    Thanks to mateo at sea experience in fort lauderdale, my son is another diver in the water. I only wish i could have gotten started at his age instead of my thirties.

    A little young I would think. But maybe he has a head on his shoulders and is mature enough to take things seriously.
    There was a young man of Dundoo
    Whose limericks stopped at line two.

    I can verify that!

    She is gonna be a great diver.

    Even got her to sign my log book.

    Alas..makes me wish I started diving when I was younger. Instead of at age 37.

    Great to hear. My son was certified last year at 10 years and 2 weeks. I thought I was just hearing things while diving until one of the other divers confirmed the dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad was really there underwater. He does very well and I stay very close to him. It is great to see the joy in his face and eyes as we dive. He has 16 dives logged.
