Success!

   It's not officially official until I get the card in the mail in a week or two, but... I can't hold this news any longer.

   This metallic green sticker on my application means I've met all of the requirements to become a certified, professional Divemaster!

   I started my training shortly after I returned from Roatan nearly one year ago. It has been a long, challenging, fun, and exciting road. I'm thrilled to have achieved this honor and hope someday it will be part of my plan for retirement, as well as my lifelong hobby.
