whew, just got back from a long day :)
after a total of about 10 hours on the road, we had a VERY nice little mini-vacation  we went to seaworld san antonio for the first time, it was great!! its not as big as the one in san diego, but we still had a great time. there arent as many shows at this time of the year, but we got to see everything that we wanted, and we got to ride all the roller coasters, and the hubby bought me a big shamu doll  we took a ton of killer whale pics, and a ton of dolphin pics, and pics of a bunch of other stuff too  they had beautiful fish too!! ill have to try to upload a few pics
this was the first time we have gone to san antonio, without going to the alamo  i love that city, im serioulsy gonna start looking into housing and schools and such down there. i spoke with a diver from the seaworld, it doesnt take all that much to get hired there. you have to be scuba certified and have a bio background, plus pass all the background checks and tests. i can get the scuba cert easily, but now i need to enroll in some classes!! if its the last thing i do, i WILL get a job there....dont know how long it will take, LOL, but i think i can do it

Re: whew, just got back from a long day :)
Awesome, can't wait to see pics. I went there a few years back-did they still have the dolphin pool where you can hand feed them? I got to pet one on the nose and it was too cool. Plus the Steel Eel is an awesome coaster.

Re: whew, just got back from a long day :)
yes!! the dolphin pool was the first thing we went to check out LOL. they were really friendly, at the end of the day, we went back and bought a tray of fish to feed them, we had one big dolphin come over and hog all the fish LOL. he let me pet him several times, and after the tray was gone, he turned sideways and laid his body on the little ledge so we could all pet his body haha, it was like he was saying "thank you, thank you very much for those delicious fish "
ice, what do you guys do in scuba classes? i know i saw some advertised here where we live, i think they were like $300-400, a few days with an instructor, sounded fun!!

It would be better if you took one a little longer and with a small class.
there is a lot of info and some of it can get confusing.
also there are advanced course you can take to allow you to dive deeper in the water and for a longer amount of time.
there are about four different gases used in diving too,
Argon can be used in a dry suit, but cant be breathed.
there are mixed gases, and tri-mixed gases.
So best advice is find a good school or coarse and not a cheap one.
you can die if you don't know the right way or panic.

Re: whew, just got back from a long day :)
i actually called a few diff places and they were all pretty much the same, but they do offer more advanced courses, one school had TONS of other courses to take. ill most likely be going to that one and as i get a little extra money here and there, i can just work my way up, im excited!! ive always wanted to learn how to dive!! the final thing in the courses is to go out to a lake about an hour away and dive there then ill just have more excuses to go to the islands to try out my new skill and scuba gear
