Divemaster Quest Part I


Step 1: Generate support. I'm a 24 year navy Vet, I've Commanded a Nuclear Submarine, I've commanded men in battle, but at home I've only made it to First mate! Soooo...to avoid all out mutiny I've enlisted my Crew (my sons) into my quest. Both boys are now Open Water Qualified and I have them jazzed up to certify Advanced open water next month and we've penciled in Rescue Diver in August! That support and the lure of more travel to exotic places has softened my bride to the crazy idea of opening my own shop.

Now, my lovely wife enjoys watching the water from shore or the balcony of a 100,000 ton cruise ship, but do not ask her to actually get in the water. (and yes she married a sailor...never underestimate the power of charm and a uniform!) How do I take advantage of this softening of heart to seal the deal? Any advice?

Tomorrow My youngest and I will dive Lake Rawlings VA. Supposed to be the clearest lake on the eastern Seaboard. Since this son has not done much diving, we will be boning up on basic skills.
