Well, I finally pulled the trigger and, after thinking about it for the last few years, signed up for the NAUI open water class.
My wife and I go on a couple of Caribbean cruises every year and I got sick of looking at the water from above. So, here we go.
Other places that I have been and am looking forward to diving are Nassau, Bahamas; Cozumel, Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; St. Thomas; and Cancun (yes, I like warm places). I have snorkeled in several, but I'm really looking forward to staying on the bottom.
I am really looking forward to our next trip back to Belize - I've heard the diving is incredible. There are not a lot of diving spots near me (I am in the Baton Rouge, LA area), but I have family in Florida and the NC Outer Banks (I don't know if the diving in NC is any good, but I'm willing to try it).
Any words of advice for a 51 year old newbie would be appreciated. I am sure I'll have questions looking for advice on what to spend money on, but, seeing that I don't start class until Tuesday, it mat be a little early to go buy tanks. LOL
