Tech diving is a hard and expensive sport. It can be very dangerous for careless, wreckless or inexperienced diver. I often get into the water with well over 250 lbs of gear on my back. The price for 25 minutes of bottom time can ofter exceed $150. It takes years to develop the kinesthetic senses to be able to dive safely at this level. Your body sometimes takes a beating from decompression. You hearing goes bad. The dives in the Puget Sound and Lake Washington are really cold, dark, dirty and silty.
Today a friend of mine saw a video of the PB4Y which sits 150ft at the bottom of Lake Washington. She noticed how nasty the conditions were and she asked me what the attraction to this kind of diving was. I told her that when my buddies and I get out of the water we are usually laughing like goons.

One day after a dive a feeling came over me. This feeling was a longing to go back in the water. This longing keeps coming back, sometimes at the most inconvenient times. I know there are others just like me. This is for all of you.
About Me
To find everything profound - that is an inconvenient trait. It makes one strain one's eyes all the time, and in the end one finds more than one might have wished.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
