Oh definitely not. That kinda thing scares me! I will go into the sea and mess around, but i can't swim properly (a very laboured doggy paddle) and don't like going under!

I really enjoy SCUBA, my wife and youngest go as well. The calm and sense of flying are amazing.
I'm night dive certified. My second night dive i had a sea zip by me like a fighter jet.
I've had some heart issues and haven't been able to for a while. I'm wanting to go again. Especially in Florida, the gulf is like bath water and you don't need wet suits.

I have never scuba dived, but I used to go snorkeling in the Gulf when I lived in Florida. As Kellie said, the water is very warm. In the panhandle, the Gulf beaches have white sand, and the water is clear, making for very nice underwater viewing.
I unknowingly swam into the tentacles of a dead Portuguese Man-of-War and got stung across my chest, back, and legs. My brother was fishing on the shore, laughing at me. He said it looked like I was running on the surface of the water, trying to get out of there!
