introductions

Hey there y'all! I've been a lurker for years, but never made the jump to creating an account on here. When I first started diving and was clueless on topics like what equipment to choose, what the difference is between piston and diaphragm 1st stages, and what is a balanced reg, I could...

Hello Reader, Just a bit about my diving history. I got OW certed in Denver Colorado in 2017. I had aspirations of working my way into cave and wreck diving but I got busy with life and did not make the time to use the cert at all. Fast forward 6 years and I had the chance to dive a couple of...

Hi, just introducing myself here. I have been diving for a while and travel all around the world to do so. I don't, however, dive in my part of the world (Northeast US). Just here for inspiration and to chat with my fellow divers.

Hello everyone, I was originally certified in 1988 when I was 12 years old. I dove a lot with my father who was first certified in 1971. Almost all of our diving was off the NC coast. My father passed away when I was 19 and I stopped diving for a long time. We never really logged dives back...
