Today... D is for Dive. I entered Dive in to Search and I found an intriguing place called Dive World, which claims to teach you to dive in SL and RL. Well, that sounds promising, so off I went. Of course, the shopping came first, and I purchased the cheapest option for L150 - cause thats how I roll.
Off home to get changed. Prude.
I was excited to see that my new gear came with a hud and an AO. After chopping off my locks and selecting a nice swimsuit (one must look good, you know), I was ready to go!
Walking in flippers is not as easy as it may seem. Lucky I had the AO.
Swimming with the Hud is certainly an experience, and it works well to teach you to time your dives.
It kept telling me if I was holding my breath and when I had reached the surface. Gee, thanks.
Once I got the hang of it, I was off! (Nice bumshot dont you think? Marnix will be proud)
But I dived to far down, and couldnt get up to the surface to breathe!
Yes, yes, I know!!!!
With the above screen flashing on to my screen, all of a sudden everything went blank and I was told to remove the hud and return to the surface to reset. Apparently, I had died.
I decided not to bother with the hud and went back under water to explore.
Is that shark looking at me?
Lets get away from the food chain and explore this way.
Nice!
After the near-death experience with the shark (and the prior actual-death experience with the hud), I opted for a smaller pool to paddle in.
Opps, perhaps not.
This spot looks like a bit less drama...
Or maybe not.
What a day!
All in all, a pretty good experience, and I highly recommend trying out the Huds/AOs. Take some friends and chill on the beachside. This place has 4 sims, and there are many more places to explore (like a nature walkway and lookouts).
Ciao, and I'll see you on the next letter of the alphabet!
1 peeps had something to say:
OO that looks like fun. I think I've deep sea dived in SL before w/o equipment LOL.
Cute bathing suit btw :)
