All right, I'll clarify then, I don't accept chic's leftovers unless they're over a month-old .

Scuba - It also gets colder, the deeper you go. You can't stay at that depth very long or you run the risk of both nitrogen narcosis and decompression sickness(aka - the bends).Originally Posted by SquirrelDip
So you are an advanced openwater scubadiver as well, I see.

@bazooka: Forgot about the colder... Did 120 feet in Phuket Tailand, water was so warm that I didn't really notice any colder at depth. I've only done that depth once and considering the short time permitted at that depth I've never had any interest to do a dive that deep again.
I think the most interesting dive I've ever done was a night dive at 40-50 feet in Cozumel Mexico - it's amazing how the sea floor comes alive at night.

In lake Ontario there's a point to where you feel the pressure line of the water. You're all warm, and the water feels normal. You stick your arm down, and you feel ice cold and heavy pressure. The water litterally feels thicker. The water is fairly clear now, but that's because of all the zebra muscle that's made it into the water. Sadly, it's killed a lot of shore fish.Originally Posted by bazooka

As for diving in Cozumel - it was beautiful! Just stay away from going to soon after hurricane season (same goes for anything Caribbean). Some of the best diving I've ever done is in the Florida Keys.
