Got certified in Durban, South Africa back in 1989. Dove a bunch at Aliwal Shoal, and Sodwana right after cert and had no idea how spoiled I was. Moved to California in 1993 and discovered cold water and hard times. Put my gear away except for the odd vacation dive. My ex-wife cannot dive due to ear trouble and so years later after we divorced I met a lady that is a rescue diver etc, and I got back into it. Of course I had lost my card and Naui couldn't find it in their system etc....so I redid my Open Water cert in 2013. Since 2011,I have travelled to dive in Sodwana, South Africa, Cancun (Playa del Carmen), Maui, Fiji and soon we're headed to Roatan, Honduras. I had forgotten how much I loved diving. Happy to have it back as part of my life again.

Crescent BayTraining dive to prove that my previous 50+ dives were no fluke. Beach entry, no real swell issues. Average vis. Brand new divers as team mates doing their 1st dive post cert. Practiced mask clearing, regulator retrieval, emergency ascents, buddy breathing, etc. Piece of cake. no time to explore or have fun.
