A divers house -
Several days ago my son Dr.Sam IV and I were setting in the living room enjoying the view and the warmth of the California sun when the door bell unexpectedly rang.
I answered the door and much to our surprise it was a young spear fisherman with spear gun in hand who needed advice on rigging his gun. Of course he was invited inside for a visit and help with his "shoot'en iron" (just like John Wayne we are westerners)
He walked a few feet inside the door; his eyes enlarged as he was met by my wife's tastefully executed SCUBA Bell in the foyer and he exclaimed "So this is what a real divers home looks like!"
He followed us up into the living room were even more diving mementos of past dive adventure awaited him as visual diving treats to his eye.. He soon discovered our home is a testimony to my wife and my life time of local and international dive adventures.
It is our home of almost 30 years, and is a combination of a a diving museum, a diving library and equipment storage facility. But it is first an foremost what we like refer it as our comfortable retirement home on a California hill over looking the blue Pacific ocean
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would assume there are a number Scuba board members who also have homes with diver/nautical décor.
@boulderjohn house would be an unique visit possibly painted PADI true blue with a large shrine to John Cronin the founder of PADI
I can imagine @Marie13 home has a rather impressive collection of diving masks as a result of her insentient search for "THE MASK"
I would also expect @TMHeimer with his love of sea shells to have them strewn about in the living room and every bed room, bath room and hall.
It is recognized that underwater/dive related décor may not be appropriate in the soon to be snow bound hinterlands where diving is confined to an occasional summer dip in a quarry or a yearly trip to the tropics, but I suspect there are some homes with nautical /diver décor
How about an invite into your home and share a brief description or even pictures of your nautical/diving décor?
