29, going onto 30 this weekend.
Got my OW Cert. at Subsurface Fiji on Beachcomber Island in 2005. Had a BLAST. Met some amazing people, and logged 7 dives. The 2nd last one being Supermarket (shark dive, what a rush!)
2 years later, went to Cuba, and logged 2 dives at the Bay of Pigs. Wasn't the greatest diving, very choppy, but was nice to get back in the water again.
2 years later (this March) went to St. Lucia, and logged 3 more dives. Much better diving then Cuba (but not compared to Fiji). Again it was nice to get back in the water again.
Heading to Thailand this March (2010) with my wife on our long overdue honeymoon (1-1/2yrs!). The plan is for her to do her OW classroom/pool dives here in Vancouver, then do her OW dives in Thailand. We are looking at maybe diving in 2-3 places, depending on how much she likes it. We definitely want to make a live-a-board one of them.
I'm a wedding photographer as a full time job. As much as I'd love to take down a dSLR with me, cost of the cases are way too much, specially now that i'm in the slow season. That being said, my wife bought me a awesome little Canon sd780 IS which shoots 720p HD, so i'm looking at getting either the Canon WP-DC31 or the Ikelite 6240.78. I'm leaning more towards the Ikelite. It's around $80 more, then the Canon, but the options for wide angle, strobes etc, are better for down the road.
Well thats about it! Looking forward to reading more here!
(fyi attached two images from my dives in Fiji. One is of me from my 4th dive, and the other from the 6th shark dive. Both images were taking on a Sealife 35mm film camera)
