What a great post! We're glad that in the end you were OK. Enjoyed reading it through. Next year we're going on round the world trip and we hope that we will have a chance to take some diving lessons. Good luck and keep diving. :) Upvoted and followed.

Thanks! If you get the chance then definitely take some lessons or do a discovery dive. It literally opens up a whole new world to you ;) Thanks for the support! :)

An amazing read my friend, i can almost see myself back in a water. Once we did a deep dive in a sunken ship. as you know too well the deeper you are the faster you consume air. So we had like 10-15 minutes at that depths before we had to resurface with a few safety stops. And you know how time flies there. So you are right. It is dangerous as hell but while it is so serene and calm underwater it often seems so peaceful. And that is when it becomes dangerous. Did you also experience Nitro Poisoning, it happens when you do deeper dives and nitrogen in your blood starts to affect you and people start acting funny and crazy? Like being high? :)

[fiftysixnorth]

Thanks mate. Yes, I've experienced Nitro Poisoning (nitrogen narcossis). When I did my training deep dive for the advanced certification we were made to do tasks on the surface (like mathematical sums) and were timed, then had to do the same at depth to gauge how badly we'd be affected. Funny thing is I don't really feel the effects so much anymore when I do deep dives. But I remember the sensation like being tipsy :) I also remember being at 40m depth and getting uncontrollable giggles :)

Heya, just swinging by to let you know this post is being featured in Today's Travel Digest Post!

Look who made it in the featured section again! I reallyyyy want to learn how to dive now though!

[fiftysixnorth]

wow thanks! :) I really appreciate that :) I cannot recommend diving enough! It really is a wonderful experience :D If you ever get the chance then do it!

[steemitworldmap]

Well one of the first things I want to do once I'm in a better financial position is: learn how to sail and dive in Thailand! From there on I do hope to cross the Atlantic Ocean sailing it and diving when the chance occurs, haha!

[fiftysixnorth]

Go for it! Thailand is a great place to learn both of those things, though if you wanna learn to sail like a boss, then I recommend going to holland. There's some hardcore sailing skills needed to sail up and down those canals. :)

WOW what an experience so good you are experienced and clearly have common sense but still so risky

Glad the other diver was OK

Cheers

[fiftysixnorth]

Yeah it was risky and I did make a mistake in not checking my air supply more regularly. There definitely are risks and everyone was relieved that the other guy was ok in the end. :)

[tattoodjay]

Well I hope the rest of your dives were less eventful

[fiftysixnorth]

They were eventful, but in a much more positive way :)

[tattoodjay]

Well thats a good thing look forward to seeing the posts :)

[eveuncovered]

Wonderful images and I like that you have also taken time to tell stories from your trip.

My parents dive and I'm always a little scared for them because I know that it is definitely not the safest of sports. Be careful out there! :)

[fiftysixnorth]

Thanks! There are definitely associated risks with the sport but you can easily manage it if you are responsible :)
