When somethings really suck

Posted at 6:16 PM on 12/13/2005

So the sun is great  the water looks amazing... but you just wonder if you are off diving... I guess is one of that days. I tried to freedive today. The water was 20 degrees and I realised that when you learn to dive in places like the Red Sea and S.E asia... going to the water in cold conditions is almost impossible....

 

It simply sucks... I loose interest. Someone called me a hollywood diver. They said that I'm one of that instructors that only dive in perfect conditions. Well... after this week... may be they are right. But I wonder if is that not the point?

 

Why I want to dive in crap conditions? I mean, I'm not a commercial diver or an navy diver... so why diving cold? Why diving in low visibility? Do you win extra brownie points with the diving gods when you dive in horrible water?

 

May be you do....

 

but I guess it is just not for me.

 

Anyway.... diving a wreck here in Victoria tomorrow... the name of the wreck is almost impossible to spell... but hopefully that will bring back some love into this diving world....

 

Beside that been with Rebecca and Sebastian is better than diving again in the Blue Hole in Dahab... I simply love to spend every time with them.....

 

Am I crazy? May be I am... but at this time... dry diving into my son life is the best diving I can do at the moment...

since I have three of the little rugrats...I know what you mean. They are so precious. Savor this time...because they do grow so quickly. I know some people prefer warm water. I guess I prefer the ease of warm water, less gear, thin wetsuit, etc. But I LOVE the diversity of life in colder water. Just curious..if that's 20 degrees celcius, then that's 68 F, right??? We call that WARM in California!! :) Hope tomorrow is better for ya.

Brrrrr!!! I hope you mean 20C and not 20 F ! Hilary is right, if its 20C, that's around 68F here~ and I'd be VERY happy if it was 68F !! lol
Sebastian is a lucky little boy to have such great, loving parents :)

20 degrees is GREAT - it's 19 degrees over here in South Australia, and it WON'T get much warmer - so get a better wetsuit (drysuit if you must!) and make the most of it ....or go north and stop whinging!
