my dad used to work for a tourism company that had two small sailing vessels and once a month my family was invited to go sailing for free. now and then we'd either go whale watching or coral diving but never really hardcore diving. nowadays i'm not so much of a water weasel but i still think diving's cool, if you don't mind taking classes to get a certificate

I'm a certified Muff Diver! No seriously, the last time I went was off the eastern coast of Mexico. Near Cancun and Cozumel. It was some of the best that I have ever experienced. I'd love nothing more than to dive the Great Barrier Reef, but don't have the funding or the time off right now. But thats definitly on my list of things to do before I die.

yeah maybe he's a bit too young yet, but actually my bro is 14 and he did the Junior Certification...but living at diving MECA...both of you should give it a try...

I've only been to Utila & Roatan...it's amazing...I'd totally recomend it...I'd love to go to Cozumel!...my uncle goes there a lot, he live in Houston so it's kinda close...going to the great barrier reef is also on my list of things to do before I die...

I dive.. although I did not dive in the sea.. But I know all the basics.. and know how to remove everything underwater and wear it again underwater.. removing the googles was hell at first but took some time until I got the idea . and mastered it hehe....
My Dad was the one who teached me.. He went diving couple of weeks ago to Maldeef Island.. and got back a video which was great .. We also went to Egypt to a place called " Sharm AlShailk " and drived their.. And he is also thinking of going to Hawaii to try to drive their.. hope I'll go with him and have a go..  ..

I usually dive with my father. We dive in the Costa Brava, in the Mediterranean sea. Perhaps you've heard something about Illes Medes (Medes Islands), it's a place wellknown for people who like diving. We usually dive around that place...

I dont Scuba dive in the traditional sense, but whenever I get the time I like to go spear fishing. I dont use a tank, only a snorkel.
Anyone else spear fish?
