What would you be doing if there was no such thing as diving?

 I recently got back into diving after a 30 year break. Prior to diving, I did long distance motorcycle desert racing as my main hobby. However due to injuries sustained from 30 years of racing motorcycles, I had to retire from racing. It was my wifes Idea to get back into diving after my racing days were done, I knew there was a reason why I married her! LOL! Anyway, I just got to thinking that this would be a good interesting question to ask you guys. What would you be doing, if you wern’t diving?

Noooo Ddddiiivving? Ohhhhhh Nooooo...!!!!!


Good Question. I quess that if SCUBA had not been invented, I’d be Hard Hat diving. And if Hard Hat diving had not been invented, I’d be doing a lot more Free Diving than I do now.

I’d be backpacking sections of the AT (Appalachian Trail). It’s something I’ve already been working on...

I’d be clinging to the side of a vertical wall. I started climbing at the same time aI started diving. And once I did my first climb on real rock I never went back to the gym....... Just like when diving, When your doing it nothing else exists.

Well.. I wouldn’t have a job... I currently manage a dive shop in Missouri and I love it. I love the new friends that I have made due to the diving industry. Hobby wise... I would be burried into my studies and my oil painting... definitely. I took up sku diving a while back and then diving and... well the water diving stuck and here I am.

as like you, I just got back into diving after 30 yrs, I’d probably be on top of the water doing some serious fishing

Same things I was doing before I started diving and continue to do along with diving. Hiking, biking, camping, running marathons, fishing, hunting, boating, birdwatching (very similar to diving by the way just without all of the equipment), collecting vintage musical instruments, talking to my wife, playing with my dog, acting as Butler to our three cats. Paying for my daughter’s college. Last but not least, my greatest weakness, going to antique stores and Garage Sales in search of those elusive vintage musical instruments.
