hello, i have been browsing here for about 3 weeks and decided to join in. i was certified in july, have about 12 dives under my belt, and have enjoyed every last minute of it. i hope to be able to contribute in the future, but will be reading and asking questions to soak up knpwledge. also thanks for all the info provided here as it helped me make my decision on the equipment i just purchased. will be headed to the bahmas in november, first blue water dive and cant hardly wait.
