Hi everyone, I did it, I had my interview after the pool time.

Who says dreams can't come true?

You're an inspiration to all of us.

I started diving after being on a glass bottom boat tour and said to myself after seeing 2 divers suiting up, "I'm healthy, i've got 2 good legs so I have no excuse to be on this boat looking at a wreck from the comfort of this cabin (and through foggy glass)..."

And here you are.

Makes me feel like I should try harder with everything in my life.

Sometimes the rest of us need a kick to realise how easy we have it.

One time I almost quit the first day on the "Ride The Rockies" 500 mile through-the-mountains-of-Colorado bicycle tour while chugging up a 14,000 foot mountain pass *gasp* and feeling nauseous from the lack of oxygen. I had stopped by the side of the road to wait for the "Sag Wagon" to take me back to camp.

Then I got passed by a group of riders on "hand cycles".

I got back on that bike and finished every day and never complained again after that.
