My story? MY STORY?!?! I live a double life – day to day, I am an ordinary registered nurse, a wife, a mother, and to many, a pain in their butt! But on a dive trip? The true inner blonde surfaces! 17 years ago, I took a diving course as I needed a P.E. credit to graduate. Wanted golf but I was scheduled to graduate in December. Golf wasn’t offered in this snow covered high altitude desert. At least not in the winter! So I jumped in…literally! Had some “lovely” experiences and then became the “casual” diver. I met John, my husband, and realized we had diving in common. The natural progression was to dive more, then more again, and then to become an assistant dive instructor! What? Me? Then, one fateful trip to Roatan, Honduras, these guys picked us up………..a whole group of guys! One being the infamous Tony Wiley and the other being none other than Papa Bear! Both with a heart the size of Texas, we decided to hang with them. Mostly, I wanted to hang out in front of Papa Bear’s camera lense..he politely obliges me. I have offered to let him make me a star, and he just smiles….I can be found searching endlessly for a sea horse, and what ever fish Papa Bear entices me by saying is the fish of the dive, to the point of utter and total annoyance to John. I love diving with Doc Dori, as we have turned losing a ship/finding a ship into a lost art. Some day, you may find John and I living in the islands, where I will be living in a swimsuit and pareo. With a boat drink. Blonde. That is my story.
