I'm also curious what is motivating the teens of today into scuba....Is it environmental, adventure, the next challange, an "X-Game Thing"?....does it appear the reasons are drastically different between the boys and the girls? or do the majority approach the lifestyle for about the same reasons?........No I'm not writing a theseis...But we are looking for ways to get more of the kids in our area involved and interested in Scuba and the Ocean.
