I recently reached a personal goal and started diving after completing a SSI Open Water Scuba Course. Once you reach a goal you can not stop there. You have to set the next one, more so when you proclaim on a motivational facebook page that life goes on, small steps will get you there and you can do it ! These have been some of my cheerleader shout-outs over the last 5 years on the Butterfly Project Facebook page.

So after my giant stride off the deck of a boat and discovering the magic of life on a coral reef, it is quite obvious that I will cintinue my development as a diver, but what to do further?

At 56 and after two decades of health challenges and limitations on my mobility, I only now experience the rebirth of a dream ( my childhood dream ) ! Weightlessness and normal mobility under water open up a possibility. Dare I dream of spending the next part of my life in marine conservation doing coral restoration and being part of a team conserving coral reefs? Dare I explore this possibility and ways to step closer to such a reality?

Where would I start?
