Calgary area divers?

[crunchiespg]

I'm recently certified OW diver. And basically I'm totally hooked.
Im just getting all my gear together and I should be fully equipped in the next week or two.
The one thing I'm missing is dive partners.
I'm looking to get out diving locally every week if possible. Either in Calgary or out in Banff area. Or anywhere else local. The sooner and more often the better.

Is is anyone looking for dive partners? Or any regular groups I can join?
My dive shop invited me to come and dive when they do some open water certification dives. But ideally I want to get even more.
I'll be doing advanced open water in June. And hopefully some dives in Victoria this summer.

Welcome to diving,

All the shops in the Calgary area have facebook pages, as well as the Underwater Outlaws, the Calgary scuba/social club.

I think I already saw you post on the Outlaw's page.

Also, check out the Alberta Underwater Council - they have dive events and list the events put on by Alberta dive shops.

We regularly visit the area every other year and attend the Calgary Folk Festival and Canmore Folk Festival. I would love to add a few days diving (e.g. Lake Minnewanka or Two Jack Lake). Thanks for your post.

Two Jack last Saturday. I was teaching a Navigation class. A lovely spot to say the least.

Is that Bill? If so hi! I was at your DM presentation a couple weeks back trying to soak up some info for future plans.

Yes, I'm Bill Morgan. I was there that night, but it was Bill Hall who did the presentation.

Ah. Getting my Bills mixed up. I saw your post about the nav class on the dive shop page. I'll be jumping in for the next one of those!
