Man I didnt realize there are so many people on here who dive and my thread got a nice response. Im going to Jamaica on the 11th of Nov to finish up my open water cert through Padi. I cant wait. I already bought my fins, snorkel, mask, and boots for a steal of a price.
If any of you need new gear let me know and Ill give you the link to where I got mine from I got all my stuff for well over half off. All Aeris gear.
Back in the "teams days" did a bit of diving in the Carribean, Gulf of Mexico, Pacific. Last Gov't dive was near Grenada in the 80's. Recently started teaching my sons how to SCUBA dive, and was refused an air fill for my twin 50's because I didn't have a PADI card. After discussing the matter with the Fire Chief (who airs up the tanks), he saw my tatoo of my "Budweiser" and filled my tanks for free. He also hand wrote on his card to fill my tanks without hesitation in the future. Finally a warrior discount! Join the Navy, travel to exotic lands, and shoot/dive all you want.
I've been diving since 2007, SSI open water. I'd like to take some rescue diver classes after I get my advanced open water--if I ever have the time for either.
I've dove off Florida, Georgia, quarries in KY, and the Red Sea off Egypt; absolutely gorgeous.

Indiana, Bahamas, St.Thomas, Cozumel, and St.Louis in 2 months. Unfortunately Indiana isn't the best state to live in for a avid diver.
