Locals Tip
Don't wait till your dead to try something new!
"I don't really want to scuba dive....I'm kind of terrified of being under water like that. I really have no desire. Never say never though :)" Meghann
"There is nothing in the world like diving into a great lake and knowing with 100% certainty that no shark or salt water will bother you." Dylan
