Who or what or how did you get into diving??

[LKunze]

I somehow became obsessed with wanting to dive as a teenager.  I was always into swimming and snorkeling.  I had the opportunity to take the PADI OW class back in 1987 at a local state college and I passed the written exam and pool test but never was able to take the open water portion.  I lived in an area with no decent diveable lakes within reasonable distance.  I didn't end up getting back into diving and getting certified until 4 years ago.  Now I usually get in about 60 to 70 dives per year locally and in Wisconsin between Spring and Fall.  I have yet to dive in saltwater but that will change in July when I go to the Bahamas.
