If anyone cares, I got my Abe Davis in 1979, the same year the program started.

To tie this altogether ;-)
I got into diving WITH my girls. We all liked it so we did it a lot (OW, AOW, Rescue, trips to lakes, Coz and Keys.) So, I got gear for all of us.
So, in my case, by the time I finished AOW, I had all my cave regulators :-D

With a trailer able to hold two bales I don't get any dirty looks.

Russell, we want you to join us at Jackson Blue when Kelsey does her first post-intro cave dive.

My wife still hasn't decided to learn to dive. But we're hoping. She doen't mind being surface support, someone needs to drive the boat during a Rainbow drift dive.

I was living in Bucks County PA that year working as a beekeeper. I have no doubt that if I had been introduced to cave diving back then I would be as fascinated as I am now and trying to figure out how to move to Florida.

We've been following the same course. I got tired of putting on and taking off the octopus from my left post reg so I finally bought a second dedicated OW reg. For the past two years I have been spending my sock money building an outfit for my oldest daughter for cave diving. The only thing missing is the C-Card and after Manatee season she wants to take cavern. She doesn't like to admit that she gets cold and wants a drysuit, but she'll have to decide when she's cold enough to spend her own money on that.

I am SO there!

Hmmm. Now I am getting worried about me. Sometimes, my family prefers that I leave and go diving. Not sure what that could mean.

You are too funny! You're such a prime example of a guy with a wonderful family life who still goes cave diving and totally flushes Puttzer's argument down the toilet!

Ha!! Don't read too much into it. Last night my wife and daughters wanted to watch a movie that they had bought at the FYE going out of business sale. I asked "what movie?" and was told "It's a chick flic :smt060, Dad. Go find something else :smt071to watch." They all like Horses & Riding and shopping with Ann's mom. They tell me to do something else:divingiconwhen they do those things.

Congratulations............Dive Safe and Have Fun!
