Hello everyone!

[Scubaguy62]

I've been introduced to your group by Scuba_Jenny. Currently I'm Padi AOW, Rescue, and Nitrox certified and doing my DM training. I'm also a member of E-Divers and I look forward to sharing experiences with you all. I'm not one to hold one agency over the other because in my opinion, diving certification agencies are much like different religions, all trying to get to the same goal in different ways and with different perspectives. So with that in mind, I look forward to sharing what I've learned with you guys and learning from those of you who have and wish to share their knowledge with me. At the moment I do mostly beach diving because my wife (who also dives) and I just had a baby 6 months ago and she's at home with the baby, so its merely due to economics, but hopefully we will start doing some boat diving very soon and a lot more often.

Hopefully we'll get to join some of you South Florida Divers very soon. And for those of you who do not live in south florida, I'll be happy to share info on the local dive scene if and when you decide to visit.

Semper safe,

Rick

And welcome to SB. :wavey: Put us in your Favorites and check in often.

And good on Scuba_Jenny for getting you here! {Intros work better in the Intreo forum, though - I think; maybe we can get it moved there...?}

Hey Rick
Glad you made it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Good diving with ya on Sunday. It was a pleasure to be your buddy. I look forward to many more dives and swapping kids so everybody can get some compressed air!
Check out the Florida Conch Divers Club here. This is where you will find all the stuff goin' on in our fair state. The Ginnie Springs trip I was talking about is up at the top in Private Trips.

Welcome aboard Scubaguy, hope We can all get together soon as well for a beach dive in the next few weeks. Congrats on your newbie baby and is he/she ready to go diving with all of us by the summer.

How did you manage to have the baby, did it hurt much, did you have a C Section?

She's already been in the water, it was just too cold for her and I've not been able to find a wetsuit her size yet; still looking though....

How did you manage to have the baby, did it hurt much, did you have a C Section?

Fair question....no, I'm not trying to copy the current governor of California, but.....well, it's a wife thing...
