Welcome! Get as much training as you like--- but try to 'get wet' with some frequency-- time in the water is what makes your skills more automatic. Have fun!

Welcome to ScubaBoard, foneguy. AOW is good. Diving is good, too. You'll find the time, I know.

But tell, me what's a "slam course"? No, seriously.

PS Where are you located?

Ah, thanks. Should be a good course. I took SSI's Stress & Rescue and I loved it. Great self- and buddy-evaluation tools in the Stress portion, and some very real-feeling search and rescue practice in open water.

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

Yeah, what's a "slam course". Sounds like a punk rock diver's delight!

Don't forget to fill out your profile, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, once we know where you are geographically, you may find that you'll have a whole bunch of new dive buddies to choose from locally. I bet your new dive buddies will even come up with creative ways of getting you to dive even though you have no time to dive!

Dive safe!
