Scuba Diving – It’s Never Too Late!

108 Comments / Travel Blog / By

Back in December of 2011, Karen Schmitt’s husband Bob, who got certified in 1962, had just retired and was looking for new travel adventures. This is when he finally convinced Karen to “take the plunge” and get Open Water certified, and look how far she has come!

“When I began the Open Water course I was pretty sure I would be a drop out. The instructors at OE were patient and I made it through with the help of OE’s talented instructors” said Karen.

Karen took most of her certifications with PADI Master Instructor Ed Lavin, and also took a few, including Rescue, with PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer Ryan Mable (pictured with Karen above).

Because Karen finally let Bob convince her to dive, she has since dove in more incredible places in the world that most people can dream of diving in their lifetime! Her impressive resume includes New Caledonia, Fiji, Vanuatu, Borneo, Palau (x3), Komodo, Raja Ampat, La Paz, Belize, Philippines, Roatan, Marquesas Islands, Cook Islands, Bora Bora, Moorea, Fakarava, Cozumel, Los Barriles, and she will even be adding Cuba this month! Wow!

Since being Open Water certified, Karen has logged 183 dives and never imagined not only having that many dives 5 years later, but also never pictured becoming a Master Diver! When asked what her most memorable experience in diving has been so far, Karen said “Diving Raja Ampat was amazing, but the most memorable part of diving was getting to know fellow divers on the 10 OE dive adventures we have taken”. Pictured here is Karen on an Ocean Enterprises Travel group trip in Raja Ampat in February of 2015.

We are so proud of how far Karen has come and we are excited to see her continue her scuba and travel adventures with us here at Ocean Enterprises. Congratulations Karen!

    Sorry for jumping in here, but I wanted to leave this thought here. Health is woven into ordinary life more deeply than many people think, and it has a lot to do with how the body and mind get through the day. The difficult part is that guidance is now coming from every direction, and a larger amount of guidance can still create confusion. Much of that starts with simplified explanations, and people start treating summaries like complete answers. That is when the gap becomes obvious, because real responses depend on the person, not just the rule. That is usually when body feedback starts becoming noticeable, through patterns that may look minor but still matter. That is why real progress usually starts with attention, watching cause and effect unfold over time, so that change is grounded in context. This is exactly where a broader health discussion helps, because it helps connect body signals with real explanation. So if you are trying to make better sense of health information, the next thing that makes sense to examine is revatio in older adults.

    промокоды 7к казино без депозита Промокоды и бездепозитные бонусы – это, безусловно, очень привлекательная штука для любого игрока. С одной стороны, это отличная возможность попробовать новое казино или конкретный слот без риска для собственного кошелька. С другой – это реальный шанс что-то выиграть, пусть и с определенными условиями по отыгрышу. Я всегда стараюсь использовать такие предложения, когда они появляются. Важно только внимательно изучать вейджер и другие правила, чтобы потом не было сюрпризов. Но в целом, это очень выгодный инструмент для увеличения своих шансов и просто для получения удовольствия от игры.

    промокоды париматч без депозита Чаще всего бездепозитные бонусы по промокодам предоставляются в виде фриспинов (бесплатных вращений) на определенных игровых автоматах или небольшой суммы реальных денег. Эти средства или вращения можно использовать для игры, а выигранные деньги, при соблюдении условий отыгрыша, вывести на свой счет. Именно вейджер (количество раз, которое необходимо отыграть сумму бонуса) является ключевым параметром, определяющим реальную ценность такого предложения. Чем ниже вейджер, тем проще игроку будет превратить бонусные средства в реальные деньги.
