Massive Squid

While trying not to steer too far away from the thread, does anyone else fear the depths of the oceans? I hate not knowing whats beneath me. :cry:

 

Started when i was out swimming in the sea in Cyprus when i was about 15 i guess. Happily swimming along and could see the ocean floor quite clearly until i suddenly found myself hovering over what looked liked a deep, black hole in the sea floor. I could've swam around it because it was literally just a round swirl of water that dropped down but the circle was only about 3 metres wide. That was enough for me. I prompted shat myself, turned around and swam back to shore as if Jaws was out hunting again! My god did i swim fast!!!

 

Will always remember that day. :(

I did my advanced open water diving when I was 15 - deepest I've been was 40m. I love the sea, it's like a completely different world down there.

 

Giant squid? Where can I get an industrial sized bucket of black bean sauce then . . .

I used to be a bit like that, but changed when I tried scuba - it's the lack of visibility that gets you from above the water. When you get down into it, it all changes. Learned to dive in 30 metres vis. in the Maldives - that kinda' chills you out.

LMAO 30 metres!

 

while i was training in plymouth we considered 3 metres good vis! most of the time if you wanted to check your air then you had to put the gauge on your mask :p

 

Yeah, been there too - Horsey Lake for advanced navigation - vis got down to about 6 inches once all the crap got kicked up off the bottom. Had to "navigate" to find the compass, forget actually going anywhere!

 

Did the Kyarra too (where those people died a few months back) - that was fun - about 3 metres vis, and cold enough to pass me off as honorary female!
