It's actually quite a geeky activity. Although being unfit makes decompression sickness more likely, it's not an activity that requires much in the way of physical prowess. There's maths in those dive tables, or if you prefer gadgets there's dive computers. Not that there's not plenty of gadgetry involved in the breathing apparatus side of things.
Then you have such fun things like Open Source dive computers, deco planning software such as V-planner and some maths & physics involved in gas mix calculations, partial pressures and surface-air-consumption rates.
The technology side of diving is amazing. OLED touch-screen computers, integrated HUD masks, wireless gauges, closed-circuit rebreathers, underwater electric vehicles and all sorts of cool gadgetry. If you still want more, there's also underwater photography and video gear.
It's really an ideal sport for geeks. There's not much physical activity needed, a massive amount of shiny tech toys to play with and you don't need to bother with pointless small-talk underwater.
