Hello everyone,
Yeap, I am a new diver. I am so unaware of what is out there waiting for me to see. As I was purchasing equipment, I met this wonderful lady that told me about this site. She says it is the best way to meet, talk to, see, & buy things from other divers. That is what led me here.
My two children (ages 16 & 14) were also certified along with me at the end of last summer. Due to all of this crazy weather we have been having, we have yet to make a dive. I am axious to see what is out there, just hearing the stories people tell & seeing great underwater pictures, But I am very nervious & scard. My main concern is being that I have children (young adults - as my daughter would put it) that dive. How can I be certian of their safety at all times. As a mother I want to know where they are at, at any given moment. My son is 14 and is really small for his age (always mistaken for a 8 yr old) is also going to be joining us. During classes I noticed he had difficulty in going down & come back up. When he is ready to go down - wam, he goes too fast. When it is time for him to resurface- he shoots to the top. This is not good. My fear is that if he sees something that scars him, he is just going to inflate his bc, out of panic & shoot to the top, causing damge to his small body. Mother's worries I know. My husband who has been diving for quite some time loves spearfishing. When he stayed in Maui, HI for quite some time, he embrassed this sport & enjoys being in the water every moment he can. His return is what roped the whole family in joining him. Something we can all do together. However, my interest in spearfish is "0" right now. I do love the water & have always been consider a gupie...lol Other than this we enjoy the outdoor: fishing, camping, hicking, Hunting, etc. Anything to do with nature. We live in the country & would not have it any other way. Natures call to peace I say. Anyway, I look forward to meeting great folks on here who perhaps we can dive with, become friends, share experience, educate ourselves on places to go, thing to look out for, etc. I will be around & about.... SEE YA ! ! !
