I'm John Ranahan, a PADI instructor living in Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia. I've been here going on three years. I work part time at the College of Micronesia. My wife and I also own a 31' sailboat that I sailed here from Trinidad this year. The trip took me six months.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I'd like to make it to that part of the world to dive in the future. Hopefully someday...
Oh! Welcome to Scubaboard!

Welcome! I am heading across to Micronesia in Jan (just for a visit) and looking forward to it tremendously.

Rhone Man,
If you are in Pohnpei, look me up. I see you are headed for Chuuk, however.

Roxanne,
Out on a fun dive yesterday. Had 100' visibility and saw about 50 reef sharks, along with lots of other fish and coral. This is a great place to dive. Come and find out!!

Congrats to making the sail. We had plans but the economy got the best of us. Now looking for a new lifestyle or just a get away for myself. What might be the least expensive way to dive with you? Do you ever rent out your boat for a single young diving grandma (nonsmoker) for a bit? I have airline points but not much money. Ideas? I could trade you time in North Idaho on horseback!
