my whole family got certified together, well my dad was already and had been an instructor. we used to go every weekend to get lobsters and then have fresh dinner. we actually got sick of lobster. diving where i am is not as fancy. but still relaxing and cool to see the underwater world. aruba was nice and curacao.Yeah I hear ya. It's just the wife and me so we don't have kids keeping us from going and doing new things. Even then, work and projects keep me busy.
