Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

That's awesome! I've only scuba dived once that wasn't in a pool, and I was barely a teenager, but I have a friend who got certified and has dived all over the world. He loves it, and it sounds like a lot of fun!

    Where did you go? It’s definitely worth trying again if you have interest. I never really cared to get certified in the past but it has been absolutely amazing!

    I've had a opportunity for a couple of dives in a pool, but the one time I did it outside a pool was in Vanuatu when I was on a school trip as a teenager.

    My friend did it while on his OE, went diving all around UK and western Europe. Now he lives in SE Asia and has done a bunch of stuff there too. Loves it!

    He has no kids, so can do that sort of thing. I haven't even left the country since my first kid was born!
