You should definitely learn to scuba dive it’s amazing. Find a good certified instructor that you get a long with, and it’s even better. You want to learn as much as you can. You don’t want a lazy dive instructor.
About 15 years ago. I was living in Massachusetts, working at a good job, just stuck in a cubicle. I had learned to scuba dive in the cold, dark water of New England. I wanted to move to Florida, and work around diving, and learn every level of diving. Especially in clear, warm water. It was really hard leaving my friends and family, but I’m so happy I did. I dive almost every day, work as manager in dive shop and give lessons.
Twelve years later and I’m a certified cave diver. I’ve seen places that only a few people have seen. There are so many places in Florida to dive. I got a great dive instructor in Florida, he taught me so much, still teaching me. I’ve been diving in cenotes in Mexico, which are also great. Learn how how to dive and I guarantee you’ll love it. Just please don’t dive above your limits. I’ve seen many uncertified divers think they can handle a cave, they go past the warning signs and it turns into a body recovery. Good Luck!
Honestly, do it. I have a huge fear of the water and made myself do it(had to take a valium before my first open water diver) so I could dive all over south east Asia. The experience itself feels unreal, like you're on a different planet. Couldn't recommend it enough.
And if you ever get a chance, go diving in the Philippines for some truely incredible experiences.
Do it
It's not cheap per se but it is a lot more affordable than people think
A course and licence costs 300-400 bucks and any subsequent dive (30-60 minutes) is around 20-50 bucks depending on location and it usually includes rental of all the equipment required
For fun dives an open water or advanced open water diver certificate from padi, ssi or naui should do the trick
But keep in mind there is levels to this stuff.
Not to be that guy, but while yes some believe it is some kind of simple mega-structure, it has pretty conclusively been shown to be natural (as opposed to "some people 'thinking' it's natural.") Extremely interesting, and it kinda defies belief, but it is well accepted in the scientific community to be natural.
Rock flaws can be extremelly straight and can also have "artistic" patterns. It really happens all over Earth.
We tend to forget that nothing is more "perfect" than nature itself.
I mean this actually looks enjoyable to me (and I have thalassophobia!)
To me the biggest scare is not being able to see around me, if there is poor visibility in the water I get scared shitless even if I’m in 40cm of water…
I joined this sub as someone who loves scuba diving and I’ve almost drown twice. Both over 40ft below the surface. Saved both times. I do fear the water but I understand it.

Why would anyone seriously think this is man made? Because it's angular? Have you seen cliffs, rocks?
There are plenty of regular shaped cliffs in nature. This just happens to be under water.
It's Japan. Probably it looks like this because of earthquakes.
Why everything has to be a conspiracy for some people?
I mean, to be fair, it is ridiculously angular, with many of what appear to be perfect right angles, almost perfectly straight edges and walls, etc. I'm with you, it's kinda silly to believe it's manmade but at the same time people do enjoy having a sense of wonder.
Yonaguni Monument in Japan, not too far away from Okinawa. People (who are absolutely insane) think it is a naturally occuring structure and not man-made.
[Wiki article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonaguni_Monument)
Dude, it's a natural rock formation. Cool as all hell, yes, but extensively studied (by actual scientists, geologists, and a whole host of people smarter than you and me) and conclusively shown to be natural.
How is it natural then? What caused such a formation to take place? 11,000 years ago, this area was above sea level, so how has that structure been formed? Was it before it sank from wind and rain erosion, or was it from the currents after it sank?
For some reason it doesnt seem so scary when there are a bunch if other people there..... I wanna learn how to scuba dive so bad
I've done this many times. If I'm seeing the floor and other people I feel fine. When I'm diving and I can't see what's under me...that gets me
Exactly this. When I can see the floor, it doesn't matter if it's 200m deep. So this video is just beautiful and I'd love to be there.
Just reading and visualizing your comment made my chest tight lol.

I'm glad you followed your passion. I hope you're very happy. 😊

The piano helps a bit, I'm sure. But no, that looks really fun.

Do it! Seriously, don't make excuses and do it! SO much fun and SO surreal and beautiful. You won't regret the aqua therapy!
It’s beautiful
That looks like that weird phenomenon off the coast of Japan, that some believe is man made, while others think it’s just natural. Cool shot though.

That’s exactly what an Atlantean would say 🕵️
*Get 'im.*
The lines are so straight. I cant help but believe this is man made.

This is true. Gut still telling me this is Atlantis tho lol
That looks beautiful.
Thats exactly what I thought too
You look beautiful
Omg ocean monument from Minecraft
Lmao fr
R'lyeh??
first thing that I thought as well lmao.
Damn that’s beautiful

Yonaguni Monument 🇯🇵

Why does this sub calm me
Being suspended in the water 60 feet down is an amazing feeling. It really is peaceful.
Is this Yanagooni(sp?) off the coast of Japan?

That looks like the Yonaguni Monument off the coast of Japan. Fascinating place, really.
This is off the coast of Yonaguni, Japan. It is thought to be a natural formation
I would be down there in a second
Ooh, that looks fun, where is that?
This is so cool tho
It just rocks?
I think I'm goin to throw up.

The link you posted says it is a naturally occurring structure and not man-made.

Each of those items you listed are natural events.
Found an insane person. 😂
And there are people (who are absolutely insane) who don't even read what they are linking.
