Hello All !

I am about 90 days into to my diving life. I am a middle aged father of 2 beautiful girls who finially got tired of hearing me taking about wanting to learning Scuba Diving and this past Father's Day got me a gift certificate to my local dive shop. What followed was amazing. I regisitered for my OW class with my oldest daughter, so not only was a new world opening to me but I had my daughter to share it with - doesn't get much better !!

We past our OW and I wondered why I waited so long to learn this wonderful sport and open up a completely different world and my view of it. I have quickly got a Peak Performance Speciality, a Dry Suit Speciality and completed my Advanced Open Water Certficication.

I also have planned a liveaboard trip with all my new dive buddies in Jan can't wait.

If you get interested in Cave Diving and want to see the other side of the Dark Side let me know. I found that diving both open water and caves offers the best of two worlds.
