When we returned to the states we looked around for local certification. After a huge series of mishaps we finally managed to get some real training (and learned that the resort course left out a lot of scary details) and in April of 2000 we finally got our PADI Open Water Diver certifications.
So far our only diving has been in Cozumel (been back once, great place), the pool and France Park (a quarry in North Central Indiana).
There are some diving pictures under the Trips Page.
