PADI


*Sigh* PADI Sort of a half-life dream. (I'm not going to say lifelong, because that would mean I came out wanting to dive...) So anyway, I find myself going to Dive Time in Clarksville, to smell the store (it smells like salt water and fish, I'm weird I know, but I love it) and to check out all of the gear and what trips are coming up. I want to go to Scuba Rave too, but just haven't made it to that side of town.

The thing is, I live in Tennessee. This is not too conducive to scuba diving, and certainly not to becoming a PADI dive master. I mean, just look at the courses you need to take! If I lived somewhere like, oh...Hawai'i, or California... I could get this done. What could be better than taking folks out for dives every day? Nothing! (Other than being with my kids of course)

I realize that this is just a far fetched dream, one that will most likely never come to fruition. I live in the country, I'm not in shape, and frankly, it costs some serious moolah.

But I have to tell you...when I watched Disney Oceans in the theatre, and when I've been under the water with all of God's creatures and sea life, I've never been more at peace.

  1. Ok, first off you can't say it's a dream that will most likely never come to fruition. If you want anything bad enough you will figure out how to accomplish it! You can totally go to the dive shop & take the class according to your time schedule & get certified in the quarry...not ideal I know but I did it that way! I didn't know you wanted it this badly but WHEN you get certified we can go diving together :) Summer is just around the bend!!
