I love nature and the water. As such I do a lot of hiking and backpacking as well as just basic camping, and a lot of swimming and SCUBA. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite between backpacking and SCUBA because I love them both so much but they are both in completely different domains.

I am sad right now because I perforated my ear drum diving and can't actually dive for the next month. What actually make me so sad about it is that it cost me a great job opportunity to work in Florida for the rest of summer at a scout camp as a Divemaster. But then it would also be a job and not a hobby so I don't think it would count for the question

How much would one expect to pay for a decent set of SCUBA gear?

I have always dreamt of going on a big hike, that would be awesome and you're doing that right now. You're that person people can't reach because you're either below the surface or in the woods. When a hobby becomes your job you're doing something right!

I keep bees, and garden...for the bees.

Kinda like a hotel for the bees? Sounds like a neat hobby.

Kind of - you can purchase premade beehives and packages of bees to get started. It's an off hands hobby compared to most (I spend about an hour a week tending to them). Bees are becoming ever-threatened with the increase in pesticides and invasive varroa mite, so by keeping bees you're not only "gettin honey", but also helping positively impact the worldwide environment.

That's an unusual hobby! What's your favourite die and why? What's your dream (holy grail) die?

There's a really fantastic set of carbon fiber dice that I've been eyeing, but they're like $570. As for my favorite dice, it would probably have to be my Chessex Nebulas. They look clear at first, but hold them up to the light, and the light catches the dye in them... Fantastic.

I'm an amateur chemist! I bought some rare earth metals, hopefully I can grow some nice holmium acetate crystals (which change color in different lighting).

That's so interesting! I collect minerals, and I have one called Labradorite which sounds similar to what you're describing.

I just bought heliodors, tourmalines, and synthetic moissanite at the county fair.

If I can make some water-insoluble crystals I just might do that.

I absolutely understand. I love to hike and backpack and did a lot of it in scouting but now in college I just don't have the same kind of time. Me and friends have tried to plan trips before and sometimes they work out, sometimes not. Right now the only easily accessible trail that we could go and do are all in the valley and it it is just to hot (the Phoenix metro area).

What kind of hiking did you do? hard/easy/long/short/with family/by yourself/in the jungle the mighty jungle/just outside the city/where at?
