Diving Wife

Well if you can't tell I am very excited about our upcoming vacation. As I maybe posted a little prematurely about it. But the whole point of a blog is to write about what I want to when I want to right? Anyway, last night my wife did her first confined water dive, and I watched, "as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs." She did amazing. Got through confined water dives 1,2, and part of 3 on her first night. She had no problems learning to equalize on her way down. I have really come to love diving, and when I was able to dive for the first time with my 12 year old son, what fun. Now to add the rest of the family, and tropical waters like Maui, it should be awesome.

Vacation

It is almost here. June 23rd we leave for Maui for 10 days. My 12 year old son and I are both certified divers, and ready to trade in 50 degree water with 2-6' of visibilty for 75 degree water and 100' of visibility. My wife, who up until this point was not interested in diving has decided to get her C-Card as well. But she wants nothing to do with the cold water around here. So she is going to do the classroom & pool work here and then finish up the open water in Hawaii with Maui Dreams. I have 2 days of boat diving booked with Ed Robinson and then plenty of shore dives during the week as well.
