I haven't read that far back on past entries so I just know the tip of the iceberg..... Glad to hear your step-dad and aunt are healing. That's always scary when those close to us get hurt. And I'm sorry about the loss of your dad. It's always frustrating when you can't get closure or completion.
I hope things go well with your medical problem. If you don't mind me asking, who is your OB-Gyn?
RE: the friend who is in trouble... Is there something in the water? (Sorry about the pun) I'm going through that myself! I like your analogy and I think it's very applicable.
75 high today! I'm am anxiously watching the thermometer and can't wait for the first dive of the season ^ ^
Thanks for the well-wishes :) My OB/Gyn is Dr. Karen Southmayd up near the RR hospital. She's awesome, I really like her. I've only ever seen her for Gyn issues, but I chose her on recommendation of someone who had used her for OB too.
I'm looking forward to getting back in the water too. I don't have a wetsuit I'm happy with right now, though, so I think I'm going to have to wait a little while for warmer water. My husband and I are thinking about a trip to Cozumel this year, too *fingers crossed*
Who did you certify with? We've done almost all of our training and bought all of our gear at Scubaland North, and we really like it there.
We got certified through Dive World off 620. My dive buddy is a DM and he knows quite of few of the instructors there. Thanks for the good recommendation on Scubaland. That's literally right up the street from us and we're thinking about getting some of our certs there instead!
I had a bad experience with Dive World last year. Nothing major, but they were supposed to hold a scuba camp for kids, and we signed my daughter up. They decided to cancel the class a week before it was scheduled, and were completely unsympathetic to the fact that that left me with an 8 yr old with a one-week hole in her summer camp schedule, and it was already the middle of summer and most places were full! Not only that, but the guy copped an attitude with me over refunding the deposit - "Well, normally we don't do that..." Excuse me? You canceled the camp, now give me my money back!
That's not to say that they aren't qualified divers or that their instructors aren't qualified, but I won't put my life in the hands of people who are that unprofessional.
If you decide to do any specialty certs at Scubaland, let me know...maybe we can arrange our own class and get a discount! I've also been diving with a handful of instructors, so I'd be happy to spill my guts ;)
