Then onto the TDI\/SDI booth. I was provided with my SDI<br \/>\nInstructor material. Once TDI\/SDI receive the remaining paperwork,<br \/>\nProof of # of certs, etc. they will process my TDI Instructor certs. Met a few<br \/>\nfriends along the way. Friends from Dallas, friends from Jacksonville and the<br \/>\nkeys. Stopped by Nekton Cruises booth.<br \/>\nMet a gentleman from Puerto Rico who owns Atlantis Dive, located on the West<br \/>\nside of PR. We kept running into each other and He and Darcy know each other<br \/>\nas well. Small world.\u00a0 I hope to visit his shop one day, soon.<\/p>\n<p>I had a pretty good time overall.<\/p>\n<p>I finished with a trip to Egypt.
