years ago...fricken loved it. I have way too many sinus issues now to use it anymore so I stick to snorkelling. You'll enjoy it I bet.

I dived before in St Thomas and I'm going to dive again in a week in Turks and Caicos. But im not certified so I have to have a guide. Might as well get certified and do it my self you know?

Did it back in the mid 90's. Only went a few times because I got married not too long after that and my wife has zero interest in it. Then real life came fast with owning my own business and kids so doing it again is only a dream now. My plan is to get back into it when the kids get older and life slows down again.

My best dive was Cozumel. We went down to 75 feet and I could still make out the lettering and prop on the boat, the water was so clear. Amazing experience.

You should have taken it while in college. It was 3 credit hours and $50 for certification at UNC Charlotte.

$900 is ridiculous. Are you buying the equipment? The professor I had for scuba at Charlotte said it was foolish to buy your own gear. Only buy the mask, snorkle, and fins. Everything else is not only expensive, but it costs more to travel with if you're flying than it does to rent once you get to your destination.

Been diving for 10 years now. I have dove in just about every major island in the Caribbean. Also been diving all up and down the east coast, along with lakes and quarries. I own all of my own equipment, and when I married my wife, I had her take classes so that we could go diving on our honeymoon.

I agree wit your professor, only buy the mask, fins, and snorkle. It is an awesome sport, and not many people can say that they have been diving. It is really expensive, and you must keep yourself active in doing it at least once a year.

Open Water Adventures in Charlotte is a great dive shop. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the QC. Good luck! It is an awesome thing!

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
