You rarely ever see them. A few weeks ago an online friend of mine didn't come back from a dive. Maybe you read my post? http://indigo-alien.blogspot.com/2007/09/diver-is-lost-at-sea.html As for the hearing thing? Teaching diving is hard on your ears, much more so than just recreational diving. The UK actually has a great club organization known as BSAC (British Sub-Aqua Club) and their old-style training program is, yeah, ok, "brilliant". Whenever anyone from one of those clubs showed up on a boat I was running, they pretty much could do as the pleased. They knew what they were doing. Don’t let the sharks keep you out of the water.

Bummer, 'cause it's something I'd actually like to try. Although that will probably not prevent me from trying. My fear of sharks probably will though. I still go to shows, but in more recent years I have begun to suspect one of the reasons that I like punk so much is that it isn't a particularly nuanced musical genre. I love 3-chords, distortion, fast pace and heavy beats. I guess I just like my music visceral but I do enjoy it very much. Indigo, I’ve heard about that having an effect on you’re hearing.

Tinnitus and hyperacusis, so I don't very often go to concerts anymore. “My hearing is rubbish, which I blame on both spending too many years in an engine room in the navy…”
