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

like many who have replied to this thread I too always wanted to dive, I have a brother who is 10 years older that me, he got certified in the late 70's and had all the equiptment, I would sit in the basement of our house hooking up his reg and tank and breath. He would be a little upset when he would come home and his rig was set up and his tank was empty. I would ride my bike to Mick's scuba, Northwest divers, and superfrogs in Moorhead and look at all the cool stuff.  But as I entered my teens my brother got a job, moved away and took all his stuff with him, I started Water skiing and became obsessed with that and all my money went to ski equiptment and gas. 

Then about two years ago my wife and I took a vacation to Cozumel and I talked her into taking a discovory scuba course, we got certified the next winter and did our open water in May and I have done 30 dives and compleeted my AOW in the last year.

The Master Craft ski boat is now for sale, and I have two sets of scuba euiptment.
