Sparky, I remembered hearing that you were going to splash with Riley. I know you weren't planning on going deep but I came across a couple of articles I thought you'd find useful:

Diving and Kids
HEy Calvin :

what I was going to do was let him have my octo while we played around on the surface he dont like to have his face wet and I was not going to let him go down or any thing just play around with my grand son but he fell asleep in the truck on the way to the dive site and I ended up doing a solo dive LOL

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.

Kids are great! 
I'm diving tomorrow AM with one of my girls @ Harper. Got them both certified Jr. OW 3 yrs ago when they were 11 (twins), and one has taken to it so much that she wants to be a marine biologist.
(Thats the one I'm diving with tomorrow)
She's the type that gets so determined that it would take an act of the Almighty to change her mind - so I think she's pretty much found a calling.
The low viz & cool water are new to her, but she's coming along nicely.

Hey Sparky, this wouldn't have been because you got to the dive site at 1 or 2 AM would it?!?sparky wrote: ...my grand son but he fell asleep in the truck on the way to the dive site and I ended up doing a solo dive LOL

Hey, let's go divin'! We need to put together an outing to Sund Rock, or plan enough ahead of time where Bassman and myself head down there when tides are cooperative.

The dive was fantastic for her!! :wav: She's getting very comfortable with the PS conditions, viz was pretty decent today too. She was fascinated by the variety of things she saw. Looks like I've got a ready-made dive buddy!diver-dad wrote:Kids are great!

Now I've gotta get the wife out there!
One of these days I've gotta hook up with you guys on the East Side of the Sound.
Take care!

That's cool, DD. Yeah, we should dive together sometime soon- Wednesday evenings are pretty reliable. We might be coaxed over your way some weekend, too!
