Anyone here into scuba diving?
I'm thinkin about taking a class, its like $550 2 weekends, 1st bookwork, 2nd Open water.
You get fins, mask and pretty much everythin but the tanks are yours, then you rent the tanks.
There is a place Right by where I ride at St. Joe State Park, called Bonne Terre Mines, like 10 minutes from St. Joe, and the mines got flooded a long time ago, and all the equiptment is still down there under like 300 feet of water, cuz the whole area of Bonne Terre and even St. Joe under all of that ground is a Lake, like under 3 towns or more.
So I'd love to go swim down there and check it all out, the flooded mine, my friends dad does it and sais its cold but I've swam in like 20 degree water on a float trip, it sleeted twice that day, and It wasn't frozen cuz it was a river, that means it is constanly moving.
So anyone into it, got pictures, advice or stories?
