I have been in a slump after coming home from the most amazing two weeks of my life! And I think getting Married to the most wonderful woman in the world is a great time to make a major change in OUR life. Im not sure when, or how long. You know me, I will take an opportunity if it’s worth it.

It’s time for a new location is in need, somewhere warm all the time.
Sun and Fun! lol not Cold and Dumb.

I really dont like being sad and it makes my wife sad so I will not be depressed and feel good about everything. it’s the best time of my life! So starting NOW…NOW! LOL I will have a positive outlook on the next two years (inside joke).

I hope it’s a less than 1 year plan… but Spring time is here and nice warm summer will be here very soon. Im going to take advantage of every second. So Niels if your reading this…. there will be lots of exterior house work! Im not pointing out Niels, it’s just that things seem to get built 4x faster when he is around. Im 115lb… not much strength. LOL

Time to “This Old House” our house and life.
I love you Becky!

And to my depressing attitude! This is what I say to you!

Diving is a very new sport to both Me and my Wife but this was one of the worst experiences ever. Especially since we convinced some of our friends to try it with us.

It’s a long rant but it’s worth it.

Remember, this is only about a company called AquaWorld in Mexico.
They are one of the biggest companies out there for diving and other water sports.

1. Equipment (BCD, Tanks, 1st Stage, and regulators were all in VERY poor condition) One of our friends (a certified diver with over 70 dives, this is the 1st time he has ever experienced this problem) equipment failed, not just the main regulator but at the tank valve area itself. It was not the Tank but a VERY dirty 1st stage. Both regulators failed and the pressure gauges showed very little PSI and moved while breathing (this is only about 15min after getting in the water). He was fortunately close to my wife so he was able to grab her 2nd regulator and they both surfaced. This cut their dive short.

The Dive master did not apologize or help any bit. Even after the dive none of the crew gave a damn, all they did was replace the unit and that was it. My friend was having some headaches because he surfaced a bit too fast but of course none of the Crew cared. This dive was on May 6th, 2006

Fortunately My Wife and Friend are both certified so they were able to stay calm and surface, but if this happened to anyone of our other friends (Resort divers) it could have ended very badly.

2. On another dive two of our BCD’s failed, I had to repair mine by myself while under water. My friends was so damaged she had to get assistance by another diver because she could not stay afloat. She did the Resort Diving cert and this was her 1st dive! This dive was on May 3th 2006. And again, NO one from the Crew or AquaWorld gave a damn about us.

3. Our dive on May 6h, 2006 was in a “cliff” area (Los Palmas, Cozumel), most of us were flying within a day and some of us were also resort divers anyway so we were not certified for anything below 10m. I noticed that I did not have a depth gauge so I asked to replace my gauge. They gave me a new depth gauge (I reset the max setting knob).
After surfacing I noticed that we maxed out at 65 feet (19.82m)!!!!! We were following the Dive master the whole time!!

Again the crew on the boat did not apologize or help our friends that were in distress.

Both my wife and I have done 7 tank dives with AquaWorld and will never deal with AquaWorld Because of the poor equipment supplied to us. I don’t feel safe with AquaWorld and will never refer AquaWorld to anyone.

I hope ANYONE thinking of diving with them seriously think twice about it.

I have notified AquaWorld (but of course have not gotten any reply from them) but I also notified PADI about this. PADI has replied to me (very quickly) and started an investigation.

Thanks for reading my post. And I hope this helps

This was one of the most amazing weddings I have ever been to.
At the Beach, in Mexico with all of your friends! You can’t ask for more.
Everything was so nice, the location was amazing. Every guest (couple) had their own hut.
Even the ceiling was made from straw! You can see some sunlight shinging through the roof in the morning.
