I have been super busy over the past few months with a big domestic project, which I hopefully will find some time to blog about in the coming months. Suffice to say for now that we are building the dream ;^)
I have had a couple of photo essays published in Scuba Diving Magazine since I last blogged. January’s instalment was all about diving the wonderful Liberty Wreck in Tulamben, Bali.
And just published a few days ago – a piece about Diving With The Kids – which shares images and stories about how our three daughters came to be certified and ultimately very competent divers. I also tried to offer some insights into deciding when your kids are ready, and some of the risks attached to diving with your youngsters.
About Judy G Diver
Born and raised on the west coast of Canada, I have always felt a strong connection to the sea. But for many years, I stayed on the surface, afraid of what lurked down deep. When I was in my early 30's, with three young children (aka the P's), my husband (aka Mr G) signed us up for a SCUBA certification course, as a surprise. Although I had my fears, my stubbornness prevailed, and somehow I made it through four murky, frigid, cold water dives in Vancouver to successfully pass the course. Soon after we went diving off the west coast of Mexico, in the Sea of Cortez, where my eyes were opened to the beauty and other-worldliness of the life down under.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
I currently have well over 2000 dives under the belt, and I have been fortunate to travel and dive in Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Fiji, Palau, Philippines, Galapagos, Costa Rica, Hawaii, California, Egypt, Mexico, several islands in the Caribbean, and here in British Columbia.
In addition to this blog and my personal website (Awoosh.com/Directory), which is linked at the top of the blog, my stuff has been published in a variety of magazines and websites, including a regular monthly feature for Scubadiving Magazine for several years. All links to this work can be found in this blog.
