Greetings From Sunny Edinburgh

[Benjiballs]

Hi all
Thought I'd join this forum as I've been dropping in every now and then for a quick look. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland and yes, I dive here too. Dry suits, big torches, rain, snow, WWII wrecks, low visibility etc...I love it. I'm a BSAC (British Sub-Aqua Club) Dive Leader. I'm also possibly looking to head abroad next summer to become an instructor. If anyone knows of any good schools/organisations looking for staff thn please let me know.
Cheers
Ben

Welcome to Scubaboard. I was in Edinburg many years ago and loved it. Some day I would like to go back.

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
Glad you're here.
We have a large contingent of divers from the
British Isles, check out "The UK Wreck Ferrets"
forum to find dive buddies near you.
I hope to see your posts often as
I bumble about the board.

I need inspiration to revise my stock message. Maybe if I read over may last couple hundred welcoming messages. Hmm. Maybe.
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom

Hi Ben,

Welcome to the board..

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll simply click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. My favorite is at the bottom: Singles Dive Club.

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and seperately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links above to reach those easily. Sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?

PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

Hi Ben
Welcome to the board and good luck with moving up the diving food chain.
Scotland is somewhere I visit periodically to see the wider family, if I have graduated from a 7mm wetsuit to dry I might get in touch before the next visit. Wellington conditions sound a wee bit similar to yours only not quite so if you follow my drift (we do have currents).

Welcome Ben!
I do some traveling to Livingston as my company had a design center there. I would love to arrange a dive trip the next time I'm out that way.

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

It's always good when people come out of the shadows.

Dive safe!

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or respond to in this forum.
