Welcome to the board, Shrimpy.  Way cool on your accomplishments!  Hopefully next summer, we can get you and your mom up to ore b gone with Paul's granddaughter, who got certified a couple of summers ago...I think she's 12.  (She's pretty cute, by the way.  For a girl, that is ;D ;D ;D)

Hey Shrimpy---
Nice job!!!  keep up the good work..how does it feel to be a scuba diver?...make sure you brag to all of your friends at school and everywhere else you go.  Your mom can help with that one...

regarding the bc and cobra....nah...best to get started on the right foot....tell mom that you really want a set of twin 50's and a back plate and harness..or maybe go right to a dry suit.....it may be time for a paper route though...

You have started a voyage in your life..do your best to follow it through.  Just make sure you do it as safely as possible.  I look forward to diving with you this summer.....WAY TO GO!

Oh yeah.............

Girl have cooties ;D

hey shrimpy, can't wait to see you up in crosby. just be sure your mom brings chillie  >

Girls do not have cooties....They drown when we dive!!!

Ok,,,there is your out...you have to start smooching other 10 year old girls..THAT DIVE...because the other girls have cooties

OK folks.  Lets get it straight   the   kid is not a girl.     He is a super diver.  I should know I was his dive master.   

Let  me tell you my observation of this young man.  He is almost 11.    He has perfect buoyancy.  He is very comfortable underwater as well as above water.  He has lots of experience already.  He breezed through his classes and underwater skills tests as he was taught for the most part by his mother and one of the nicest people I know, Stephanie, who was his Padi Seal Instructor. 

He had a very good instructor for his class room and pool part and a dive master that has the patience of a saint.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST MEMBERSHIP CLUB SHRIMPY,  Membership does have its privileges.

BUT MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME...  to something like Shark MAN.  or  Cave Dweller, or ONE-WITH-THE-GILL.  ALthough I  have TM these names, I would clearly give you a lic. to use and advance the above great names.       SHRIMPY,  doesn't fit your personality.

PS....  thanks again for the nice tip for being your dive master.

Hey Shrimpy (Mason)!

Glad to see you are learning how to use the mnboard!
You are going to make an awesome diver one day, starting out so young!
Rumor has it that your momma grew up on the Great Lakes and your Grandpa use to dive the great lakes as she watched on?
Now you wont have to be sitting in that dive boat or hanging around the opening of those caves waiting for her and your brother to come up!
You're going to be one of them!
See a little birdie told me, that your Mom use to throw all her dive gear into a pile in the middle of the living room every night and tell you, you had 3 minutes to fully assemble it. Those little drills will now pay off!

  Dive safe. Play safe. and Make a million memories.
Maybe one day you too, will pass this legacy on to a 4th generation!
       
               Your new Dive buddy,
                                             Amy
