Went surfing at Tofino in January this year, on a gloriously sunny winters day.
A 4mm wetsuit, boots and gloves didn't prevent excessive body-part shrinkage It's not encouraged me to explore the local Pacific depths.

We both have our open water padi, just got into it last year when we had a couple of trips to the red sea, not even done our dry suit course (no need to there).

Not been able to do any since (although we joined a dive club) because of doing house up, so we are both novices & wouldn't want to dive anywhere without someone a lot more experienced along.

I read that there is a flooded village somewhere near banff which is a popular dive site.

Anyone else got ideas on this subject?

Got PADI open water off Venezuela about 20 years ago... let it lapse and have mostly snorkelled since. Prefer tropical waters and having seen the scuba crew suiting up to dive near Horseshoe Bay in summer... I think I'll stick to the warm stuff.

I suspect they spawn but who cares about procreation? Look at this pic (this might be mer-porn), does it look pleasurable?:

Well she doesn't seem to want to know, if they are having a form of sex his procreation bit must be on his arm somewhere and hers on her shoulder, they're the only bits touching.
It looks a bit like the sign for Pisces.

But I'm Pisces As is Souvenir I think.

I've just checked my arm and other than a dent where I fell down when I was 11 there is nothing that would suggest a protrusion that would pass as a sexual organ.
Actually a dent doesn't even come close.

I'm going diving in Cuba this November. I am taking some of my own equipment though...

Not far away - Roques... but I also was taken to that dodgy wreck near Margarita which was very scary, especially as it was only my second below 30metre dive and there was only a single dive buddy. One of my favourite dives so far was in the Mexican Gulf - Cozumel. More experienced divers said that along with the Caymans it was the best they'd done too.

Steve... I just took a closer look at the pic... down by their flipper-legs... if you follow all the legs and whatnot... I think there's a bit leftover! Or am I just really pathetic?

I believe there is an old town at the bottom of lake Minnewanka, apparently there is an outhouse down there, and the divers take pics of each other sitting on the biffy. I guess they dont need to flush!

My OH dives. Once in Florida a few years back he done a dive in a place called diver's den, he picked up a T shirt there and on it says 'I hope I run outta courage before I run outta air' that just about sums it up for me.

He also went ice diving one year, now that was

Ah yes! I see that now. I didn't study the lines, and me an artist...Ha!
That looks very suspiciously like a protrusion, just about where her ankle is, I guess she wasn't aware that there was a hole in that location of her fishy body.
There's a whole theory of merpeople evolution to be going on in my head this nighttime.
My bed seems much more...interesting now.
