Excercise? Fitness? For Diving?? Hah!

[diversmarts]

Kidding me??

I don't what it is.......but I've been diving all over the world, and here is my basic physical description of your average scuba diver.....many of you should agree, whether you admit to or not:

1) Overweight
2) Chain smokers
3) Lushes
4) Lackluster diet
5) Poor dressers


If such a thing as fitness is standard protocol for most divers, you got me fooled!

I wouldn't disagree. However, your survey probably looks at a select sample. Most technical divers, and especially DIR folks maintain a regimen of fitness necessitated by the harder-core type of diving they do. I don't know about dressing, but from 1,2,3,4...how can you be anything but s slob-meister?

Some techs, yeah. But I dive with some of those folks, and they fall into that overweight smoking class as well.

Just a simple observation. Interesting.

You just need to dive with more SB'ers

LOL

My fitness has nothing to do with diving (6'1" - 195lbs)

It does have alot to do with: Skiing (the snow kind!), Squash, Blading, Riding sportbikes (see profile), lifting and mountainbiking.

I don't think alot of people out there exercise because of diving.

Can't be out of shape and do this all day:

I'm with Jeckyll. Not that I've got much diving under my belt. Maybe I'm not a diver since I'm not 1) overweight, 2) a chain smoker (don't smoke at all), 3) a lush (not even much of a social drinker), 4) have a lackluster diet (though I love sweets). The poor dresser part I'll leave for others to decide. I don't get out much. And when I do work, I have a uniform

I've seen all types of divers. Haven't noticed the pattern except for the drinking part.
