THE TRAVELER

This year I thought maybe I will island hop in the Caribbean since it is so much closer than S.E. Asia. I am starting in the Cayman Islands and heading south through the Caribbean, checking out a few of the best dive sites. I also plan to visit the Galapagos and then spend a month or two in Buenos Aires studying the Argentine tango. As it turned out I also did a dive in Tierra del Fuego, La Fin dell Mundo, probably as close to Antartica as I will ever get. It was one of the most thrilling dives of my career.

Never too old
I am a very senior scuba diver and I am finishing up a five month scuba diving trip in SE Asia. I just finished my one hundredth dive since the start of the trip in April. I was certified in 1986 but didn't dive regularly until after my last child was born, when I was forty (I have seven). This is not my first trip to Asia; I dove in Palawan - Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia, and have taken dive trips to Cozumel, Canada, Malta, Bonaire, Honduras and Bahama, and have done dives in the Black Sea - Bulgaria, and Epcot Center in Florida. I tell people we dive where ever there is a puddle.... full info
