Yes, you ‘Rock’ as well. Keep it up my soggy friend. Adventure Awaits!!Hi @drrich2
Exactly, that's me.
I grew up in So California, certified at age 16 and dived actively for 10 years, mostly shore diving, some trips to Catalina.
Then, I finished medical school, got married, moved up to Portand OR for residency and fellowship. Backpacking, skiing, fishing replaced diving. We had our first chlld. Then we moved to Philadelphia for good jobs, had our second child.
Skip a little ahead, when my son was 11, we took a week vacation to Grand Cayman, watched all the divers. I was recertified with my son when he turned 12. My wife got certified with my daughter when she turned 12 in 2001. We finally had the time and money to afford diving.
We have dived as a family ever since, harder and harder to get our children to join us though dived with my son in 2019 and with my daughter in 2019 and 2022. So, it's now 2257 dives for me, 413 for my wife, 303 for my son, and 79 for my daughter. Working to increase those numbers for all of us
