I have a question for all the divers here. Opinions and feedback appreciated.
So the other day I go out on a boat for a 2 dive day with about 20 other divers. The 1st dive was to a location with some statues, some pillars with growth, some burried ship pieces, etc. Dive site was in about 45 foot of water and water temp was about 88 degrees
(Key Biscayne, FL). Dive went perfect and we stayed about an hour underwater. No problems.
Had about an hour surface interval while we went to our 2nd location.
This site was a regular shallow water scenic area. What I mean by that is: no underwater "things" to look at (placed by man or nature), no reefs, no underwater wreckage, no statues or boats or signs, etc, just FISH lol. Now I know fish are cool and all it's really exciting to see them all swimming around and what not, but it after about 20 minutes I became very bored with it all. We were in about 25 feet of water and stayed for a total of about 45 minutes.
During the dive I stayed alert and focused and performed technically sound. I did not get careless amd loose concentration or any of that. But I became very bored and everything seemed really redundant. It was very vanilla and very blah. It seemed like a warm up or something lol. I finished the dive with my buddies and everyone had a good time, myself included. It was a great diving day and we had fun. It just got boring that's all.
Has this happened to anyone else before?
Am I losing it here lol.
Thanks everyone
