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!
