There I was, thought I was gonna die!
I am sooo beat. Worn out. I’m seriously out of shape, yet there I was again, I thought I was gonna die! The VA SCI put on a scuba diving event at a Milw. YMCA. Beforehand I was more worried about the water being too cold (actually very nice) but found my real anxiety 6’ under water when it hit me I shouldn’t be able to breathe even though I had air. Obviously I lived, but I did have to surface for a bit to lose the jitters. Have not been in a pool in 15 years. Think it will be a long time before I go again. Legs are so useless I can’t even stand with water lifting me up. At least I got out of the house and doing something.

Huck! Scuba diving lessons? Oh my gosh! You have a lot of chutzpah! I have 2 perfectly working legs and I'd be scared shitless to do that. Good for you!
Huck: BE PROUD. I know people that are disabled, and don't do anything, except sit In a chair. Your an inspiration. You know NOTHING about the words give up.
WOW...That's GREAT! Now for sky-diving? LOL Hey, why not!
Sorry I forgot...I'll bet a lot of us will go with you..!!!!! Now that's a LOL!
Wow, Huck, go for it. Swimming is great exercise. I've never scuba dived, either. I had trouble getting myself to breathe just snorkeling.
Count me out for sky diving. I'll attend and watch. But I am not jumping out of an airplane. That would be a great JTI event, though.
I'll stand with you on the ground, orbs and welcome the "suckers" back to earth... yikes!
Good for you! Glad you made it out ok.
I tried snorkeling once.. I just couldn't breathe underwater.
I had a fear of water for a long time, still don't like getting my face wet and really don't like being under water but floating on my back or doggie paddling I do like. Snorkeling - never! you're incredibly brave for not only considering it but actually DOING it!
Dying is not an option, we need you :)
