How Do You Get Started In Scuba Diving?
The feeling we get when diving may be the closest we can come to the feeling of self propelled flight. If you have had repeated desires to learn then it is something I recommend.

Between taking the classes and buying the equipment you will be making a significant financial investment to the hobby. Some dive shops will let you rent the tank, regulator, BCD, and wet suit but they will usually want you to have your own mask, fins, and snorkel. Diving is rewarding and fun, but there are obvious dangers involved. Try to avoid taking lessons from Uncle Joe who just learned how to dive himself last Summer.
