Greetings

[DiverC]

Hello everyone,
I am a Business Admin major at the University of New Hampshire and one of my classes this semester requires that I become part of an internet community. In order to find a fitting community I did some research and came up with a few possible forums that I would join. After finding the ScubaBoard I decided that this was definitely the most interesting place to look. When I was younger I was highly interested in Scuba and my father took me to become a certified open water diver. Since then I have gone on many scuba diving trips in the northern part of the Mediterranean Sea, mostly from locations in Greece where my father now lives, where I saw many amazing things (octopus', eels, scorpion fish, baby sharks, rays, as well as various artifacts buried in the ocean sands). Until I came to this web site and read many of the different threads, I did not realize how many different certification and advancement options there were in the world of Scuba. I have also looked at many of the user-submitted pictures and articles and I am amazed at how much there is that still intregues me. Hopefully I can continue to learn from all of your posts and other various content and feed off of other peoples stories. I haven't been diving in about 4 years now (I am currently 21) and I feel that this site will help motivate me to start diving again while I do this study. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing what everyone has to say.

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. Be sure to check our New2Scuba forum!

You're gonna' report on SB to your college class? Interesting?

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."

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
I hope your interaction with us helps rekindle the flame,
maybe fires you up to decide to become "Diver-'A'" within
short order.
Certainly visiting your father would be enough reason to dive, no?
I hope to see your posts throughout the threads often

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction: I really do have to work on modifying this note!!!
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

Hey there!

What an interesting reason to join. I think you couldn't have made a better choice. This is truly one of the most friendly and informative communities online. There are a lot of unique ways that scubaboard excels above other boards/lists I am on, not the least of which is this greeting area.

Be sure to check out all the clubs, equipment forums, off topic forums, etc. I think you'll find that this is a real community in every sense of the word.

Small world...my brother in law graduated from UNH with a business degree.

Hope you are inspired to blow bubbles again soon!

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

... and thinking positively about you getting motivated to dive again... welcome back to diving!

I hope this site helps you with your school project and that after the project is over that we get to see your continued participation.

Don't forget to fill out your profile and dive info, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, once we know where you are geographically from your profile, you may find that you'll have a whole bunch of new dive buddies to choose from locally.

Dive safe!

Christian

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 repsond to in this forum.
