About dsdiving

Biography:

I was newly married and my brother- in-law took his O/W. He told us all about the course and how much fun it was, so my wife & I took the next available class.That was in 1989.
I logged 143 dives in my first year .I carried on to Advanced- Rescue Diver, Master SCUBA Diver(with half a dozen specialties) then to Dive Master.
While working at my LDS my boss recieved a call from a Local Commercial outfit saying that all of their Divers were sick and they wanted him to help out. Being sick himself my boss sent me in his place.It was a simple job but they were impressed with how I handled myself and how quickly I learned the gear. I had found my calling, I was going to become a Commercial Diver.
I had continued to dive commercially for about six years as well as being an overly active member of a Local Dive Club with an average of 100 dives/ year.
Now most of my old Dive Buddies have retired and found less thrilling hobbies & my wife doesn't dive any more. I just broke the 2000 mark in my Log Book last Winter.
Most of my Dive Buddies now are much younger and less experienced divers, But I enjoy it just the same.
Well that's it in a nut shell...
