    How to Engage Younger People in Diving?

    Well put once again Rich. I know in East Texas there are people that have not left the state, something like a cruise lowers the barrier to more people. Debate that impact how you will, I would not rather build an exclusive club. A cruise is one way to take the family, provide entertainment...

    How to Engage Younger People in Diving?

    Would it be wrong to say we are not going to solve all of society’s faults at this time? Keyboard bashing and chest pumping do not have a place here. To me one of the draws of the sport was a change in perspective that it is not a competition; rather a collective experience and shared interest...

    Merry Christmas from Texas! :)

    Howdy y'all, As a fellow newbie that recently drank the kool-aid I will welcome you to the club. I have been reading and reading this site and the stories others have told to absorb as much as possible. The community is much different than other hobbies, more open and willing to share...
