Greetings from St Louis

[Kingsley Zissou]

Hi Everybody!

I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for all the great info. I have been lurking in the forum shadows for a few weeks now and I decided today to go legit and start contributing.

I live in the St Louis area and I am currently studying and waiting patiently for my OW cert class. My wife is getting certified as well. It was actually her idea to try a discover scuba class that started the whole thing.

We have a great LDS nearby who has helped us with everything so far. Between the staff there and the wise posters here, I have learned a lot already.

Thanks again.

Hello; Welcome aboard, 20+ years ago my wive and I did the discovery scuba in key largo. Came back to springfeild, Mo and got certified. Hope you and yours have as much FUN diving as we do!!!!

We are going through TGADC in St Charles. Doing our open water dives at Mermet Springs. Can't wait!

 

[Bob Vincent]

Mermet is a great place to get wet. They have a ton of stuff in there. Look them up on line ... very cool place.

The people there are very nice and go out of their way so you'll have a good dive. From helping repair a free flowing reg, to offering a reg to use, to giving some great potato soup to a very hungry person after diving all day! Glen the owner is a way cool person.

Ask when you go is there a chance on playing any Buffet tunes on the underwater sound system!

 

[Bob Vincent]

Tell me when you get done how you enjoyed it!

If you can for around $30 you can get a camera to record pictures for your first dives. Look at the Great American Dive Co. are on the net. Make sure you get one with a flash and good to 100ft. (35mm reloadable)

Again ... good luck ... have fun ...
