Am
on
my
way
to
Singapore
now
with
my
two
kids,
Sofia
(13yrs)
and
Michael
(11yrs)
who
were
recently
certified
junior
open
water
scuba
divers
after
their
pool
training
with
Fallon
(Scuba
Network
NYC
on
Sun
Jul
16th
2023)
and
open
water
certified
by
Jon
Landress
(Scuba
Network
Ft
Lauderdale
on
Aug
1st
&2nd
2023).
We
plan
to
scuba
dive
together
in
Singapore,
Indonesia,
Thailand
and
Malaysia.
When
we
were
beach
diving
with
Jon
at
the
gloriously
beautiful
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea,
I
cleared
my
mask
underwater
not
because
of
mask
fogging
or
water
leaking
into
the
mask,
but
because
I
teared.
Tears
of
joy.
An
unexpected
emotion
came
over
me.
Similar
to
that
of
an
enchantment.
Like
giving
birth
to
my
two
kids
all
over
again,
but
this
time
in
the
water.
Sofia
and
Michael
took
to
diving
like
newborn
marine
creatures
exploring
their
surroundings
with
confidence,
eagerness
and
stealth.
Jon
is
subliminally
gifted
as
an
instructor
with
flair
for
keeping
the
kids
focussed,
humored
and
serious,
all
at
the
same
time.
I
owe
it
to
the
entire
team
of
amazing
scuba
dive
instructors
at
Scuba
Network
NYC
and
specially
at
Scuba
Network
Ft
Lauderdale
(Eric,
Meghan,
Shelby)
for
making
a
personal
dream
come
true.
As
a
mother
who
has
plans
to
raise
her
kids
to
become
outstanding
race
car
drivers,
pilots
and
scuba
divers,
I
am
also
compelled
to
say
that
the
leader
of
the
pack
at
Scuba
Network,
Mr
Ryan
Hoffman,
who
trained
and
certified
me
at
the
Red
Sea,
Egypt,
is
a
proven
leader
with
fine
judgement
in
who
he
hires
to
help
him
expand
the
scuba
diving
community
worldwide.
I
learned
along
the
way
that
Jon
Landress
trained
Ryan
Hoffman
himself.
What
an
honor
for
my
kids
and
I
to
be
certified
by
two
scuba
dive
titans.
Being
someone
who
is
part
of
three
alumni
that
significantly
contributed
towards
and
built
Singapore
into
the
affluent
and
successful
city
it
is
today,
I
am
familiar
with
encounters
with
greatness.
Thank
you,
Fallon,
Jon
and
Ryan.
For
going
the
extra
mile
to
achieve
what’s
above
and
beyond,
passionately
and
tirelessly,
underwater.
