has anyone had a trip deep sea diving??

[zezt]

HI

I have been wondering what it would be like to take a trip and go under the sea. How would it see/feel? the flowing ness, of the fauna, the sea creatures. the light coming down from the surface.....etc etc

Has anyone had this experience, or do you know of any articles, etc, friends . What I am looking for is a really deep report about it...caus i am curious 8)

I think one could really go mental in a submarine used to go to those depths.
Diving with gear (ofcourse you can't do that deep sea) would be too dangerous with the gear you need to pay attention too.
And if you're in a sub, you'd need a sitter with knowledge on how to operate it.
Renting a submarine is really really expensive and the company renting it too you also provides the stearsman and I doubt they will let you take psychedelics.

BUT, I do find the idea fascinating

it's a whole different world i can tell ya. i made open water diving license so i can dive to up (or down) to 20 metres in the sea. it is so amazingly beautiful, if i had a lung like a fish i would stay down there for days ... well of course it depends of course where you go, but if you go to a tropical area you're most likely to see corals or/and fish of many colors... it feels also completely different, because like the atmosphere is more dense in the water obviously, so it's kind of fascinating seeing fish and all the life that is there in their element.

oh i just saw the reply from space ... you mean go under the water with psychoactives??? that would be sick the worst fear would be possibly claustrophobia if you trip hard and then what you do??? but it would be awesome i guess, because not only your ego is under threat, but your life as well, as you maybe go swimming below tons of water ...

peace

I`ve tried muff diving.......

I'll be doing a field trip next month involving snorkelling in the bahamas... not gonna trip... lotsa things can go wrong in water without being on psychedelics.

Would be great trip I think, but the risks are a bit extreme, and would affect other people as well as yourself in most cases - a lot of paper work when they eventually drag your corpse out of the water.

ive taken mushrooms acid and e (different times) and gone freediving. it can be pretty freeky. for one you forget that you cant breath the water. visually its stunning, floating in fluorescent green water, the light taking on an alien world quality and interference patterns of light move like living patterns....i could go on all day. but it is dangerous. i have tripped while scuba diving but not on drugs. nitrogen is fat soluble and at depth can cause an effect called nitrogen narcosis. its very much like nitrous oxide in effect and totaly debillitating. everyone experiences it at different depths, and with me its about 35meters. normaly your buddy notices yove gone and will get you up a couple of meters -all thats needed- and you recover. you soon get tolerant with experience.

muff diving is even stranger when triping. you can get lost in the bush
some other things ive remembered about freediving while tripping ( and e),, when youve been in the water a while you no longer feel it on your skin. not numbness but you know what its like tripping and you pick something up and you cant tell if its hard or soft(no jokes god, please) so you feel like your floating in thick air. also you think of sharks where you normaly wouldnt much. changing the subject somewhat, the first trippy visuals i saw were caused by biolumenescent plankton while diving at night. any movement in the water causes these plankton and planktors to flash. mainly blue, some green, and each flash tails off over about a second. the result is anyone in the water has a halo, like a kirlian photograph. moving your hand through the water produces trails brighter than those produced bu acid and longer lasting. we had seals playing about us, not hunting but messing around tugging our fins. i nearly shit my drysuit at first because a glowing torpedo shape moving at 25knots has that effect on you. forget the drugs, get into the water at night june-october

oh douglas I envy you... being in the ocean is something I've always wanted to do.. and to do it tripping! it has to be IMPRESSIVE. Just imagine if some psychonut was diving in the ocean after taking 3 blotters and some BIG ASS whale came by!!!!!!

definitely an obligatory sitter setting.

 

[druglessdouglas]

theres nothing stopping you going in the ocean is there? it doesnt cost much to buy mask, fins and a snorkel. its the trippiest experience you can have without druggery. its as close to going to space as most of us will ever experience.

Yes, I'll do it when I have the means

snorkeling is so amazing... i even like it a bit more than real diving, because you don't have so much stuff on you and you don't have to care about much...

in egypt the reefs are so beautiful! i loved going down to 10 metres or more without oxygen on the back ....

the hard thing is as you go down, the pressure on your lugns increases and therefore the amount(density) of air in your lungs.... also forgetting to equal the pressure in your head can be painful, also when you have an infection or an injury in the ear....

but as soon as you can handle your energy without so much oxygen and save it in your lungs and still have a clear head after equaling pressure a few times with low oxygen then it's really fun.
i want to emphasize that it is really important to keep a clear head and to watch that. because you don't want to get unconscious under water alone.

but that's good for experiencing survival instinct.

i say underwater is one of the main life regions on earth therefore it is a real interesting world to explore.

the average depth in the oceans is 4000 metres and the most represented living beings on earth live in oceans in depths like these: sea cuccumbers and starfish. sea cuccumbers can disassemble themselves into gelatine when under threat and afterwards put themselves together again. starfish can vomit out there organs and later form new ones in their bodies.

learned that in the theory part of the diving course.

before i had thought the biggest colony of living beings might be insects... but well hmm who knows really ?? it's just guessings...
i also don't reccommend again taking drugs before diving... even smoking isn't good... also because the metabolisms with oxygen and other stuff are different under the pressure of the water so you could have some problems with psychadelics... but well snorkeling could be alright it might be relaxed to snorkel while baked... just let the gentle flow of the waves take you and observe what's below you.... but if you are in the caribics better go with t-shirt or good suncream!!! i speak from experience!!!

peace. :weedman:

BRAINEATER- your really lucky, ive only ever dived in the cold-ish waters off scotland. we have corals here but nothing like the red sea or warm med. the west coast of scotland is rich with life though. the north sea is murky, cold and relatively lifeless though has a few interesting wrecks- there are even two tanks near Findhorn, mentioned in another thread. the gulf stream warms the west coast and we get summer visitors like leatherback turtles, ocean sunfish and even great white sharks.
your right about the dangers of diving, ive almost died twice. i bought my cylinders from a man who got the bends because he had the flu and his metabolisim was altered enough to make the dive (decompression) tables irrelevant- his metabolisim was slowed so gas left his system at a reduced rate.
BUT you can snorkel/free dive on psychadelics of you only remember not to breathe the water. freediving requires a level of relaxation near to deep meditation. when i was 15 i could snorkel to 30m! no shit. now i smoke drink etc i can only get down to 20m and cant stay there but i enjoy trying. you really have to shut down the brain as thinking uses all your O2. you have to achieve ego loss. then you only take information in. its hard to describe. after a trip to 20m my face looks like this

thi is an anemone called Pachycerianthis(i think) my diving instructor took this photo in Loch Duich at around 20m. this was the night dive where i first experienced trippy bioluminescence. this enemone is over 60cm accross!
