Dive Travel: We’ve always enjoyed snorkeling and would spend our entire Hawaii vacations in the water, so, after watching scuba divers peel their dive gear on and off, we took the plunge (literally) in 2013, getting PADI-certified at Catalina Island here in SoCal. We figure that if we can dive locally, where it’s cold and hard to see, we can dive almost anywhere, and that’s what we’ve been doing—South Pacific, North Pacific, Caribbean, Florida, Southern California, and Africa. Most of our international travel revolves around diving, and we love seeing animals that we had never even heard of until a few years ago (wobbegong shark, nudibranch, and frogfish to name a few).
