Anyone want to go diving with NON-Diving PARENTS?

I know I've talked to a few people who have said they'd love to take a trip where they could bring their single remaining parent with them.
Anyone else want to do a trip with their 'parental types'? Who knows...maybe they will want to get into diving once they see how much fun we are having!

oh, I can see it now...Anyone else want to do a trip with their 'parental types'? Who knows...maybe they will want to get into diving once they see how much fun we are having!
*Wayne's world style dream sequence start "dlele-dlele-dlele"*
Scene begins on a Dive boat in the middle of an ocean. Joe looks for his dive bag but can't find it.
"Has anyone seen my bag?" Joe says.
Joe's mom answers, "Why yes. I thought it was it wasn't in a very good spot so I went to move it. It was too heavy so I decided to take everything out and organize it on the boat better. Those heavy things I wrapped in ziploc bags and placed on the bench over there. The thing with all the hoses on it I used pull ties to keep it all together and put on the shelf at the back of the boat. The wetsuit I put on a hanger and hung up down below..."
Scene fades back to Joe retreiving gear while mother still explaining the locations of all the stuff.
Joe picks up his wetsuit and starts to get in it when Mom comes up and starts pulling it up. "Oh Joe, this is just like when you were a little boy..."
Knowing he is loosing ALL his cool points at this moment Joe desperatly looks to his Dad for help. All he gets is that "You're on your own son" shrug. So he tries to get it over with as quickly as possible... then tries to stand there looking suave as his mother zips up the zipper.
Thinking he is in the clear as his mom goes to take a rest on one of the benches and goes to assemble the rest of his gear. He then notices she is sitting next to WW and hears the fateful opener, "Has Joe ever told you the story when he and his brother put bologna in the milk...?"
Fade to slow-mo Joe crying out "NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..." but no one hears as they are now in rapt attention listening to my mother as she spins the tale.
"Oh, and how could I ever forget the other time when he...."
Joe assumes fetal postion.
*dream sequence ends*
Yeah, yeah, maybe I should ask them....

that's not a dream, that's a nightmare!
My Dad doesn't dive and most likely wouldn't get on a boat anyway, so I might be in the clear. I'd just have to worry about all the time that we aren't diving!

Since we have looked at doing this trip again next fall when the water is in the high 70's (and it actually hit 80 on the bottom of the river) I thought it would be nice to take my mom along.
So I'm wondering if anyone else would like to bring their non-diving parent(s) with them on a dive trip?

There may be some truth to Joe's story, but I bet everyone on the trip would be in love with Joe's mom by the end
If we do Hawaii next summer, that would be the perfect opportunity for parents to join.

Well, sounds like you get a week, and Mom gets a week. Maybe thats why they give you twoNot sure how to look at this one. Half way through my tour we get a couple weeks off and I have no intention of coming back to the US. 5 of us are looking at Cairns, AU for a dive trip. My mother will most definitely want to see me so my plan is to bring her down for a week. That leaves me a week to dive and hang out with my buds from the unit and get trashed!!! This will be her first trip out of the US in 30 years. Part of me wants to have two weeks to unwind (go crazy) but I know my family obligations. Looks like some cool jungle tours and maybe get a car to see some other parts of AU.

Hawaii could in fact be a great trip for "Parents" or in my case "Parent"! Hmm....better not ask her yet...in case it doesn't fly! But hey...who wouldn't want to go to Hawaii!!!Not sure they would ever join us, but I would love to have my Aunt and Uncle along on one of our trips. I imagine others have parents that would be a blast to have along.

Dad's not all that well, and I know his days are short. He recently got himself a passport. When I asked why, his reply was that he wanted to go "somewhere" he just didn't know quite where yet. I guarantee you that if I had the opportunity to dive somewhere exotic and my dad could go along and watch...wow! That would be the trip of a lifetime for him - literally! I'd give up an entire week of diving to make dad happy for one day!
BTW - dad was never certified, but has done his share of diving in his youth. Before his heart condition got so serious, he would hooka dive in the rivers of northern California to mine gold. With an unlimited air supply and would stay under the water for hours literally while moving the rocks on the bottom of the river to get to the gold deposits below. :-)
Yes, I would take my dad! (Heck I would take my mom too for that matter, she'd shop or lay around all day and party with everyone else at night.)
