Greetings to all " the lurker comes forth"

[Heavy Breather]

:11ztongue I just started following this board to get a feel for it.
So here goes. Iv'e put information into my profile as suggested but have yet to insert a suitible photo. Maybe by the end of the day.

At present I have 6 weeks vacation coming and 3 will be in Cayman, and 2 in Bikini Atoll. Yes it's taken me a few years to get to Bikini but finally the TDI Tech group has organized an expedition to Bikini in Sept. for 2 weeks. Last major trip I joined was to Truk last year with 12 other Closed Circuit Rebreather divers. Anyone interested in the results of that trip I'll be happy to forward them my lecture that I wrote for the club.

My problem in the last few years is finding trips that include singles, AND is real tech diving. A few years ago I have talked to a fellow instructor about setting up a tech diver data base for trips around the world just for tech divers. Not always hard core stuff but something to keep everyone interested. I'm looking to get back to Galapagoes next May/05. There is a new livaboard out there and maybe I check it out. The group plans to head north up to Darwin and Wolf Rocks. Thats where all the action was last time. Any way I gotta go.
I'll post a report of Zero Gravity and Bikini Atoll when I get back.

Welcome aboard, HB.

Your skill level is way above mine, but I love hearing trip reports. I have dreams of going tech someday in the dark and distant future, and CCR seems to be a great way to extend bottom time.

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

I imagine that you'll be able to find people to dive here with that have similar training and equipment.

It sounds like maybe one of your best options might even be to plan some trips with like minded people from around the world. You may find that some of them could get the same time off as yourself.

Of course, you may even be able to hook up with like minded people that actually live where you are going. Then you'd have a buddy and a built in tour guide.

Dive safe!

There are a lot of nice and informative scuba divers. It's a good place to meet other divers and share experiences and dreams. Take care from Matt.

I just joined the boards too. The "Dan Grenier Missing at Sea" thread got me here since I've dove with Dan in Fiji. I'm headed to Palau, Majuro, and then Bikini myself next week. Will be in Bikini in late Oct. I'll look forward to your report when I return & I'll post mine.
