Nik in Spain

..yet another newbie in need of much advice..but let's start with a quick intro : Not sure if to do this in the AA style or just give you all some data, well here we go - 55 y.o., married, 2 children, really bad bodymass index, as in overweight 102kg, shortish, 1.72m , halfspanish but brought up in different countries. I took some diving classes 40 years ago that make modern diving look like a sissy party..I mean - who needs a jacket and an octopus, right ;-) ? All four of us did a rather hazardous DSD in Nerja this year and those of us who really liked the idea of flying underwater will go for the OWD next year, despite the nightmare. My wife refuses flat out to ever put on a bottle again, hopefully I can change her mind over the next few years. My daughter is 10, so cannot legally take a OWD in our community, Andalucia, my son is 13 next year, so hopefully the rules can be bend (slightly broken..), as you need to be 14 before you can go diving with a bottle (national law is 16 y.o., most regions with their own law in Spain are far below, but have less sun , so for the moment we stay where we are..). I could go on for a good few hours more but my wife says we got to get some food on the table for those starving kids, so that's it for today.
