Brand spanking new diver here! (in an old package)

[LStewart]

I'm Larry from Knoxville, TN. USA. My wife, Leslie, and I got our NAUI cert thought Tank Worx and I must say I was quite impressed with the class. Chris, Linda, Ed, Ron , and Mack are really awesome folk!
leslie and i have been whitewater kayaking for over 15 years and decided to look at other ways to play in the water! she was a diver when she was in her 20's and I've always wanted to. Wish I hadn't waited. it was all I expected and more! I've posted a bit on here already but wanted to officially introduce myself after I had my c-card. Look forward to hearing from you all and hopefully diving with you too!

Welcome and good luck from another diver who started late, got certified at 48 years old. But now have 400 dives and multiple certifications-my words of wisdom to you is keep diving and remember that you
are always learning something new and enjoy every single dive..

Hey Hombre ( Man in Californian lingo) AKA Larry & Leslie

Reviewed the picture .... a few questions
* I assume that is you with the mature hair cut in the back ground
* That is your dearly beloved next to you in the back ground

* What is " Carson -Newman SCUBA" ?
* Why an Eagle as a Symbol ? (FYI and Eagle is a bird not a fish !)
* The Dive flag "appears" to be Red..Correct? All that is needed is a Orange dive flag !
* Why Orange shirts on the front row ?
( Great Color for diving...)

May I suggest that you and yours and Carson -Newman SCUBA read:
www.legends of diving.com- Orange county did you know ? or maybe just google
Orange county did you know ?

The genesis of diving was in OC-- most manufactures, more instructors more activity was in Orange county California

How does one acquire one of those bright orange shirts ?
