Hello from Portugal!

[ARGoncalves]

Hello! My name is Ana and I'm from Portugal. I'm a biologist/ entomologist. I'm not certified yet but it's a big dream of mine that I want to achieve very soon. Usually, I do a lot of snorkelling near the coast. This year I had many plans, including getting certified in Thailand and exploring some of reefs but it was postponed due to our current situation. I'm looking forward to doing it!

Welcome to ScubaBoard Ana @ARGoncalves. So happy you decided to join ScubaBoard. Looking forward to you getting certified and enjoying so much of our planet. By the way scuba diving is a lot easier than snorkeling in my opinion. You don't need to worry about water getting in your mouth like snorkeling.

Hi and welcome on board !

Hope you'll get certified very soon. Diving is wonderful, getting myself certified was one the best things I've ever done.

Btw, no need to go very far for that : you've got nice places for diving in Portugal, on the continent or in the Azores, for example (I'm planning to get back there).

Diving gave me the opportunity to travel in my homeland and discover it.

Hi there!

From a Portuguese who did Open Water Diver in Thailand, it is easier to get certified here and dive there than the other way around.
