Glad I found this place

[Addicted Diver]

Hi Im Ray from Central Florida,

And Uh I have a diving problem...Thats right I will dive any place any time AS LONG as it is with in my training. A diver wiser than I told me on my 6th dive "plan your dive and dive your plan". Since then I have logged 49 dives since open water cert. in late April. Currentley I hold open water/Nitrox,Advanced/ and I am waiting to finish our check out dives for advanced rescue diver. Everthing accept my open water cert is thru NAUI. I plan to take classes up to Master Diver. Next Month I plan on taking cavern cert and intro to cave where I will make up my mind on weither or not to pursue cave diving. It seems like a waste not to take advantage of the many diving opportunities in central florida. My only regret is that I didnt get into diving sooner; however one of my greastest fears was drowning. Life is funny uh. Anyway Thanks to all who are active members here the information could save you or a loved one.
Safe diving everyone and dont forget to be a good buddy!!!!
Ray

....and Welcome from Rochester NY.

Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Tavi and I'm one too.

My addiction to diving wouldn't be a problem,
If my income was as big as my obsession.

If there were caverns and caves where I live I would definately be training for it.

Keep us posted on your progress!

First welcome to the family we're like any family some of the relatives are a wee bit off centre, and some way off. There are those of us that live in strange locals (like north of the 49th and dive in 60F water and love it), and some who even claim diving in stock tanks is something to be proud of.

I won't ditz you for warm water diving(for now at least), as apparently my boss is being kind and actually allowing me to go to Florida for a conference - so you, NetDoc, Walter et al... beware a Canuk is coming south!
