SCUBA: because breathing above water isn’t good enough.

NOTE: This is a series where I make myself do stuff in the name of community, friendship, and connection. “Loneliness is a silent killer” and all that.

SCUBA stands for Silly Cuz U Breathe Air.

PRO: Quiet group activity with more hand signals than chitchat.

CON: Not breathing will kill you.

I have an odd assortment of gifted gear from when I almost took this class a few years ago: the world’s largest dive computer watch, a wet/dry bag, some booties, a balaclava mask and a lightweight full body-onesie thing.

The class is January 24th. Assuming I can pass the test and make myself flood a perfectly good mask, I’ll spend the 25th and 26th playing charades while breathing underwater.
