I have been 500 feet (150 meters) beneath the ocean in a dark cave where a single mistake would have killed me instantly. Yet I'd still be more scared to talk to a beautiful stranger at a bar than to go on a dive.. Am I brave or am I coward, I dont even know. I guess the fact that the fear has never stopped me, I still talk to them despite the fear is more important than the fear itself.
@xyfdi Yea the risk comes entierly (almost) from the human element. One or two breaths fromt he wrong tank and It would be garunteed death at depth
@freemo
Well, at least all your problems are not an issue for you anymore. 😉
Nice! I've wanted to become cave certified but I'm still trying to master my buoyancy. Don't want to be kicking up dirt in that environment haha.
@greylaw89 It takes a lot of practice :)
@greylaw89 @freemo I’m sticking to open water and single tank dives. I get too distracted to do anything else.
My fear is less in the conversation as it is in myself misreading signals. I can't count on one abacus how many girls I've offended by having a platonic conversation and then reacting as though it were more than platonic. Thankfully that was way back when everyone wasn't wound as tight as we are now days and I was basically an inconsequential nerd who could be easily ignored.
@freemo
To be fair, procedures with equipment that operate as designed make it a comfortable and predictable experience. People on the other hand, fuck knows how this works. Just praise RNGesus things don't escalate.
