Hello from Afghanistan

[TampaOW]

It's time I introduce myself. I'm a PADI Divemaster who intends to take the next step and get into an IDC program. However, my goals are on hold for another eight months while I complete this tour in Kandahar. When I return I expect to move to Newport, RI. Does anyone know if there is a PADI 5-Star facility there, from which I could earn an OWI certification? I am interested in Advanced NITROX and Decompression courses too. Cheers!

Welcome! Hope you can meet all your diving goals. I recently finished some time in A-stan myself and I wish you a safe finish to your time there. Can't help you much with RI but can suggest that you take some of that hard earned money and complete your IDC in a nice tropical location as a reward to yourself.

Best Wishes,
Gabe

Welcome, and I echo Jim's post from above, thanks for your service.

I'm sure some folks from the RI area will be around soon to offer answers to your questions, or check out the regional forums.
