To be honest from the first time I watched "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" as a little guy in the 60's I knew I wanted to scuba dive. He opened up an entire new world to me, one that I wanted to see one day for myself.
I got certified in Naui in 75 and got a handful of dives under my belt over the years. Tough living in the middle of Texas and being able to dive. When I got married in 83 my diving days ended for about 20 years until the kids were out or almost out of HS. I tried to get a new Naui card and was told sorry only had paper records back then. Got re-certified in PADI, good thing the technology/equipment had changed a lot since 75! Since I traveled for living I started diving almost every time I was near the ocean. Been blessed to have traveled around the globe and dove some pretty cool places.
I love being under the seas blowing bubbles as often as I can now. Vacations are usually dive trips for my wife and I now.
Thank you Jacques for introducing me to the coolest world that exists!
