    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 12:39:24
    Years ago, I was in a friend's outdoor pool. He loaned me his scuba gear so I could give
    diving a try. I think I flunked. Even though I was in a shallow pool, my breathing was so
    rapid that I would have run out of air if I tried it for real in the ocean.

    I guess I was so nervous that I was using up too much oxygen. Oh well. There are other
    things I can do for sport.

    Never do this alone .. you need an experienced diver who will tell you the ins and outs ..
