“I don’t want to take a diving class. The idea of getting stuck in a cave…” – several people talking to me about scuba diving
When scuba diving pops up in the media and public discourse, it tends to be all sharks and caves and horror stories. As a result, the average person gets a rather skewed picture of what an average diver does on an average dive.
To offer a frame of reference, I wrote an explainer piece in Alert Diver.
