Cool, good to know. :)
SCUBA is something I'd always wanted to try, but unfortunately I
perforated my eardrum when I was 14 (diving accident - off the board and
slapped the side of my head on the water - I was able to whistle through
my ear afterwards, but then the pain it...Oh, the pain was *awful*), and
never went any further with it. I'd done snorkeling a few times and
enjoyed that quite a lot.
