I started off reading about Beebe and watching Cousteau and Sea Hunt. Argosy and True Magazine had all these stories about treasure being found on the galleons off of Florida's coast. I wanted to go explore the oceans. I ran away from home the summer I was 14, just to be near the ocean. I was disappointed by the snorkeling off of OC Md, compared to what I'd seen on TV.
I'm in the 60-69 group. When I got out of the Air Force at 22, I got certified and used my GI Bill to go to a marine tech program in Miami, that made my diving free. I later got a job with the Univ of Miami that actually paid me to dive. I've been diving almost 40 years and enjoy every dive. I'm still looking for that galleon, straight lines and round rock, straight lines and round rocks.
