years ago...fricken loved it. I have way too many sinus issues now to use it anymore so I stick to snorkelling. You'll enjoy it I bet.

I dived before in St Thomas and I'm going to dive again in a week in Turks and Caicos. But im not certified so I have to have a guide. Might as well get certified and do it my self you know?

Did it back in the mid 90's. Only went a few times because I got married not too long after that and my wife has zero interest in it. Then real life came fast with owning my own business and kids so doing it again is only a dream now. My plan is to get back into it when the kids get older and life slows down again.

My best dive was Cozumel. We went down to 75 feet and I could still make out the lettering and prop on the boat, the water was so clear. Amazing experience.

You should have taken it while in college. It was 3 credit hours and $50 for certification at UNC Charlotte.

$900 is ridiculous. Are you buying the equipment? The professor I had for scuba at Charlotte said it was foolish to buy your own gear. Only buy the mask, snorkle, and fins. Everything else is not only expensive, but it costs more to travel with if you're flying than it does to rent once you get to your destination.

Been diving for 10 years now. I have dove in just about every major island in the Caribbean. Also been diving all up and down the east coast, along with lakes and quarries. I own all of my own equipment, and when I married my wife, I had her take classes so that we could go diving on our honeymoon.

I agree wit your professor, only buy the mask, fins, and snorkle. It is an awesome sport, and not many people can say that they have been diving. It is really expensive, and you must keep yourself active in doing it at least once a year.

Open Water Adventures in Charlotte is a great dive shop. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the QC. Good luck! It is an awesome thing!

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
