Self Reliant Diver--On All Dives.
To be honest from the first time I watched "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" as a little guy in the 60's
Being 5 years old and watching my dad sprinkle talcum powder into the legs and sleeves of his wetsuit while gearing up for a dive, and then walk out of the ocean an hour later, flip his DH reg back over his head, and be carrying a speared halibut or white sea bass on his stringer and/or having a game bag full of lobster, abalone and scallops
Grew up boating, waterskiing/wakeboarding, and swimming.
Hi 12th Man,
Good thread! Thanks!
All of the above and throw in fishing for albacore, yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, marlin, dolphin fish, swordfish, halibut, and more.
The ultimatum that proved to be the last straw was from my future wife: Get certified to dive or else! Early on in our relationship, it was deal breaker.
My response was: Hell yeah!
