I'm a writer and a writing teacher, and I'm heading to Utila in 36 days to do a divemaster internship with Utila Dive Center, and then to do my IDC from July 8-22.
Whoa. What a big step. Right now, I'm a rescue diver with a little over 100 dives, and almost all have been in the Caribbean, except for a few in south-central Alaska this March.
I'm currently living in Fairbanks, Alaska, and while I'm no stranger to island living, having spent 2006-8 living on beautiful St. Kitts, I couldn't be more excited to get back down to the tropics for sea, surf and sunshine.
Why am I doing this advanced diving education?
Don't know. I haven't quite worked that part out yet. I only can say that I have a picture in my head of my perfect life, and these are just two of baby steps I'm taking in that general direction. Mountains get climbed by putting one foot in front of the other. As far as I know, there's no other way to reach the top.

See you there!
My wife and I are going to be at UDC getting our instructor cert this summer as well. We are going to be in the August IDC, but will be getting our DM while you are in your IDC. Hope to see you there!
