Greetings from North Carolina

[toddje]

Hello everyone! My daughter always wanted to learn to SCUBA dive. So last year in October we did our open water carts while on a cruise. It was fantastic. I’m hooked. She is too. Of course, I’m OLD - does 47 make me an old scuba diver? Looking forward to learning a lot from this community. Thanks for letting me in.

Sweet mary, I hope 47 isn't old. Welcome o the board!! Even if you are ageist towards others and possibly yourself.

I live just south of Raleigh. Headed to Myrtle this weekend to spend some more time in the water. The cruise ship instructor was awesome, but I’m thinking a bit more instructor time won’t hurt....

Lol - I don’t feel old. Seems like there’s some ‘extra inspection’ of everything after you hit 40 on the waivers and such.

Welcome to SB! You've got great diving in NC - Wilmington area and Morehead City/Beaufort are my favorite places to dive.

make sure to also join Raleigh Area Divers and Down Under Divers on Facebook as that is an active local community.
I'd recommend contacting Rusty for some individual instruction in the Raleigh area. Tell him I sent you to contact him.

Welcome! It was a life long dream but I didn’t get to learn scuba until age 50. It was my birthday present to myself!

Welcome aboard from Canada. I started at age 51 (66) now. Too bad the shore diving in NC/SC is pretty much non-existent. I did do a couple of charters in 2011 with Coastal Scuba in N. Myrtle-- pretty good.
