Passports

[SubMariner]

I heard that only about 20% of people in the US have a passport. That got me to wondering:

1) Nationality.
2) Do you have a passport? If yes, how long? If no, why not?
3) Countries you have lived in or visited.

My stuff:
1) Canadian.
2) Yes. About 20 yrs.
3) England, Ireland, Germany, Egypt, US, various countries in the Caribbean including Cuba, Bonaire, the Bahamas, and Jamaica.

~SubMariner~

1) U.S.

2) Yes, 4 years (primarily because of diving)

3) Lived in or visited:
U.S. (dove),
Canada (dove),
Cayman Islands (dove),
Mexico (not dove)

I would be curious to know if a larger percentage of the dive population has passports vs non-divers...
