BEAUTIFUL Steve Graham was one of the attendees , a veteran of DFL ! he must have attended most of the 20 years DFL has been in existence . He walked around the resort , cane in hand , slowly , but surely , he got there ! sometimes in the pool , sometimes in the dining area and sometimes just back to his room with Dennis and Allen . The first night I met him , he whispered few simple words to my ears , “ You are beautiful !” I reflected back , “ Steve ... YOU ARE too !”
MOM & DAD Kelly is one of the directors . I sat down with her and question after question , she answered them all . I was excited to be there , and I wanted to know about the entity DFL has been and the people who worked countless hours to make this event go smoothly , fun , financially sound and sustainable ! Though not feeling 100 # herself , she ’ s there to do what she said she ’ d do . Last Tuesday night at my very first night dive , Kelly and David Doom $ like our dive Mom & Dad % waved goodbye and wished us well as we departed for our night dive ! to some of us , it was our very first night dive . Full of excitement and some apprehension , flashlights in hand , wet suit and all our dive gears , we got ready as our boat proceeded to our destination , the Paradise Reef . Kelly and David stood there waving goodbye to us ! I waved goodbye , and lo and behold , the men infront of me had their dive gears on but they seemed to all have forgotten to put on their pants ! I thought it was a bit soon to see Sea Cucumbers ! Later on I ’ d realize that the real Sea Cucumbers are much , much bigger ! But maybe on the next night dive , I ’ ll try that too ! When we got back from an incredible night dive , Kelly was there to welcome us back . Perhaps the sigh of relief came over her when all divers were accounted for . $ Where the heck was David !% David was the very first one I met at the resort on Day 1 ! welcoming the arriving DFL participant , divers and their partners and / or friends ! I felt home !
