I've been out of the water for way too long since moving to CO in 2004, but hope to rectify that shortly when I move to Melbourne, FL at the end of next month.
I've enjoyed diving in a number of places, but most of my dives were in Hawaii. Mostly on Oahu, but also dove Kona, Maui, Lanai and Kauai.
Marine Corps career gave me further opportunities to dive in Okinawa, Philippines, Diego Garcia and Australia, but I've been out of the game too long. When I first started diving, the rebranded Navy Dive tables is what we used with computers just starting to come out. Despite my certifications, I've been above water too long and a lot has changed. I was shocked that Scubapro didn't have orange BCs anymore and most don't wear weight belts.
First stop once I get to Melbourne will be at Hatt's Dive shop for the PADI ReActivate course and relearn everything I knew almost 40 years ago.
I'm looking forward to learning on this forum and perhaps contribute when I can.
We used to call divers who didn't use a BC, gorilla divers and I have a feeling that I have become them.
