Greetings all...

[RoadWarrior]

Heard about this place several months ago and have been poking around. It seems like it's pretty TEC / DIR oriented but very comprehensive and well visited.

My wife and I moved to Alabama last year from Texas. We've been diving 4 or 5 years. My wife likes to log and last I looked she was at 52 dives so I guess I am too.

Before moving to Alabama, where Florida is pretty accessable, the only diving we've done has been the Carib or Mexico. And how wonderful that is.

Anyway, we just dive for fun and we've always been successful at achieving it. At the same time, we're both starting to get more safety concious, more aware of our surroundings and have aquired an interest in capturing some memories so an "UnderWater Camera" is in the near future.

I hope to gain from what seems to be a lot of experience here at this board. Guess I'll be talking to you.

Generally she doesn't like this sort of thing but I don't see a login. How would she do that since we both use the same PC?

Hello RoadWarrior,

why not start with this link: A beginner's guide to the ScubaBoard.Com forums.
It will give you lots of info regarding ScubaBoard.

Please fill out your Public Profile (and Dive Info) using the User CP when you've got the time so we can get to know you a little bit better. If you want to, you can have a look at my Public Profile for inspiration.

For local info and/or buddies, just follow the path or have fun along the way by clicking on any of the given links: ScubaBoard.Com > Regional Travel & Dive Clubs > North America > United States > Deep Dixie Divers.

Your wife is welcome to her own free membership too.

I knew it!!! I knew it!!! I knew it!!! DIR is right there in your profile. There's absolutely no problem with DIR (tec either for that matter) so please don't missunderstand.

In Texas a neighbor was a DM, Rescue, Instructor, Shop Owner, a this and a that and most of all an avid diver. Fact is he is the one who got my wife and I started in it to begin with. He certified us a long time ago. Then, over the years, he got quite upset with me because I didn't want to use Nitrox, (although I do now) I didn't want to buy a Transplate when we started looking at getting our own gear. He wanted me to buy an AquaLung Legend reg and I wanted an Atomic. I wanted weigh integration and he got so upset over that you would have thought I was about to Hairlip-the-Pope.

Anyway, it sort of strained our relationship which I always thought was most unfortunate.

You probably log in automatically. That would require logging on manually.

Another option is creating a second user in Windows.

SAP Consultant huh? Do you work with Mebin, Holcim, Lafarge? they are all customers of ours. I'm Director of International Sales for a Software company. I've been to Amsterdam and Eindhoven 3 or 4 times. Our Director of Software Development is from the Netherlands and I think he's from Eindhoven.

BTW: How do you log on manually? I mean gosh, I just sell the software I don't use it.

You probably see in the top right hand corner the link to LogOut. If you click there and follow instructions you'll get back to the SB homepage where you'll see LogIn fields. Enter your user name and password but make sure that Remember me is not ticked. That way when you leave SB your wife can log on to SB with her own account.

I don't see "Logout" and figured it was all cookie driven. Okay... I'll un-check remember me. Although her first comment was - "I don't have time for that."

Thx

Roadwarrior,

Typing passwords, or not doing so, is an argument you'll have to settle on your own. We know better than to get in the middle of that one!

What we do have for you is a really large collection of divers who dive all sorts of gear, from newbies to old heads. We've got medics, doctors, and researchers here who contribute, so you and your wife can find answers, and sympatico people in all parts of the world very easily.

Welcome aboard! :dazzler1:
