Underwater certified welding many years ago. After you have to work underwater then the fun goes away. Haven't been down in many many years.

Ditto. Grew up in Hawaii and spent a lot of time snorkeling but didn't start diving until I was stationed in Kaneohe in the early 80s. Worked out of a dive shop and was able to get my PADI Master Diver certification, along with Dive Master and Instructor credentials. Like Twitchy, teaching got old. Career in the Marine Corps allowed me to dive in some great places like Okinawa, Guam, Philippines and the Great Barrier reef in Australia (capstone of my diving career), along with places in CONUS like Monterey, CA, NC and FL. Doing a 25 year anniversary trip with my wife in Feb and might be able to get a dive in Turk.

I don't have the bug as bad as I used to, but enjoy it when the opportunity presents itself. Favorite dive is at night.

Basic and Advanced cert in Panama after Operation Just Cuz. Night dives around the Canal were incredible, always thought they would clean up something that sank so near the canal.
Miss diving, and salt water, terribly. Now kids, guns, and bikes seem to take up all my time and money. Maybe one of my sons will find themselves at a coastal college I can visit!

Good job on your certification, and have a great time.

I got certified this past winter. Did my training and first two dives at the Denver Aquarium through A1 scuba. Did my last two dives in Cozumel which is a great place to dive with the added benefit that it is also one of the cheaper places to dive. Had a blast and can't wait to go again.

In Cozumel with the GoPro.. need a color filter for the next trip..

+1 for cozumel. great dive for the price. been there twice now. I bet that is the same shark as my video!?!? lol
def90-FYI, I had to use a lot of color manipulation in iMovie to make the colors look somewhat right. I was using a ContourGPS.

I just started a few years ago and am trying to get the wife certified. Started late in life but love it.
Can't wait to dive in Belize after I snorkeled there.
