That I walked into the dive shop at the Club Med in Sonora Bay almost 10 years ago looking for something to do while my wife and daughter spent their days on the beach.

What a great topic Bogie!

I'm very thankful for all the GUE mentors and instructors who coached me throught my learning curb this year until I had the skill to dive in the exquisite caves .

I'm thankful for 223 dives in 2010 - probably will be 232 by NYE 2010.
for all my dive buddies and friends who have made this last year so enjoyable.
for the courage to sign up for GUE Fundies and the determination to pass it
and also pass GUE Cave 1

for the great fortune of having excellent instructors & classmates
and for all the skills I was taught which made diving so much easier
and for all those awe filled moments gliding through the spectacular decorated chambers.

For all the marine creatures you mentioned Bogie, but add the Wolf Eels, Sunflower sun star, little flounders, bat rays, egg yolk jellies, little octopi and so many more...

This joint ain't too bad.

I'm thankful to still be walking upright while breathing on my own. And for being so fortunate to have such a great marriage that is just as good as it was when it started 16 years ago. Of course scuba rules we all know that but what I'm truly thankful for are the little moments we get to experience on a daily basis, the stuff that can be missed if your not careful. Scuba experiences are part of those moments.
