Hello from Colorado new diver

[Colizediver]

Glad to be a part of this group! Pool and class sessions completed and going to Cozumel in April to complete open water certification. My wife and son are working on completing pool dives this weekend so it can be a family activity. We are going back to Belize in November and looking forward to doing more than just snorkeling this time.

I used the forums here to do some research on equipment and gear, very helpful.

Welcome, fellow Coloradoan!

As they say... Colorado... just a few flights away from some fantastic diving!

FYI the aquarium in Denver does an education program that allows you to collaborate with a dive center in the area to dive in the aquarium tanks with your open water certifications-for a cost of course but could be a very cool experience for you and your family in a controlled environment.

In our Dive With The Fish Program you will see moray eels, nurse shark and 400 other creatures!
