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!

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
