A collection of transformation, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.
THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
After a twelve hour day filled with dives, swimming with more sea turtles, chapter quizzes and a final exam…It’s OFFICIAL! Brian and I are now PADI Certified Open Water SCUBA DIVERS!! Hooray!!!
I’ve got a handful of more stories to share, but I’ll have to post more later. I think the anxiety over the test wore me out, and I’m hitting the hay early tonight. Man, I haven’t had to deal with test anxiety in a long time! But it was worth it.
Mom, remember when I dreamed of being a scuba diver and marine biologist! That was way back in high school! Can you believe I finally got certified!!

Congrats on your certification! Scuba is a very wonderful and addictive activity. My husband fell in love with it so much that he became a scuba instructor. I still haven’t tried underwater photography but I’m anxious to try it. Maybe on our next trip to Bonaire!

I got certified in cold Canadian waters. I’m guessing Thailand is a far better way to do it! Congrats!

Super Fun! Can’t wait to see some underwater pics.

Congrats!! I took my children to the zoo today and we saw some Gibbons. One was “singing” and I thought of your jungle adventures. It would be unnerving at first to hear that w/o bars between them and my bed, but what a BEAUTIFUL sound!! 🙂 Hope you’ve gotten to see some by now.
