LM - Welcome to the Swamp! I was in the shop the day you signed up and picked out your gear - I'm glad you made it this far and had such a great first Travis dive. Every one of us has been through exactly what you went through. I was laughing out loud at several of your comments ... I have sooooo been there ... and not that long ago.
You got to join with two of the best divers out there. Chris and Melissa are as good as it gets. Now you can look forward to working your way down the rest of the list - set your goals to dive with every one of the rest of us local Swampers. It just gets better and better.

I'm the dad ... he's a better diver than me, but I pay for everything so it evens out. When are you doing Hamilton (I'm assuming you’re talking about the Pool)? There's a rumor about something this Saturday morning - I'll be there. I'm not going to be able to make the Balmorrea trip - spring yard work has to get done. Outside that, I'm up for any weekend, and I can usually do a weekday afternoon without too much trouble.
BTW - Salt water is not a limit ... it’s a crutch ... much too easy ... all that warm blue clear water, colorful fish and stuff. We've been diving 3 years now and except for a few trips to the Long Island Sound (December, 30 degree air temp, 38 degree water temp) and 3 trips to Disney's DiveQuest at Epcot Center, I haven’t done any salt water yet either. It’s all been fresh water lakes - cold, murky, and dark - the only way to dive.
Don't fall for that Caribbean blue water stuff … Love the Lake – it will return the favor over and over again.
