Why Take Up Scuba Diving?

Have you ever wondered why you've seen scuba divers suiting up at 5 am on a weekend?  Why their vacation stories always seem to involve being underwater?  Or why you have friends who just can't seem to get enough scuba diving?

I have been diving for nearly fifteen years, and I've discovered that there are two reasons people become addicted: adventure, and relaxation.  Sounds contradictory, I know.  But I, like many other divers, have a curious reaction to dropping off the side of a boat into the water.  The first thing that happens is my mind goes blank.  Any problems, stressors, or worries simply fall away when I enter the water.  Surfers and swimmers will tell you the same thing.

Next, my anticipation builds; I never know what a particular dive will be like.  Whether teaching students or chasing sharks, it's guaranteed to be a mind-blowing experience.  The Discovery Channel runs all those underwater specials for a reason; we're all fascinated.  Why not see it all for yourself?
