Twelve years of diving all over the place under my belt. Ive dove in Hawaii, most of the Caribbean, kelp diving in California, dove the warm (?) waters of Nova Scotia, the wrecks of Bermuda, the Florida Keys. The past 2 years, Ive concentrated on diving off the coast of North Carolina along the Outer Banks. And of course, least we forget, Dutch Springs (local PA quarry) and New Jersey.
I hold Instructor rating through NAUI. And in November I'll be taking Instructing Handicaped Divers through HSA.
I got interested in diving after my brother-in-law got certified and showed me all his neat stuff for diving. I thought --I need more stuff. After I got certified my brother-in-law invited me and my two sons to join his family on a vacation to the Florida Keys. There would .be, for sure, some diving. My sons, not content on just sitting around asked me if they could become certified also. They got their certification in NJ and off we went.
We still do our family diving vacation every year. We usually choose some exotic destination and dive. Between my family and my sisters family, there are now 18 divers. We usually find a boat that can handle this size group and virtually take it over for a week.
This has become a tradition that I dont want to ever end. How else is a dad able to convince a 22 and a 25 year old to go on a family vacation?
I mentioned above that I will be relocating to Orlando, FL (looks like July - we sold our house in NJ just need the person who bought it to set the final settlement date). Looking forward to diving some of the Springs in Florida and maybe getting certified and involved with cave diving. What the heck! another challenge. If you don't keep the challenges comming what's life about?
