Im open and Rescue diver certified with NAUI out of South Padre Island. During the summers i work as a Rescue Diver in a 15 foot deep salt water tank in a Water park. Some may have been to it. Its called SEA TREK and its inside the SCHLITTERBAHN BEACH WATERPARK in South Padre Island Texas. We take up to 5 people at a time underwater in helmets that give you 3x the air you need above water and 2 of us "safety divers" take you on a tour of the aquarium showing you all the species of fish, sting rays, take pictures and all that stuff. Its a great job i love it.
We've got guitar rays, sting rays, red snapper, catfish, tarpon, trout, pufferfish, an octopus, hermit craps ( we use as fish food sometimes) Sheepshead, angelfish, and alot more that we add everyweek. If anyone ever plans a trip to South Padre During the Summer ( open only during summer.. From mid May til late August) i would recommend this to any family. Its a great way to get your kids (ages 7 and up) interested in sea life and diving, and its a great way to see some fish upclose and handle stingrays if you dont want to bother going offshore for an entire day.

Advanced PADI diver in Denver. Love to Ski, Raft, Hike, Climb, etc. so My brother and I make a pilgrimage to one of our 10 favorite sites for one week a year. Wish I could go more, DAMN JOB.
Been diving since 1995. About 150 dives since the - about 15 per year - mostly in the Carribean. Been to Roatan 5 times, BVI's 3x, Florida (cenotes/springs), Cayman 3x, and the Grenadines.
Dreaming of that extended trip to Palau, Pelileau, and Truk.
Easy to get to the Carribean from TX. 2 hours to Roatan direct- can't beat that.
