I'm impressed!I wanted that "Diver" rate when I was in the Navy Cadets ( 3 years before I joined) ,told I was too young, took me 18 months to earn it after I joined and another 16 years to acquire my first civilian qualification, NAUI Aow while I was still in the Navy, the Navy paid for me to become a civilian diving instructor as part of my "resettlement training for civilian life " . What's that? 57 years diving 40 years a civilian instructor, PADI for 6 and NAUI since.![]()
Nope. I am a noob.Oh shiit, you don't know what SXXT is?
Ah. Now I know.Excrement.
I grew up in central Ohio. Diving just wasn't anything any of us thought about. It took forever for me to think of doing it. Like you, it would have been great to start sooner, but better late than never.My only regret is that I didn't get involved with diving a lot younger. I had opportunities growing up close to the ocean, but I also had a helicopter mom and she would have had no part of it.
