Hi everyone -
I have recently decided to return to diving after a hiatus of 20 years!
Heres a bit about me - I grew up and lived on an island as a kid and so naturally spent a lot of time in/on/under the sea! Became an instructor (PADI/TDI) and moved to Bahamas where I did all the usual diving activities and jobs.
Then life came along. I met a great woman, had kids, got a mortgage and settled into a (non-diving) career etc etc.
Recently (2019) we returned from vacation in Maui where my son decided he wanted to try diving. I couldn't get him in the water quick enough...! Seeing him in total awe at the underwater world reminded me of the good old dive days...
Anyway, here I am deciding to go full steam back into diving again. I've been looking at re-certification, though only to a non-professional level, maybe Nitrox in the future who knows. My intention is to be able to go diving with the kids and see where it leads me...
Thanks for reading - I hope to be able to contribute in some small way to the community here and look forward to learning to dive again!
Now - wheres my credit card...
