I've had a few discussions with other FlyerTalkers recently and I've come to realize that there are quite a bit of us who SCUBA. Naturally, I put the quintessential FlyerTalk gathering together with a hobby I really enjoy and I come up with "SCUBA-DO".
I'd like to see if there's any interest in such an event. I figure with all the frequent flyer miles some of us seem to rack up, sometimes we just can't find a good enough excuse to blow them. Pehaps this could be one.
If you are a SCUBA diver (or will be) and think this would be a good idea, please post here. Post ideas about how to get something like this going, where to hold the event, etc. I searched the forums here and did not find a previous DO involving SCUBA, but I did notice a lot of FlyerTalkers dive. Why not give this a try?
If this takes off at all, I'll probably need some help organizing such a thing as my organizing skills are basically non-existent. I'm what they call an "idea man".
Thanks!
My wife and I are both certified, but a couple of caveats:
1. It's been many years since I've been diving, and I'd probably want a refresher (or a certified dive master along), before I'd go out in the ocean.
2. My wife HATES cold-water diving (she considers the Channel Islands off California cold water).
