I GOT THE JOB!!!!! I'm going to St. Thomas for 3 months!

WOOO-HOOO!!!! I got a call a few minutes ago from one of the temporary healthcare agencies....I had applied for a respiratory therapist position in St. Thomas and it looks like I got it. 3 months (20 September to 19 December) on a beautiful island with great diving and supposedly some of the best fishing in the Caribbean! WOOO-HOO! This means I can learn to dive in water reminiscent of Evian, instead of an oversized mud puddle. YES! (Sorry, don't mean to gloat but this is the first thing that has gone right (on this scale) for me in quite some time).

If anyone is going to be down there and wants to dive (and doesn't mind diving with a newly certified diver) during that time frame, let me know as I'll be looking for dive buddies. I should have my OW diver cert sometime around the start of October (I'm giving myself a few days to get settled and stuff before I take the class) and my AOW by the middle of the month.

I can't believe you would leave the beautiful and aromatic state of Ind just for that...

No really, I'm not jealous...

Congrats!
hope my advice and thoughts helped. Enojy down there.

There are some great non-diving activities be sure to take a trip to Jost Van Dyke, swim into the Soggy Dollar bar and have one of their famous pain killers. A great non-dive day is the trip on the New Horizons II boat. You leave in the morning, go to Virgin Gorda, lunch at Pusser's on Marina Cay and wind up at the Soggy Dollar before heading back to St. Thomas.
