Hi guys more good news!

[MattTheAquaman]

I did 17 minutes under the water today, it was a blast! I can’t wait for when I get up to 30 minutes or more, and I am also anxiously awaiting for when I can flip over onto my stomach in the pool under the water as well. That’s going to be a ton of fun. If all goes well I hope to do a dive at Wazee Lake next year at the DUI DOG Rally and Demo days. That would be awesome, I can handle the cooler water, won’t be a problem. That should be a great place to dive with lots of help. I’ll pass on ice diving though

I added some pictures to here from my dive today….. http://matt55125.tripod.com/scuba/
I was hoping to add the videos but I am out of space on my web site! We got some pretty good ones, I didn’t have air in my mask this time, it was a little foggy unfortunately. I need to get my own rig. I’m hooked on diving.

Take care and hope to see you underwater soon!

Hi FW, yep determination sure pays off when you want something bad enough. I can't wait for the next dive, only 10 days to go!

Take care,

Hi all,

By the way I posted one video on the video page on my web site of my last dive. It might take a couple minutes to load depending on your internet connection. Here's the link to that page... http://www.scubadivingdream.com/scubadivingpage7.html

I'm gonna try to change the video from time to time, so that people can see them all.

Take care and safe diving,
Matt

Way to go Matt. Life only gets better when one has the determination that you possess. Looking forward to reading that first dive report from you 8)

Matt, that is one heck of a milestone my friend! Really starting to get some bottom time now. Congrats are in order I'd say.
As always, you are such an inspiration Matt. Hang in there buddy.

Hi DeWayne

Hi Jason B.

Hey thanks for the encouragement. Hearing all these messages makes me feel awesome. Take care, I can't wait for all the upcoming milestones either!

Hearing all these messages makes me feel awesome.

And for every person that posts a "way to go!" post, there's at least another three or four lurkers (like me, generally) silently rooting for you. Keep at it! I've told my friends and family about your quest, and they're all rooting for you as well.

I might be a bit redundant in saying this, but make sure you let us all know when you plan to do your first open water dive. I know many of us would like to be there to cheer you on.
