeling so much peaceful. If ever you get to try scuba diving, you'll see for yourself how amazing it is, if you like fish and serenity, it's for you. Have fun!! I wish you to try it out soon!

I would love to try scuba diving some time. I like to go snokeling now. Up here in New Engalnd the water is a bit cold and thus there is not much to see, but when I go down to florida or the caribian, I always bring my snorkel gear with me. Those under water cameras work good. Last time I went snorkeling, with a friend of mine we got a lot of great fish pictures. I can just imagine how great they would have been if we could have gotten closer.

Yes I have. It looks like an amazing exciting experience being under water but I have always been afraid of the water. But I hope someday I dare to go scuba diving.
