  1. There are a few ways to deal with corrective lenses. I have a friend that just dives with his contacts in instead of glasses ( not what I would think is the best idea but he has never had a problem. My father in law also has had corrective lenses installed for his mask with good results also.

  2. Stacy,

     

    Being a strong swimmer definately is an advantage for diving but not a requirement. My wife got certified with me & she is not a strong swimmer. If you are going to try to get certified you may struggle one of the competencies with removing & putting your weight belt back on. (Maybe not though as I am a far stronger swimmer than my wife & she smoked me at that one. ) Do a little research on the dive shops around as good ones with a pool in house most often will take you for a private session to try on some equipment & play around in the pool before you commit to diving certification. I know of a person that wanted to get certified until they actually got in the water with the gear and hated it, but I also know of a couple of people personally that didn't think that they could do it & fell in love with the sport. :)

     

    I personally think that there is nothing cooler than sharing your passion with reefs, fish, ect. with a spouse or loved one than being 50 ft under water with them holding their hand and watching the beauty of the sea. That is something that you can not get from a fish tank and something you will talk about for a long time. We have taken some cool vacations since we have gotten certified & almost always a dive from the vacation sticks out in my mind as one the most memorable moments.

     

    If you are seriously thinking about it now is a good time to get started. If you are going to get certified locally then late summer is the best time for your dives. The weather is much warmer for your surface time between dives.

     

    Sorry to have rambled on but I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any question you like & myself or someone else will answer.

  3. I am an addict to my xbox at times. We even have gaming weekends 3 or 4 times a year where we rent a condo or check into a hotel suite & game for 3 days with 6-8 guys. Even have one coming up next month. Can't wait.
