recumbents and freediving

Have you seen the IMAX film called Ocean Men? It's fantastic! I scuba dive a lot, but free diving
isn't for me. I want to spend more than 2-3 minutes underwater.

This summer I got my first recumbent and also started snorkeling and freediving. I've learned a
lot online, but my new hobbies share the same terms. I'll often read something like this:

"You probably won't get bent, but you might die from an SWB."

and an hour later I'll read this:

"I finally got bent with an SWB, and I love it!"

Cheers, Tom

No, but I saw the "Coral Reefs" IMAX film and since I live near a lake, thought I had to get under
water. I strap my bag of snorkel gear to my chest with a bungy cord, lay back on the recumbent, and
bike around trying out various locations.

You won't find much coral reef in fresh water lakes. However, if you live near the great lakes,
especially Lake Erie, you should be able to see some zebra mussel infestations.

I was scuba certified in Grand Cayman, and dove several ship wrecks while there. After I came back
to Indiana, I went diving in the Great Lakes near Tobermory Canada. Although the above water
toography is quite beautiful, beneath the waves is rather mundane and very cold. A ship wreck merely
looks like a bunch of telephone poles laying on the sand, with a bit of slime growing on it, and a
smattering of the forementioned Zebra Mussels.

If you do live near water, you could try a recumbent pontoon boat

I wanted one of those BADLY about 10 years ago, if I lived on or near a lake, that is what I'd be
doing for my exercise! Yamaha of all people made a real cool one back then. It was about 1600.00?
and was very fast. Didn't cavitate like the paddle boats do. Been trying to convince my bro in law
and sister (who live on a lake) to get one. Gonna send em this link.
