Yes, there is. I need to get out of this house -- too much cooking with chocolate. My happy place is going to make me fatter. I went to the doc for the regular check up and I'm pushing the BMI envelope -- I hate that little chart.

Too funny -- good movie.

Just being near the ocean relaxes me, and being in the water... ahhh. Yes that is my zen to be sure. Always has been. When I want to relax I think about my trip to the Caymen Islands and snorkeling with sting rays -- life doesn't get much better. And too funny about the instructor...

Thank you! You have been especially helpful and have taken a great deal of your time to help. It really means a lot! I am so looking forward to this. The attorney will be here shortly and I should have all that behind -- the attorney was almost finished, became very ill, then was...

And once again, seeing that avatar made me smile :) Thank you, it does help!

I'm sorry, I feel like this may be entirely my fault. Please let me say that I have appreciated the information that everyone is giving. I am exploring every possibility due to my recent bad experience. Normally I wouldn't worry, just dump the idiot instructor and move forward. I have to say...

Please re-read the post -- I hadn't finished -- for some reason when I touch the touch pad incorrectly it posts -- I still don't know exactly what I'm touching to make it post??? who knows.

I think you may be right -- I do have a lot to worry about in the beginning. Thanks so much for your advice and help.

Isn't that really just a personal opinion? I appreciate and respect the way you choose to learn, and I think you should do what "floats your boat". It would be very respectful for others to let me "float my boat" any I way choose and not assume I should do it the way they do it. I do...

Thank you. I'm sorry I missed your post. I keep double checking the threads because I am missing posts. I click on the "alert" and I believe it takes beyond some posts so I miss them. Still getting used to the best way to navigate threads.

Excuse me, but that is your interpretation. Please don't lay your biases on my shoulders. They are yours, please keep them. I have enough of my own.

Any instructor who would tell me that is someone I would pass by. That's like saying "don't worry your pretty little head darlin'". Thanks, but not thanks :)

I've been considering so many different things and trying to decide the best approach for me. It's wonderful that there are so many choices -- I didn't know that till I came here -- Thank you !!!! I like an instructor who can teach a "hybrid" class. It suggests they have an open mind, they...

I really don't want to start out with doubles. It's not about the weight or physical exertion, it's about being comfortable in the beginning so I can not only learn, but enjoy.

LOL, yes you have, and I thank you.

I didn't think the tanks would be difficult to rent at dive locations??? I don't mind taking the rest of my gear, in fact I prefer it.

Thank you Marie. I'm sitting here thinking about that hurdle -- adult diapers. I wouldn't have to "glue" them -- my goodness, a catheter would be less painful, hehehe.

Okay, no fluids before diving... got it, hehehe

@Marie13 I saw the "P-valve" for ladies in a drysuit, and immediately thought, rut ro, sounds like a challenge. I can't imagine using a catheter and I also can't imagine doing that another way. I really need to research that. Okay, sigh, went to she-p.com (I could have lived my entire life...

Thank you! If I had thought about you folks around the great lakes, and the various locations of people on this board, I would have realized the OW had to be done in a dry suit. I didn't really give it much thought until you, and stuartv mentioned it. I'm kicking myself for not doing this...
