Gotta say "hi" from overseas...

[VeniVidi]

...from Switzerland to be exact. I see, although there are some Europeans around in this forum, I hope that I can cope with the "Yankee tongue" like "Hoppy" finally managed.

Well, for the rest - I'm gonna try to get the best out of it and also to contribute to some of my humble experience if asked for.

Alas,

Johnnie the one who came and saw....

Right.
Well, welcome on board. Hope you'll have fun.
We're actually trying to blow some life back in the Europe section, since we found out it was hardly alive. And we're doing a great job, if I say so myself. So post something. Mark is still curious where everybody is going to dive this summer in Europe.

Ramón.

Hey, I've lived in the US my entire life and I still don't have it down pat.

Welcome to SB, ya'll!

Welcome to the board from Gozo, Malta!

...what a warm welcome, that is!

H2Andy: thanks! Maybe , it's just because that I'm probably too much spoiled by the movies....

DandyDon: this is exactly my intention. Since my diving experience started out in the Red Sea and continued in the local lakes, one has an idea about warm vs. cold water diving. However, the waters around the globe are so different that I very much appreciate an international community to chat with - just hanging around in the local diver's forums (Germanic, that is), is a little meager in the long run, as the community there is used mainly to the same environments I dive. So, if I wanted to go diving in Florida - ScubaBoard would be the far better choice for consultancy. The same goes for equipment, configuration and the like, that must vary depending on the location one dives.

TCooperWFI: Thank you very much for your reassurance. This gives me the confidence that we both can talk to each other at least in broken English....;-)

dutch-scuba-kid: Thanks a lot for the hint. I surely will pop by every now and then.

Looking forward to some nice babbling and bantering, speaking and spatting....

Cheers,

Johnnie

Welcome to the board. Good luck with that yankee tounge and if I do say so myself, I am some what of an expert of "Broken English"
