Well, it's done and I am already back at work (sigh) The most perfect Catalina weather, comfortable water temps and a wonderful instructor. 5 dives total, each one better than the last. All our dives were at the Casino park but I never tired of the sights. I even saw a HUGE black sea bass! So it's done, I am a PADI OW diver. Those of you with kids will get a kick out of this next story.

When I got home my 13 year old daughter was mostly jealous. She got her PADI OW this summer at the CIMI camp on the island. As I was telling my diving stories from the past few days she kept saying things like "I've done that" "I knew that" "We learned that at CIMI" on and on she kept trying to be-little my dives. In the end she said that we had the same EXACT training. I said there was a difference. She argued "there is not a difference!!!!!" and then I dropped the bomb on her.....

"Your card says JUNIOR certified" Red in the face, she laughed big time.

It was a wonderful time and I can't wait to go again.
 
I couldn't wait to get my kids certified once I'd done it. Helping them learn the basics and watching them go through the class was huge. Now we dive together whenever they visit. You're in for lots of fun.
 
Congrats, "tan" .... welcome to the world of SCUBA!! Let the real learning begin while having fun!

A bunch of us SBers (and other boards) will be gathering in Avalon the weekend of Nov. 7-9th as
one of our monthly "wrinkles" beach dives. Looks like all the hotel are booked but you & daughter
are welcome to join up Saturday and get to know some of us.
Hope to see you in the water someday soon!
