Cultural Experiences in Diving

The store was busy today! Mitch (far right) had stories to share with some divers from Yugoslovia; especially since he's just days from travelling there to see family! If that's not ironic enough, they're currently living and working in Toronto where Mitch's wife used to call home... it's such a small (but fun) world!

And then came Andy whose from Birmingham, England! It turns out that Andy lives 20 minutes north of Canary Warf where my brother used to live!

I still had to put him through the paces with his 200 yard swim... my joke about shaving 10 seconds off of his lap time was really my subliminal hint to prepare him for at least his Rescue Diver training! ;-)

Frank (top, center) is a peer instructor student with me who joined Mitch to lead an entire class of new Open Water divers-to-be.

Another great weekend of meeting future dive buddies!
