Hello everyone

[ifukuda]

I've been on this board for a couple of weeks, but, I forgot to introduce myself. So ... HELLO EVERYONE!

I'm from Japan, but, I currently work (and of course dive) in Los Angeles. I'm still a newbie (I just got my PADI OW + AOW cert this year), but I am already addicted to diving. I must admit that I've already called in sick to work one day because I just HAD to go diving. I have already gotten alot of advice from many members of this board regarding equipment, proper weighting, etc.. I hope I make many friends here. Diving is a great sport, every diver I have met in So Cal was a great person.

I usually dive around the Palos Verdes peninnsula (Malaga Cove, Redondo Beach, etc.). If you have recommendations on other good dive spots in So Cal, please let me know.

Here's a belated Welcome for ya then. I'm in San Diego, so I don't do much beach diving up there, but we do hop on the occasional boat trip. Lemme know if you want to be notified when we go.

ifukuda.........welcome to the family. l am sure that your not the first to ditch work to dive. The trick is, is to find a boss that loves to dive and voila !!!! Instant boss sanctioned dive days.

Syruss... you got me, at least! I've been a bad, bad regulator the past week... not checking people's posts... not regulating anyone (! )

But WELCOME ifukuda from a fellow scuba addict in Thailand! Tell us how you come to be working in LA?

I'm sure we're going to be seeing a lot of you on the boards.

Enjoy yourself here - we all do.

First, a late welcome to the board!
Secondly, you'll find it hard not to make friends on this board...people just keep coming and coming - meant in the cleanest sense!

See you round the board!

Keralucu,

It is okay everyone is allowed one mistake a year. I personally am a big fan of stockpiling. So I personally am caught up on mistakes till the year 4092 currently. Now that's being pro-active!

Ahh..Scubababy....well nevermind hehehehe

 

[ifukuda]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!!
