@trinsec Yup! Cant wait for our first dive together!

@freemo Finally something different than diving in bed together? 😜 😋

@trinsec lol yes because I was getting so bored of that :)

@freemo 😂 Or she got bored so she finally got the certificate! 😜

@trinsec I will accept that :)

@freemo

@hadriscus I was the same, first dozen dives or so were very scary. Even just the idea of swimming in deep ocean far from shore was scary.. now im a tech diver going 450 feet down like its nothing.

@freemo cool !! 450 feet is... about 150m ? holy shit
I remember feeling more or less at ease for my first and only dive so far -but it was so shallow and bright, there was no sense being afraid. I'm curious about the WWII wrecks around my hometown of Marseille, when I'm more experienced- and here in Mayotte we have the barrier reef to explore, it's an amazing sight.

@hadriscus Yea few people are diving as deep as I dive, we are called Technical Divers. For dives like that I'm diving with 5 tanks total. Not as scary as it sounds though, but it does take a decent amount of training.

@freemo we're not talking about diving for leisure here ? or are we

@hadriscus For leisure yes.. despite the name "Technical Diving" it is still non-commercial in nature. Some people might use it for research or something, but for the most part its leisure diving.

@freemo alright I assumed it involved salvaging or repairing or something to that effect.

@hadriscus It can be used to that effect, at least if your operating solo... But usually for commercial diving on commercial boats with expensive setups you are getting a different but similar sort of certification. You also operate at deeper depths a lot of time in a rigid suit.
