A note about advertising links on this site: I produce this blog because I want to share and communicate my experiences with the world, but the cost of running the site is not zero.   I help offset the cost of the site by having advertising on the site which pays me a small payment when you the viewer click on a link.  If you see an ad that looks interesting, by all means please click on it from my site to get you the information you might find interesting while helping me pay for the cost of running the site.  Also, note, that I host this site on iPage, which I have found to be a great hosting company for my own site, and they provide great support as well as tools to create blogs like mine.  There is a link at the bottom of this page that will take you to their sign-up process if you would like to start your own blog or website.  If you do click on the link and sign up, they will provide me with a small finders fee as well, so that also helps fund the site.  Ok, enough about money… back to diving.
