Octopus's Garden

In 1990 I became a certified SCUBA diver after completing my final dive in Barnegat, New Jersey.
An old boyfriend gave me this CD, Abbey Road, with Octopus's Garden as a congratulatory gift.
UNCLE JACK was my favorite diving buddy. We made many, many dives off Catalina Island and La Jolla, CA.
Unfortunately......I don't dive any more..... This was one of those "bucket list" ambitions.

A lovely collection and story! I never made it as far as Scuba - I was happy to learn how to snorkel!

The Octopus will never be bothered by me in his garden, he's welcome to the ocean, I'm a land lubber!!

I bet there are some fabulous photo opportunities during a dive - did you ever take a waterproof camera with you?
