Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Wow Tina I cant believe it is almost Hawaii time for you ! you will have so much fun there, my husband loves so scuba dive and for me i find it to claustrophobic or something but i love to snorkel ! the last time we were in hawaii the instructor on the boat was so impressed with Rons knowledge that he let him start suiting up and helping the others so they could spend more time in the ocean ! I think you will enjoy it ColleenPamela A Marsh wrote: Wow Tina! That is great. I wish you well with thecertification and on your vacation in Hawaii!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 The ultimate in my book with dives and snorkeling is with sea turtles or dolphins, totally a plus ! I am feeling much better , thanks I still dont have all the answers, but i am working on some second opinions, and i just tire easily from being anemic but hopefully when my blood is built back up that will all go away, went to the gym yesterday and i am no where where i use to be on the treadmill, but going and doing something is better than not going and not doing anything right ! enjoy your classes, i think you will have fun, and congrats on your progress colleenTina wrote: Yup, Hawaii is almost here and I'm so excited. I'm a little nervous about the diving certification classes (that start tomorrow). I love to swim but I'm not quite sure how I'll do with the diving. I'm sure it'll be fine...it's just something new so it's a little scary.I'll take lots of photos while diving when I'm in Hawaii. We've never been before so we have lots of site seeing to do!Are you feeling better these days?Tina>> > Wow Tina> I cant believe it is almost Hawaii time for you ! you will have so much fun there, my husband loves so scuba dive and for me i find it to claustrophobic or something but i love to snorkel ! the last time we were in hawaii the instructor on the boat was so impressed with Rons knowledge that he let him start suiting up and helping the others so they could spend more time in the ocean !
