Hello, my names Josh and I

[Joshv2]

and I've been out of water for too damn long.

I honestly think the last time I was in water (other than a pool) was about 12 years ago when I was in Australia on the Great Barrier.


Well, now Ive decided to toss what's left of my mind out the window, dump my current life, move to St.Croix, and take up scuba diving (did it once, loved it, sat on my *** for 12 years).

I'm just so sick of sitting, or standing around with a glazed look in my eyes at work, and slowly watching my stomach stretch over my feet.

It is kinda neat to be 30, and be able to do something that only a damn 20 year old would think of. Its always fun to "run" away from home I guess.

Sounds like you are going to have a great time... I'm jealous! Welcome to ScubaBoard, if you have any questions or problems, or you just want to chat... PM me! Otherwise, I hope to get to know you better around the boards!

WELCOME to ScubaBoard Josh!!!
And congratulations on doing what
you're doing so young! I was out
32 years and just got back - WHAT
was I thinking?

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction: I really do have to work on modifying this note!!!
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

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and 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.

If you haven't already, it would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and seperately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links above to reach those easily. 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."
