As we go deeper, we learn more about the wonders the world holds just as we begin to recognize our own hidden gifts and those everyday treasures.
Since my first Fun Dives off of Isla del Rosario, Cartagena, Colombia, I’ve been HOOKED!! The summer of 1997 my Dive Master allowed me to go down to view a sunken tanker. For me, it was The Titanic!! The love affair with diving had begun.
These dives, going down maximum 30 meters with Nitrox at 30% – 70%, allowed us even longer meanderings over Hold #4, hit by two German bombs Oct. 6, 1941; through Holds 3-1 where transport vehicles, motorcycles, trucks and even the remains of a locomotive were visible. These dives changed my life!!

While catching up with childhood best friend, Emmett Dunbar and family, his mother, Kit Tobin, was reminded of taking a Scuba courses with Jacques Cousteau in Newport, RI’s Naval College back in the 1970s. Some may be angry at the master of Scuba for his recklessness towards antiquities and questionable environmental record [see minute 1:45 – 2:00 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VdVKOPt-FU ] –
Others may disagree with his seeming disregard for collaboration, pilfering dozens of artifacts and samples, but his rediscovery of the SS Thistlegorm – and subsequently hiding its coordinates away from others for more than 20 years, proves to continue to inspire and excite those willing to suit up and dive in!
