my wife and i like to go scuba diving.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving where the diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater. Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, allowing them greater independence and freedom of movement than surface-supplied divers, and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold divers. Open circuit scuba systems discharge the breathing gas into the environment as it is exhaled, and consist of one or more diving cylinders containing breathing gas at high pressure which is supplied to the diver through a regulator. They may include additional cylinders for decompression gas or emergency breathing gas. Closed-circuit or semi-closed circuit rebreather scuba systems allow recycling of exhaled gases. The volume of gas used is reduced compared to that of open circuit, so a smaller cylinder or cylinders may be used for an equivalent dive duration. Rebreathers extend the time spent underwater compared to open circuit for the same gas consumption, they produce fewer bubbles and less noise than scuba which makes them attractive to covert military divers to avoid detection, scientific divers to avoid disturbing marine animals, and media divers to avoid bubble interference.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I am going on vacation next year and have been looking into scuba diving.  Found out that its underwater diving that uses a breathing apparatus to breathe underwater.  Not too sure if I want to or not."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I think scuba diving is so fun! It is a magical experience."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Oh good, so you know more about it than me.  I know that you carry your own compressed air breathing gas to have free movement in the water but I'm worried about getting anxious under the water."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I got pretty anxious when I went. I felt like I was suffocating every time I went under, but after attempting it numerous times, I was able to calm down and go."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I am looking into take multiple classes until I feel better about it but nothing matches the point where you have a shark swim by and you hyperventilate. ha ha. They also offer surface-supplied diving with the breathing gas on the boat but that doesn't seem much better or maybe worse.

"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I would be like that too. Of course when I read a pamphlet for diving safety and it said \"the underwater environment can possibly bring about severe physical and psychological stress on a diver and is mostly beyond their control\"...it didn't help me feel any better. ha ha.  Guess they have to have a disclaimer for a crazy fish or something. "}, {"role": "user", "content": "Oh wow I do not think I ever read anything like that."}]
