I am now a scuba instructor - Congratulate me! - GoFuckYourself.com

TeraBabes · 08-18-2002, 03:01 PM

This might not sound like a big deal to those of you who don't dive, but as of today, I am officially a PADI Scuba Instructor. I'm now certified to teach all the way up through Divemaster.

I headed down to Florida about a month ago, and worked on a dive boat as a divemaster, all the while training and studying to get through my Instructor Development Course. I took a little break for Internext, but other than that, this is pretty much all I've been doing. The Instructor's Exam was this weekend (both days), and I passed with flying colors!

It was a lot of work, a lot of fun, and worth every minute. This is yet another example of why I love the adult industry. Thanks to having a relatively steady income, I was able to quit my day job and focus on some of my hobbies/passions - like scuba diving.

Anyway, at the next convention that's near water, if anyone wants to stick around for a few days and do some diving, I'm in!

I only have two more days until I'm finally back home and can get some real work done. hehehe...

Ok, enough of my rambling.

Gary · 08-18-2002, 03:02 PM

Diving is for pussies, real men sit in front of computers all day stuffing twinkies down their throat.

boldy · 08-18-2002, 03:03 PM

Congrats Tera

WiredGuy · 08-18-2002, 03:08 PM

Congrats! It takes a long time to become an instructor so congrats to you :-)

Pipecrew · 08-18-2002, 03:13 PM

I almost got my padi certification (lowest level diver) forget now but i never completed one task underwater and the fockers wouldnt give it to me!

kosmic · 08-18-2002, 03:23 PM

Congrats Terra

matty · 08-18-2002, 03:30 PM

Nice Tera, something i've always wanted to do... Not be an instructor, but become a certified diver.

ServerGenius · 08-18-2002, 04:38 PM

Congrats Terra....Next Miami, I'll stick around and dive with you...
sounds like a great plan!

DynaMite

avsaffiliateprograms · 08-18-2002, 04:41 PM

Yeah!

TeraBabes · 08-18-2002, 04:50 PM

Thanks everyone...

BTW, when are you guys going to learn that there is only 1 "r" in TeraBabes? It's tera (as in trillion), not terra (as in earth).

Anyhoo, DynaMite - you're on. And matty, you are in luck. I just so happen to know a really good instructor who could teach you. haha...

Miss Laurie · 08-18-2002, 05:51 PM

TheBigGuy · 08-18-2002, 06:14 PM

Thumbs up.

Can you really get hurt in 10-15 feet of water? Not fucking around or anything. Just going down and coming up slowly.

Oh, hell yeah!

Speaking of hot chicks scuba diving, or a lack thereof...I figured I'd be meeting all sorts of babes working on the boat. Pbbbft. Fat chance.

Did you know that only 28% of divers are chicks? And did you know the average age of a diver is 38? By my math, I figure that only 1 out of every 147 divers is a babe. I plan on doing my best to change those numbers, thank you very much.

Muffy · 08-18-2002, 06:26 PM

Congrats...may we call you Scooba Steve now?

People drown in their bath tubs. You can get hurt anywhere... So, yes, while you could get hurt diving in 10-15 feet of water, while not fucking around, it is HIGHLY unlikely.

More people are hurt bowling every year than are hurt scuba diving. I shit you not. There are about 4 accidents per 10,000 scuba divers every year. For comparison sake, there are 217 per 10,000 in American football, 209 in baseball, 186 in basketball, etc...

Wizzo · 08-18-2002, 06:53 PM

Sweet...I only have my advanced open water, but give me a little time.

TarPy · 08-18-2002, 06:59 PM

Hey man,

Glad to hear it man. I've always wanted to go diving. More specifically I want to see the Hammerhead shark schooling in the Gulf. That would be amazing. You should have asked me down on the show floor. I would have bolted in a sec.

Did you know that Tera (one r) is related to Nick Cage? It's amazing because he's Nick's brother Marc. Or at least that's the stupid joke I made all week. Anyhow, Tera get in touch with me. My AIM is HiSteppa, and my Cell is 484-695-7702.

TarPy

TeraBabes · 08-18-2002, 08:16 PM

TarPy - Yeah yeah yeah.... Nick's brother. If you only had any idea how many times in my life I've been told I look like him. My hair used to be longer and I got it ALL the time...

I'm TeraBabes23 on AIM. Let's chat after I get home (Tuesday).

hmmm... perhaps we could turn it into a diving photoshoot. Sounds like an underserved niche.

I'm a PADI Master Instructor from the Chicago area, who has applied for the next CDTC (Course Director Training Course) out at HQ. Wish me luck as well !

Good luck as you begin your teaching career.

Exxxotica · 08-18-2002, 09:39 PM

Toonlogos · 08-19-2002, 12:30 AM

Congrats! I am a PADI diver myself, not an instructor tho.. Just got back from a week of diving in mauritius!

In Mauritius, there are some pretty hot chicks diving, and many like to sunbath topless on the way back.

RogerV · 08-19-2002, 12:33 AM

I do a little diving myself...Its just not in water

congrats

CurrentlySober · 08-19-2002, 01:03 AM

Hey congrats ;-)

I'll have to hire you to be my instructor when i get over there

Schwick · 08-19-2002, 03:37 AM

For those of you that have never been scuba diving I suggest you give it a go. The closest you will come to heaven on earth.

Tera way to go on the level of certification!

You are reading my mind...

TeraBabes · 08-19-2002, 07:17 AM

pornjester - LOL.
kman - It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
chodadog - Works for me.
Toonlogos - Where is Mauritius?
scubadog - VERY nice! Good luck going for Course Director. BTW, I remembered the bowling statistic from my Rescue class.
Nina - Can't wait to get you nekkid underwater!

Everyone - Thanks for the congrats

And for those of you who have never been scuba diving, you really should try it sometime. Next time you are on vacation somewhere near dive operations, stop in. You'd be surprised how little is required to get you into the water. Try it out, and if you love it (you will), then think about getting certified.

Ted · 08-19-2002, 07:20 AM

I havent dived in about 5 years, I got sick of strapping on 40lbs of lead to sink my 7mm wetsuit

But I'm heading to the Great Barrier Reef in November, I'm not missing out on diving there.
