hey all
I've actually been thinking about the diver/nondiver thing as concerns my long-distance-but-committed gf (I'm in Ohio, she's in New Jersey; I dive, she barely swims). She did say once that she would give it a whirl as long as it was with me, but my impression is that she doesn't really feel comfortable with the idea. I've actually thought of asking her if she'd want to do a resort course if we ever go on a trip together (and since marriage is a distinct possibility for us, perhaps try it on a honeymoon...we've even decided on the VIRGIN Islands, hehe). For my part I would love to have her learn scuba, get certified, and come diving with me regularly, but of course I don't want to pressure her. If nothing else, it'd give her a reason to learn to swim better.
Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences with nondiving SO's and whether they've successfully convinced them to take the plunge. So anywho...
