Lake Ouachita next to Hot Springs, AR. Pretty much our regular weekend hang out now days.

Pulau Seribu, North of Jakarta, Indonesia. Just retrun from the site last week and realize, how beautiful it is compared to my Open Water class

My theory, I ahve better buoyancy now that I can enjoy the dive more than during my class.

My check out dives and subsequent dives were at the local spring, Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, NM.

My first "real open water" dive was in St. Marteen. Even with the reef being in less than stellar condition, it was still Outstanding

also at 'beautiful back beach' in rockport ma... plenty of crabs &c... crickets all over, but no counters... and flounder... remember being down 20fsw 55f, with what felt like a metric ton of hardware on thinking 'this is kind of spooky'...

May 1970 at a quarry in northwest NJ. I remember the thermocline.

With age comes (sometimes) wisdom. Last year I sent my daughter to Boca Raton FL for her checkout dives, instead of going to a quarry here in northern IL.
