Last May I was in Va. and the Homestead Resort and my horses saddle was too loose and it fell sideways when the horse made a turn and I fell to the muddy trail. In a couple of weeks I will be on another horse in Arizona. I'm sure he will see a rattle snake and throw me right on it. Can't wait. :?
LOL! You ARE a brave girl! I'm :shock: of horses. I almost got trampled by about a dozen once and almost thrown off another. Done with that! I guess you could say I'm an all around chicken sh*t! Oh, and I'm totally with you on the skydiving thing too!

Cyp, no horse for you. We go to Skinny Legs while the kids ride!

We have waaaaay hijacked this thread. Oh well, fire me.

Skinney's sounds great. Haley says she wants to ride horses and scuba, so we'll have to work on the schedule. I hate to be on a schedule. Oh well.

I am still waiting for a reply from Colette. (Back on subject) It may not work out.

I have not been able to get a reply from Colette, but my buddy, Rev. Stu, recommended Cruz Bay Watersports. He said they have a new guy from STT named James that is fantastic. They do their intro dive off a boat instead of shoreline and take a max of 4. I'm thinking since we would have 3, maybe that would be all for that day. They depart from the Westin and I could sit and have a few beverages while they do their thing. Does anyone have any experience with Cruz Bay Watersports for any kind of diving?

Once again, thanks!

Cypressgirl-
I certified with Cruz Bay watersports back in 1997, they were great but that was when the Westin was being rebuilt (Hilton) so the boat wasn't crowded. I've gone out with them a couple time in past years but prefer Lowkey because Cruz Bay watersports "in my opinion" is set up for the Westin people and usually has a full boat. If you are going to get certified though I'm sure it would be fine but remember when they say there's only four, it means one instructor for four divers (training) and not four people on the boat.
