CONGRATULATIONS to Doug & Kelly as they finally finished their PADI certification! Soon, we’ll be able to dive with them!

We’re back!

We were in Puerto Rico to celebrate the wedding of our friends Doug & Kelly and to have a dive vacation for ourselves.

On Sunday, August 24, 2003, Wendy & I went diving at Natural Springs Resort in New Paris, Ohio.

This was a significant event for two reasons. First, it was the first time Wendy & I dove alone, and secondly, it was the first time we got to use our new dive computers.

We had a blast, and completed two short dives (the tanks we rented were pretty small) over to the rock wall on the far side of the lake. Visability was good; when we were 20 feet down, you could look up the rock wall and see it extend above the waterline (which is a very cool view).
