Earned my divemaster certification at UT in the 90s. Used to help teach students out at Lake Travis - Windy Point. Holla to the SCUBA Club and Starnes Island.
I’ve been fortunate to dive many places. Did a lot of mud diving state-side, but of course the action is in the salt.
Key Largo, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Grand Cayman, St. Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, St. Thomas, Bonaire, Curacao, Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, Fiji, Mo’orea, Bora-Bora, Maui, Big Island, Eilat, Sharm El Sheikh.
Wreck diving and wall diving rule.
Have spent the last several years having kids, hunting, fishing, farming. Once the boys are old enough, look out, I’m taking them to depth. Can’t wait.
Whale sharks...Truk... liveaboard... Those I think are on my bucket list. GBR wouldn’t suck as part of an Australia/NZ trip.
Love the stories in this thread. Keep at it. Nothing beats a 5 dive day (2 in AM, 2 in PM, 1 night) followed by fresh seafood and an ice cold local beer (or rum drink).
