SCUBAing







I'm crossing one more thing off my bucket list. Learning to SCUBA dive.

I finally decided I'd waited long enough, and after a snorkeling trip that left me wanting more, I made that leap and signed up for a class. Once I enrolled, I emailed our outdoors editor and asked him a few questions about where to buy gear and stuff. He emailed me back and asked me if I'd be interested in writing a first-person story about learning to dive for Gulf & Bay, our outdoors section.

The story runs today in the paper. And Ted McLaren, our fabulous web photo editor and an accomplished diver himself, asked me to write a little piece for the St. Pete Times' photo blog "All Eyes" on a very specific scene from my dive in the Gulf.
