We would like to enrol to a scuba-diving course next year. For this year, however, we have just decided we'd like to go to the woods and pick some mushrooms ! It may seem a VERY easy and 'soft' option compared to scuba-diving. However, have a good look at any book on edible mushrooms and you will see that for each edible mushroom there are at least three very poisonous lookalikes. I would then say wild mushroom picking (and eating them) is riskier than scuba-diving.

El anio que viene nos gustaria matricularnos en un curso de submarinismo . Para este anio, de momento, lo unico que hemos decidido es que iremos al bosque a buscar setas ! Lo de las setas parece una opcion bien facil y sin riesgos, comparada con el submarinismo. Pues no. Echad una ojeada a cualquier libro donde se de una clasificacion de setas comestibles. Bien pronto vereis que, por cada seta comestible, hay por lo menos dos muy similares pero venenosas. Por eso digo que buscar setas en el bosque (y comerlas, por supuesto) es un deporte de alto riesgo, mucho mas que el submarinismo.
