Hi all!
I just got back from diving in Bon Aire again. As you recall, I was there this past January. At that time I did 14 dives. This time I completed 9 more. That brings my lifetime total logged dives to 156. In January I was lucky enough to be there with a group from Toronto called Freedom at Depth, Canada. They were here again and continued to help the whole movement gain momentum. This time I was with the founder of the Handicapped Scuba Association (HSA) and his crew. Jim Gatacre was there celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of the HSA. As expected, there were lots of great handi-divers and instructors from all over the world. The groups from Italy (www.hsaitalia.it) and Norway (www.handikap.no) truly enlightened us with their presence.  In addition to great diving and fellowship, a great seminar was held. These presentations generated lots of brain-storming all week long. We discussed the usual topics but with many additional international perspectives. We discussed our history, our current plans as well as our future hopes.
Let's go diving more--- the year is only half over!
