Hello from France !
I am 65 and just started scuba diving. I live in the south of France close to the sea so we can practice there.
When I was around 12 I already started scuba diving in a pool around Paris but the other kids were quite older than me (around 16/18 years old) so I found it a bit difficult to follow and I quit after a while ! It took me some time to start again but here I am (with my wife) ready to go !
We started last October in a club to get or N1. It takes normally a few months as it is in a club (it goes slow but quite thoroughly). We already dived 4 times in the sea (one was just a discover dive) but now the water is a bit cold so the next sea dive should be around March. I expect to try the AOW this summer... We will see !
Happy new year and nice dives for 2022 !
 
Welcome to ScubaBoard @passeparici and congratulations on getting back the water. Now the fun starts.
 
Welcome
 
Hello and welcome (from SW France actually) !

As I say to any new fellow diver : beware, diving is an addiction ! :D

On a more serious tone : where are you diving ? I'm always curious about that, trying to discover new places I guess. Marseille ? Le Var ?

Have fun and dive safe.

As I am only starting, at Sausset les Pins (close to Marseille). But the next dives should be around the Calanques. that's where it is suppose to be the nicest here. Many nice places to dive around Marseille. Get in touch with the schools in Marseille, they will tell you about the nice spots. I will tell you more in a year or two :D

Dived for 4 seasons in Cassis, and 2 in La Ciotat. Loved it, but the Mistral wasn't really friendly, so I've decided to go somewhere else. Was hoping to go back to Marseille, but the last 2 years weren't really good for travelling, even in my own country... :wink:
 
Bordeaux France was one of my favorite places to visit. Welcome to the board.
