I got my Advanced Open Water in Utila, Honduras during my big trip. I loved every minute of it - especially the night dive. I did some more diving on the Corn Islands in Nicaragua. Highly recommend both.
I'm not really into sitting on a beach all day - so diving perfect for me on vacation. |

Speaking of tables and beating them into people.... My younger son just spent a couple of hours last night working tables (SSI and PADI), just to brush-up on the skill. I won't lie, it's fun, but it's important too. He, like me, has become to comfortable with the dive computers! And with most days being 4-dive days, being limited to 32%, and one 5-dive day, I want him to understand/be reminded of how much graduated dives and SIs matter. If you don't pay attention, the Suunto will have its way with you and you'll be a bobber and telling jokes with the topside watch. That being said, even with Suunto's crazy-careful algorithm, it gives you LOTS of time you wouldn't get if you use a pencil.. |

I have a non-diver wife too. I'm OK with it, it gives me my "me" time and she can waste all the time she wants getting sandy (YUCK!!), reading books, "enjoying" the resort's gym, and the spa (she's not Bob Kraft!), we'll dive and meet her for dinner!

Wife and I are both AOW. Few ocean dives, and just dove Epcot (WDW) this past fall. I don't have much else to add other than I prefer backplate/wing!

Certified in the Maldives. Have done a lot of amazing dives all over. It's absolutely one of my favorite things in the world and I can't recommend it enough to anyone considering it.

Speaking of the Hoist, before I joined the Navy I dated the Hoist's CMC. Amazing how small the world is... This is another dive I want to do: My boat kicked the Radford all over the ocean during an exercise, I went 10-for-10 with putting ADCAPs on them, enough to have been given the ship's seal. I might just return it... Skimmers are just too easy.. Unless you were on the USS Moosebrugger, those guys were uncommonly challenging.. And I think the Navy still has the school in PC, "On the Bayou"!!! Good times... |
