I can see how the difficult work aspect of commercial diving can
take some of the joy out of being underwater. Did you ever do much
recreational diving?

I hope you get back into the sport of it. Particularly in a plaec
where the water is clear and warm and filled with amazing things to
see. You too. If you go diving this summer, have a safe and fun time!

Michael


Thanks. I had ten years of heart problems ending with a five way
bypass and aortic valve replacement June 20, 2002. If I go diving,
it will be on a limited basis in protected water where I can just
putz around and look at things in shallow water. I get the urge now
and again, just haven't done it. Might even rent one of those
minisub things.

I wouldn't do that Steve.
Even 'putzing' around entails lots of stress on the old bod.
I have seen folks washed out of diving for lots less problems than you have.
I would suggest just snorkling but I know (from bitter experience) that once
you have tasted the freedom and the rush from that tank on your back you can
never settle for that.
