The mini submarine in the background is the DeepSee three person sub that took all diving to over 1000 feet. Cocos Island is a Costa Rican marine protected area about 300 miles from the mainland and offers excellent diving.

pn10-rproving4.JPGFor my 45th birthday, I took a 30-day trip last summer to Great Britain and Ireland. I have been wanting to go to Great Britain and Ireland since I was 10 years old. After 5 years of saving, I was finally able to go. I picked this particular copy of the Press-Telegram because the headline said it all, "Challenge Is Met" Behind me is Loch Ness, near Inverness, Scotland. Nessie never appeared, but the lake was the deepest blue I had ever seen.
