Scuba diving
I have returned recentlyfrom a week to the very nice Spanish island Mallorca in the Mediterranean Sea. I am definately not a beach guy. When I am going on vacation I like to walk/hike through the mountains. But I managed quite well with my gameboy on the beach. :-) Golden Sun is an awesome game.
Anyways I experienced something new over there: scuba diving. My brother did it already a couple of times and convinced me to go diving with him and with an instructor of course. One of the weirdest things I have done. Imagine yourself 6 metres below surface and you can breath... wtf? Problem is that if you have an itch under your nose you cannot scratch :-) The first half an hour it was very weird, very hard to get used to breathing, especially when you get salt water in your mouth. Trying to float in the water is hard to, it depends on a mix of oxygen in the lungs, air in your suit and lead weights on your waist. I have a very large lung capacity due to playing tuba for many years and found it hard to float. If I take a deep breath I will float to the surface.
In a nutshell, if you are curious about it, definately go for it if the opportunity is there. If you are in doubt... in my opinion do not waste your money, it is a pretty expensive hobby. I definately will go again, problem is that they do no have a lot of beaches in the mountains.
