SCUBA diving is fun. Uncomfortable, but fun. To be honest, the things that turned me off about it were: the claustrophobia when diving in less-than-clear lake water; being so freaking cold the whole time that my fingers would go numb. Also, trying to haul my neoprene wetsuit over my damp and/or sweaty hips.
I got to dive in Hawaii and Mexico, and saw a reef shark (2' long) only once. The rest of the time, it was me looking at coral, and feeding CheezWhiz to grouper (they love CheezWhiz in the can, don't ask me why).
I loved that diving felt like flying. You just floated along, without having to worry (much) about breathing; just a check of the gauges every few minutes or so.
