Scuba Diving Stories, Questions, Pictures etc.

[ZoCrowes]

Let's use this as a forum to discuss diving. If you have any stories you want to relate, questions you want to ask this is the place to do it.

Diving is in my blood. My father started diving in 1968 and became an instructor in 1974. Even though it's been a huge part of his life he never forced it upon me I came into it on my own. When I was 11 I did an intro to scuba in the Florida Keys and I was HOOKED! After that I had to learn. My father had one of his friends to teach me and in the summer of 1996 I started scuba lessons. From there I did a few specialities (Advanced, Rescue, Photography) and when I turned 15 (adult diver) I began helping with scuba classes at my local dive center. When I turned 18 I became a Divemaster/DiveCon (NAUI/SSI) and shortly after that an Instructor. I have about 400 dives all of them in ever imaginable condition. From the Ohio River (had to,) to rock quarries, to freshwater springs to the carribean. It's a major part of who I am.

Anyone else here dive or have any stories they want to share?

And now some pics (if it's one of me I obviously did not take it lol)
