My wife and I did a resort course in Grand Cayman two weeks ago and I loved it. Dande (my wife) got alittle nervous when she was on the bottom at 21 feet ( sunset) forr me to clear my ears and the instructor took her to the surface. On the surface he said she looked ok and she ageed she could go down again, but said she did not want to hold things up. So she got on the boat. What a great time down there, I guess just breathing underwater was accomplishment!!!
When i returned to the boat Dande had a big smile on her face!!!

Afew days later Dande said she would stay on the beach while I went out to dive the Chubb Hole on the eastside. This time I got to go down to 40 feet and see schools of 4-5 foot tarpen and swim through caverns. I am hook!!!
At the present time I am looking at dive shop so Dande and I can get certified. I know Dande would get alot more comfortable with more time in a "real" class. I hope so!!!
As we own a timeshare in the Caymans with a dive shop located right there, it only mkes sense to do 2 tank dives in the morning and sit on the beach in the afternon!!!!
Just wanted you all to know there will be two more dives in MN sometime this year.

Awesome! Glad you found the site... looking forward to hearing the progress you two make. Keep your eyes on the Diving Get Togethers section to see where people are going, it's always a good time. Most people here are comfortable diving with 'newbies' as well, so don't let that deter you from coming.

Welcome!

Hey Ronder,
If that was your and your wifes first time under the water with scuba or otherwise, don't be disheartned when you drop into a Minnesota Lake or quarry, at -40' it will be a little darker than the water in the Caymans, but, you dive Minnesota, you dive anywhere much easier!
