Hey, you even have me on your smilies list!
I've been snooping around your board and you seem like a great bunch of people! Finally decided to go ahead and let you know I was here.
Here's the scoop about me:
I live in Ohio, yes we have places to dive here, Gilboa Quarry is by far the best Ohio site. I help with the SCUBA classes at the local university where I was certified in 1993. Just finished my NAUI Divemaster a year ago in June (2000). Am currently working on my instructor certification. The instructor I have worked with at the university since I was certified is letting me practice my lectures on her class--YEAH! They have been quite patient with me, I only had them thoroughly confused once. Actually I had the instructor (Gina) confused too but managed to go back and get everyone on the right track--we were doing dive tables and I've been using a computer for 2 years now! I am writing my lecture for next Tuesday at the moment, it's on the diving environment. I told my mom and she said "It's water, right?" We'd sure look funny flopping around on land in all that gear!
Hope to get to know everyone!
Have a happy day!
Safe diving!
