Scuba diving while sharing the coral and sharks with my diving friends is a blast!
Honestly, I couldn't imagine doing these activities smartly and safely if I smoked or vaped . . . but that's just me. I've been lost deep underwater at 120', at night, on a steeply sloping coral shelf and if I didn't have a clear head it might have been a disaster!
Plenty of smokers and vapers dive and live to tell about it, though! I just find that as I get older, being in control means more not only to me, but my family.
* The shipwreck at the very top of the page is the Keith Tibbetts, a 330' long Russian frigate, and is at about 100 feet depth and relatively close to shore in Cayman Brac; it's an easy wreck to dive. I lived in Grand Cayman for a few years (after leaving my shrink practice in 1987 and taught scuba diving. Paradise found. Other divers will note that I use very old-fashioned fins! That's because of uber-comfort.
