Steve: Have you ever tried scuba diving, Jen?

Jen: No, I’m kind of scared of the whole diving thing. I mean, I hear all of these stories about the bends, and dangerous fish and coral and stuff. I don’t think it’s for me.

Steve: I guess there are several things that could go wrong underwater, but if you’ve been trained and you follow the rules, there’s really nothing to worry about.

Jen: I don’t know.

Steve: It’s really worth trying, even just once. It’s like a whole other world down there, and it can be an amazing experience.

Jen: That’s what a lot of people tell me, but I think I’d prefer to stick to surfing rather than take my chances in the deep.

S: Well, to be honest, I think you have more of chance meeting with an accident surfing than you do diving.

Jen: It does have its dangers, but as long as you don’t do anything stupid, you should be okay.

Steve: Diving’s the same way. You just have to follow the rules. Say, I’m going next weekend. Why don’t you come along and give it a try? There’s a great shallow pool where you can see all kinds of fish and things. It’s perfect for a novice diver.

Jen: Well, if it’s shallow it can’t be too bad. Why not? Sure, I go with you.

Steve: Great.
