Greetings from the great brown

Okay, I'm the second longest lurker on record--since November 2002 when I learned to dive (just got my Master Scuba Diver rating). I live in Abu Dhabi (go to Saudia Arabia and hang a right)--do most of my diving in the Gulf of Oman, with the occasional trip to Maldives/Malaysia/Indonesia. My wife and I dive together and have about 150 dives each. I'm just now starting to explore the whole DIR thing, so I'll probably be spending a lot more time here. Been real nice reading all the friendly (okay, sometimes combative) advice :dazzler1: .

Cool areas to dive! Like you, most of my diving is Indian Ocean/Red Sea/S China sea stuff. I live in India and travel to do my diving. Have you done any dives in the Saudi Red Sea? I believe that is quite special!

Welcome aboard!

Nah, haven't done it yet, although it's in my future while I'm living out here. Unfortunately, Saudi is off limits to my right now due to my job and the situation. Thinking about a liveaboard this winter off the coast of Sudan, however.

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

I've been looking into DIR for a while myself and I think you'll find some great information on the board about it.

Dive safe!
