Hi Everyone,
I am in the US and just moved from Colorado to Florida. It is so nice to have warm water to dive in after the cold mountain lakes in Colorado.
My wife and I are both over 50 and not in such great shape anymore (unless the shape of a pear is your ideal figure). We stopped diving in Colorado several years ago because the cold just took too much out of us and there really wasn't much to see. We would take vacations to warm water destinations and, after all of the beauty to be found there, the murky dives to see mostly wet dirt just did not hold much attraction.
Now that we are here in Brandon, Florida we are getting back into it. We are starting off with some snorkeling around Bradenton, Fl. Assuming all goes well, we will get the tanks hydroed and the rest of the gear serviced and do some beach dives to get comfortable with everythiing again.
We dove quite a bit when we lived on Long Island, NY USA. In fact we had a small boat on the the north shore of Long Island and we stayed on the boat on the weekends (having lobster every week was really nice); but that was over twenty five years ago. Time sure flies when you are having fun!
Well, have a great time diving. I know we will!!
