Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time, what would you tell yourself

I could say many things here about my personal life that I would have done different but the OP was about diving, looking back now, I would do it all the same because it has all been sooooo good! I even have fond memories of being scared half out my mind the first time I dove (I dove many times without C card) I wish I had gotten certified 20 years before I finaly did.

Working on a dive boat is an excellent thing to do, regardless of how profoundly I get seasickness. Also that going someplace pretty and having amazing experiences is more important than most boyfriends- and that having a dog greatly reduces the ability to go to said pretty places.

Hurry for PNW diving!

Ah, yes . . .
. . . finish what you start.

Started my diving instruction back in '69.

Just wonder where I'd be now had I completed the cycle way back then.

Alas, the road not taken . . .

Don't swim in front of an inexperienced spear gun welding fool in a new drysuit...

Hey, Rot . . .

There are those who understand ( a very few ) . . . and those who never will !

But I was off topic, and for that, I do beg forgiveness.

( . . . and I did put the bottle down because it's EMPTY, dagnabbit !!!!)

I would have told myself that diving is as much about emotion and sprit as it is about technique and protocol. Don't be a perfectionist or you'll kill the joy.

Don't fall in love with that coed.... don't do it... you'll move home and won't dive for a year... don't... crap...
