I started scuba diving about 2 years back, have been riding a bike for about a month after 9 years of not riding, did ride a lot when I was younger.

Basically what I'm thinking is that scuba diving and bike riding is a lot alike.

In both you do some thing on your own, but with people (diving has you immersed in your own experience but with your dive partner, and biking is the same either with your pillion or with some-one riding their own bike with you).

Both can be dangerous, but there is a lot of safety equipment, and procedures involved that keeps you safe.

In both cases the more you do it the better it gets.

There is a sense of meditation in both cases.

And obviously nature plays a big role in both diving and adventure riding.


Just want to know if any other divers also feel the similarities?
