I'm a Fish!
Took my 13 year old son Connor for his first boat dive yesterday, a day I have dreamed about since I bought him his first snorkelling set! It was thrilling to see the excitement in his eyes as we dressed in for that first trip down the line. I watched ( there is NO better buddy than a parent is to their child! ) with a mixture of pride & nostalgia as he gazed in wonder at the scenes unfolding before him, as he deftly managed his bouyancy, checked his gauges regulalry & checked on his buddy ( ME! ) to be sure I was o.k. ( ATTA BOY! ).

As we motored home to port I could not help but think back to when it all began for me, & how fortuneate I was to be able to re-live the beginning of the adventure all over again with Connor.

I am indeed a lucky guy.

Regards,
DSD

I started diving with my dad at age 12 and we have scheduled a dive trip every year at least once a year since.
