I seldom dive with buddies and I clown it all the way down! and I got over 1000 dives under my belt.
Livin' on the edge, livin' with danger.

When I was living in San Diego, one of the papers out there printed a list of different "sports" and their relative danger/liklyhood of death due to the activity. Near the very top was sky diving. Just a little lower than that was driving on highway 15 (and yes, this is a sport to some).
Near the bottom, just above bowling, was recreational SCUBA.
I would rank SCUBA a lot higher than bowling. It's two-fold, the potential for danger is VERY great and less forgiving results in many instances. BUT, when educated properly and a fairly strict adherence to the safety guidelines and good diving practices, you can severely lessen the probability of experiencing the dangerous consequences to a point where it seems like a walk in the park sport.
OW! Snapped my bowling wrists!
