Hi there!
I've been browsing the forums quite a bit lately and figure it's about time I've introduced myself. My family and I recently moved to Oahu, HI and it appears we'll be here for a good while. I pretty much made it my goal to get OW certified ASAP after landing on the island. I'm enjoying it immensely and I've been trying to go out at lest once a week now. That being said, I've only been able to go on about 5 dives (2 of those dives were my cert dives as well), so trust me when I say I'm very new to diving. I'm trying to get my wife into diving as well but she has a fear for the open water right now, so she wants to try snorkeling first and see how that goes.
Sadly, I have to rent right now but in time, I do hope to buy my own gear.I figure renting gives me a easy way to see what exactly I like.
Right now my list looks something like this.
1) Wetsuit (Thinking a 5mm bare as I get slightly chilly while under the water)
2)Perdix (AI maybe)
3)DSS BP/W, thinking a steel backplate and a torus #26
4)Reg (Thinking the Deep6)
5)Accessories that I haven't been able to buy yet (This one will most likely be bought in between each purchase, for example, I plan to buy a dive knife and maybe a light when I get the wetsuit)
I'm sure I'm missing something but can't think of it right now.
Anyways! If you're ever in the Oahu area, shoot me a message! I'm always looking for a dive buddy and I always need an excuse to get out of the house.
