1. Your ability to be compassionate yet challenging. You've been such a source of support to me over the past couple of years and I love you to reeses pieces because of it. 2. Cowboy by Kid rock, between your avatar and tagline, and knowing that theres a wild side to you, ... I just think of you with that song. 3. I would love for you to teach me the basics of scuba diving and then for you to share your favorite dive spot with me. I imagine it to be a whole other world down there beneath the water. Very liberating I imagine. 4. I'm not sure if I ever told you but 5 years ago after I called off my engagement, my grandpa took the family to Hawaii. My cousin wanted to go diving and I couldn't because I was in a walking cast. Its just something I've always meant to share with you, but honestly don't think I ever have. I was so jealous when I found out you were taking the diving courses. In a good way of course. 5.Stasis of course. But the memory I have that sticks out in my mind is when you first changed journals and allowed me to get to know you as Alia instead of Siren who had an eating disorder. 6.My quote from BGW actually. I'm not sure why, ... but it does. 7. How did you first get involved with scuba diving and what is your favorite dive to date? What does the name alia mean and were you named after someone? Ok, I know that's two question, or really 4 for that matter, ... but answer them anyway. Tee hee.
Ooooh tough questions! How did I get involved...well, I've always wanted to dive since I was about 10 years old or so. And I just said to myself "this is still. you've wanted top try it for 10 years, just do it!!" and so I did. and now I'm hooked. and I have 2 favourite dives to date. One of them was over in Nanaimo BC on Vancouver Island, diving the HMCS Saskatchewan which is a 366ft Destroyer. I didnt go in it as I am not yet trained to do so, but I did have quite a blast diving around one of the decks of this ship, looking at the guns and other such interesting features, not to mention all the life that calls the Destroyer home. My other favourite dive was in the Agamemnon Channel which is up the Sunshine Coast of BC. Gorgeous dive. No wrecks, just abundant life, and a sea lion AND a seal were spotted!! It was an awesome dive.
As for my name, I have no idea what it means. My dad was reading Dune when my mom was pregnant with me and he loved the name, and so did mom, so I was named after Alia in the Dune series. :D
It's really unfortunate that you couldnt dive when you were over in hawaii with your family, but these things happen sometimes. The wonderful thing about diving is that people do it well into their 70s. There is plenty of time left to learn how to use a SCUBA unit and dive. :) Come up here to where I live and I'll get the boy to teach you to dive. I'm not a certified instructor so I can't teach (read: certify) you directly, but I could definitely be in the pool and the ocean with you while you are learning! Honestly, BC has the best diving in the world (verified by many many many local and non-local divers). You could come up here and check it out! And then I would love to take you diving with me. It would be so fun!
