53. NASDS Certified in 1977. This is mine and my DH 30th year diving together. We got certified as newlyweds. We are still diving together. He is my favorite dive buddy. Incidentally, we were taught by the founder of SSI, Doug McNeese. His Dad, Doug Sr. opened the Dive Shop in Memphis in the 60's. Doug Jr. now lives in Boulder Co and owns SSI. We went to HS with him in Memphis.

42 years old, first dive when I was 16. Last 14 years living in south FL and diving 200 -300 days a year weather permitting. Have dove all over the world, East Africa through Indonesia and New Guinea to East Australia, as well as Hawaii and Nor/Southern Cal. Love collecting my own fish for my tanks, in fact last 10 years have not bought a single fish.
