Hello everyone,

Recently moved to New Orleans after spending some great college years in Tallahassee, FL (go Noles!) and doing some great diving throughout FL. I've been diving unofficially for about 20 years now. My father "taught" me to dive when I was 8 and the interest took off from there. Got the first "real" certification when I turned 14 and I've continued with it since then. Take care, everybody!
 
Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

Sounds like you had some cool times diving with your dad!

Dive safe!

Christian

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or repsond to in this forum.

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and :D the friendliest!
If you'll simply click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. My favorite is at the bottom: Singles Dive Club.

That's an interesting introduction to diving. Bet you have some stories to tell!

Sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help? PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message." :thumb:

Welcome to the board. With your experience, I'm sure you'll have lots to contribute to our newbies!

Be sure to check out the local clubs to locate dive buddies in LA. Of course, if you're back in FL, you're welcome to check out the Florida Conch Divers forum. Lots of good folks and great divers there.

Best wishes and safe ascents,
Grier

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!
With twenty years of such varied experience, I'm sure you'll be able to jump right in and help those of us who are still struggling with all of this new stuff.
Hope to see you in the threads.

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction:
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom
