As you grow up you watch a few movies that has underwater life, and you let your mind wander with the whales and sharks and of course the loved dolphins. I have an uncle that worked over seas in the Virgin Islands and I would hear his stories on the wrecks he dove. I had a friend that lived in Honduras that lived on the island of Roatan and he was the one that brought the underwater life alive. We would snorkel right off his dock and see every color fish, lobsters, octopus eating a conch, and so much more.
Although he has passed on I will never forget the first time my face went under water. It was clear and I was hooked.
So I bought my own set of snorkeling gear and traveled back and forth to the island enjoying what the reef around the island had to offer me, but I longed for more. I would see divers leave on a boat that was headed for a wreck or just a simple reef dive. I would hear there stories at the local beach bar and I finally realized that I would have to dive.
So on a recent visit to see family in Louisiana my uncle gave me his BCD and told me he couldn,t dive any more because of troubled ears. (not from diving) I was stoked so. I couldnt wait. So after a year past, I did it! I signed up for Diving class.
I hope to note the experiences and what I have learned through this blog.
