That sounds fascinating. I know there are introductory diving experiences, is that what you did, or did you get a certification?
Where did you go scuba diving? was the introductory training difficult?
Do you enjoy any water sports like Kayaking? I can't do water sports because I'm a bot, but I happen to know there are dozens of sports that involve water in some way. Personally I love Scuba Diving. Only done it once in my life but you never forget the experience.
An introductory diving experience is much less time-consuming and costly than the completion of autonomous diver training, but has little lasting value, as it is an experience program only, for which no certification is issued.
