So, my daughter just got back from 2 ½ years in Namibia serving in the Peace Corp in Khorixas. My surprise for her was to get my diving certification so we could dive together in Hawaii – her homecoming celebration. It was hard for me to pass all of the tests, but so worth it. I passed my certification right when her dive master brought her up from her 2nd dive – my 4th. It was so awesome! She saw my dive master clap and heard me scream through my regulator. There were lots of hugs at 54’ It was awesome.
Diving isn’t easy, but it is so worth it. The gear is overwhelming, and the suits are cumbersome, but I love it. Shore diving seems easier until you do it… hauling gear, fins, lots of sand… hard work. Boat diving seems scary at first – out in the middle of nowhere, but I so loved every single thing. Dangit, I may be addicted to diving. Everything was amazing.
We are diving this next weekend at Octopus Hole in Hoodsport. I can’t wait. Jessica and me and all of my dive friends.. . . . It will be awesome. Hope to post pics.
Happy bubbles, friends.
