So, what the heck does SCUBA mean? Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
I first started SCUBA diving in 1984, when my dad wanted to
learn.
He paid for my SCUBA certificate as well (naturally I wouldn't
turn
that down!). But, by the next time I wanted to go diving, more
than 10
years had passed. I'd also misplaced (or thrown out) my original
log
books. (So my original diving is not recorded here.) I re-took the
class with Frankie
in 1996 at the PADI certified
school Ocean Concepts.
In 1999 we did a pair of dives off Oahu; see Frankie's journal
for December 22.
In the spring of 2000 Frankie and I took a class on science diving. I got a nasty cold, and they wouldn't let Frankie dive due to her heart, so of the trip to Home I only got in one short dive.
In 2001 we did a pair of dives off Tahiti (Feb. 10th) and a
single
dive off Caines in the Great Barrier Reef (Feb. 26) which you can
read
about in Frankie's journal
of the honeymoon cruise.
