Hey there y'all!
I've been a lurker for years, but never made the jump to creating an account on here.
When I first started diving and was clueless on topics like what equipment to choose, what the difference is between piston and diaphragm 1st stages, and what is a balanced reg, I could always count on y'all at ScubaBoard!
As I am now going to be frequently diving, and finally have my full set of equipment, I have decided to take theplunge dive and join this community too. 
I hope to at least be able to contribute to the community, and a big portion of my interest is modifying and DIY-ing gears and attachments to better suit individual needs. I guess I'm a bit of a tinkerer at heart.
A little about me:
I used to be a marine biologist, however I'm currently working on wetlands conservation. My future plans are to get a PhD in marine biology, so I basically get the dive for free for 2 out of the 4 years of my PhD project during the fieldwork components.
My favorite phrase:
Here's a little shameless plug from my end on the paper we published:
Examining the giant barrel sponge species complex: molecular and microbial differentiation of Xestospongia testudinaria in Singapore
