Funny, given that I had no TV, I thought I would update more.  I suppose it&#8217;s a testament to the fabulous time that I had that I barely thought to open up my laptop.  I did pass my entire scuba certification training course, and did a total of four ocean dives, which were awesome.  The deepest that I went was 60 feet underwater, and I saw some of the most unbelievable things.
