Same here! I love boats; sail every week; and play the sims; When I SCUBA ...I am the submarine's engine & navigator. No two ways about it! A one man Nautilas; The mask to see with; the fins to propel with-no battery skooter for me...yet; the tank and regulator for respiration with; lights to see with; depth, nitrogen timer, air guage and compass to calculate time at depth: essentially in a self-contained neoprene mancave with 30 lbs lead ballast 100 feet down (hey at least I'm well insulated) at 32 degrees... only it's pressurized nitrogen not CO2 that's the problem. Like the game, everything, especially at night is ongoing: must be monitored constantly and no errors of judgment are advisable...hypothermia, bends, embolism or nitrogen-narcosis being the primary concerns. Time limit: 25 minutes....
