I just moved and while I was going through some old pictures and I found a picture of me on my VERY first dive.
It was in Key Largo and my family had accompanied my father on a dive trip. I was eleven years old at the time and I had been BEGGING Dad to let me go diving with him at least once. So on a shallow reef he did a very short intro to scuba after a quick lesson in the pool. At the time they did not make any kind of scuba equipment in my size so I was using a jury rigged setup borrowed from a friend of my father's. It was a very short dive (about 10 minutes) but its been a passion I've had since that day eight years ago.
And just for comparison here is a pic taken today.
I am a swimming Scubapro bilboard lol
Anyone else have any first dive stories or then and now pictures they would like to share?
