Can you dive?

Yeah, lots of fun! Except I never get to do it, since my pool's only 5.5' deep. I learned as a kid, by standing on the diving board, bending over slightly, then falling in while keeping my body rigid. I eventually got the hang of it and stopped looking like a dweeb.
 
Can't and never could. I was always afraid of the high dive boards. To this day, I don't see how those kids dive off of those 10 meter platforms in competition. Amazing to me.

I don't know.... I could, in about 1976, but I haven't tried since then. I'm always afraid of misjudging the distance - which is not so unreasonable when you have worse than 20/200 vison without glasses!

Do what I did and get LASIK. Best thing I ever did.

An interesting bit of trivia: I got mine done at TLC immediately before Tiger Woods, in 1999.
