Greetings fellow scuba divers! 
I'll tell you a little about myself to start off with, nothing long and drawn out just how I became interested in the world of scuba diving. 
It all started with my husband, he suggested that we try scuba diving to see if it was something we would enjoy doing together. Now I won't lie, my first thought was oh crap :***: he's having some mid-life crisis and probably thinks he hasn't done enough in his life, so naturally I said "sure hon sounds great!" My second thought was hey it's cheaper then him learning how to fly :anakinpod so I better jump at the chance to save some money, little did I know :dropmouth . Needless to say the next day he was taking me to some local dive shops to look around and see which one we felt comfortable with so we could sign up for the classes. I still didn't think we were actually going to go through with it but it did seem exciting.:headscrat
One week later after LOTS of reading :1book: we started our classes. The next day we were getting in the pool with the gear on and thats when I realized that there was nothing to this, it was actually pretty easy. Then I went underwater and tried to breath out of my mouth instead of my nose. Lets just say that didn't work out very well for me the first few times I tried.:help: After a couple of hours I had the hang of it and I was ready to go. It was now time for the open water test and I was ready. It's a whole different world down there with catfish that have heads bigger then mine! :hai:
I've been scuba diving several times now and I must say I love every minute of it! I'm so grateful that I agreed to do this with my husband we have the time of our lives.:yl2jump: There is just one thing I wish the instructors would have told us when we started our training and that would be something along the lines of you will go into debt VERY quickly buying your scuba gear.:bawling: I think we are taking out a second mortgage next week, I'm not sure. But all in all I love diving and I'm sure I will pick up some tips from the boards.
