Pure Adrenaline

Scuba diving the open ocean at night is a rush. The first minute or two after jumping off the boat is intense. Not sure if it beats free fall....never jumped from a plane.

I have mentioned this before, but you want an adrenaline rush have a six foot plus Bull shark pulling on your stringer of trout while wade fishing the surf. I may have walked on water. Lol

^^^^ been there done that..... Not gonna do it again.

If you have the slightest hint of cloister phobia a night dive will bring it out of ya' . Originally Posted by lookn4boobies

That's animated. Originally Posted by GlobeSpotter

If you think about the design process obviously they are modeling it in a program from an engineering perspective of checking for stresses and safety and all that. The same program could probably whip out a basic version of this, then you could pretty it up and get investors interested with it, put it out for publicity, whatever really.

Looks pretty awesome if they get it done. People are talking like it's a really scary thing, I have enough faith that the park doesn't want to get sued that they would be cautious enough I wouldn't see it as that big of a danger, I'd ride it and get an adrenaline from the excitement more than the fear.

Yeah, or realizing too late that the fish you just caught bow fishing is bigger than you can handle. LOL

Where's the fucking knife!

Honestly, that hasn't happened to me but it has happened to friends.

I've always fished with a floating net because of sharks.

Wall diving in Grand Cayman is like you describe. Hover about 10 feet over the cliff then swim 20 or 30 feet out and turn around. It's as if you could fly over the Grand Canyon and just hover.

Thanks for the description. Hopefully one day soon I'll knock it off the list.

My only night dive, was in Guam , middle of the Pacific middle of the Mariana's Trench, we were diving a reef about 90 feet the only point of reference was my flash light.. Not so bad at 20 feet. I had a buddy try and talk me into spear fishing at night... I declined
