SCUBA!!!
Our most favorite recreational activity is scuba diving. We got certified in about 2000 and have since received our Advanced PADI certification and Rescue Diver certification (includes O2 provider and Emergency First Response). Most recently we got our Dive Master certification in Hong Kong and now can assist with training and can even plan and lead dive trips.
We have visited the Bahamas, Caribbean, British Virgin Islands, Belize, Hawaii, Africa (Pemba Island) and Puerto Rico, Cabo San Lucas, Thailand and many more. We are looking forward to many more dive vacations. In fact, starting in March 2007 we plan to take a year off to travel and dive.

"I'm traveling in Nepal until October 1st and was interested in spending the first part of the month at the other extreme - scuba diving. I've dived in Australia and loved it but I'm hoping to get certified. Thailand is on the table. Are there any recommendations you would give in Thailand or anywhere in the region for this time of the year? I'm flexible."

Whether I find myself twisting through endless cenote passageways or drifting bird-like over Cozumel's reefs, I never cease to be astonished by the underwater world. When I am below the surface, I focus on precision and diving technique. At the same time, I turn my attention outwards and lose part of myself in the magical movement of the water and the rhythm of my breathing. Diving is a sort of meditation for me. As I have observed the health of my home reefs decline and begun to find trash in my favorite caves, the ebullience I experience underwater is tempered with the fear that I will soon lose my favorite places to pollution, unsustainable development and environmental decline.
Calling all divers! Have ever traveled to Thailand to dive? Do you know someone who has? Help reader Marissa out with advise on where to dive in Thailand. She writes:
My new students arrived at the dive shop at different times even though they were traveling together as a family. The father, big manic eyes and excessive energy, showed up about 15 minutes early and paced the classroom nervously, mumbling to himself about his "late family". The mother, quiet and kneading her fingers, arrived exactly on time, trailing behind her the most determined looking 10-year-old slip of a girl I had ever seen. Two teenage daughters arrived 5 minutes later, cell phones wedged between their ears and shoulders, and their brother wandered in about 15 minutes late still eating breakfast. I sighed. It was classic daddy-wants-the-family-to-dive syndrome. Our Adventures |

Here Shelly and I are in Belize along with our dive boat the Nekton. It looks funny and is not the most luxurious boat, but it is GREAT for diving. I don't have any fish pictures because I didn't have a digital camera for diving yet.
