I wonder how close the highway passes near our friend Jason?<br /><br />My brother has a PADI certification. I wonder what the difference is. Whatever they are, I'm sure we can find a way to find common ground.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. And the great comments.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04210441627504923976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797649961140618008.post-90147564190959073882010-04-24T17:03:12.153-05:002010-04-24T17:03:12.153-05:00Pete:

I have an idea for another one that might interest you though: I'll call it the Revisting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_41" rel="nofollow">Highway 41</a> project. In 1968, our family took a station wagon vacation from Madison all the way down to Key West. Most of the trip was Route 41. My dad liked that route because he had driven it back and forth between Fort Campbell and Madison before the I-system was built. <br />Of course the end goal was diving in Florida and there are many photos to go with.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797649961140618008.post-69529283141265324012010-04-24T16:02:43.691-05:002010-04-24T16:02:43.691-05:00Pete:
So you're a NAUI man. I'm a PADI man...Pete:<br />So you're a NAUI man. I'm a PADI man (class of '75). Like the classic Oxford vs. Cambridge, we'll just have to disagree on certain things. :) <br /><br />I don't think the shop I learned from (Fontana Army Navy in Madison) exists anymore because a simple googling returns nada. I do know the name of my instructors, John Hutchison and Jeff Biedermann, thanks to my trusty log book.<br /><br /><i>was green because of the absorption of the red portion of the color spectrum at that depth.</i><br /><br />At that depth, there is little visible red light to reflect off the blood and be perceived by your eye. Things appear the complimentary color. <br /><br />I've thought of taking up diving again because of (1) where I live and (2) my son has an interest. At this point I'll wait until he's a bit older. I would need to take a recertification/refresher course and of course he would need to get certified.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.com
