Hello To All

[ironcityscuba]

Hello everyone,
Just a bit about me i started diving in 2004 did my open water diver with ACUC and didn't have 12 dives and i made the switch to tech diving. I was taken under the wing of one of the best tech divers in Newfoundland "Diver Joe" {Joe Earls} he took me and taught me everything i needed to know to start out tech diving over a 4 year period. I completed my advanced and rescue with in 4 years with PADI and then did my dive master with SDI. and two years ago i completed my SDI/ TDI instructors.

I am a Type 1 diabetic on a insulin pump and was told i would never dive again but with some trial and experimenting over the last 5 years i have got it down path for deco diving or long hauls up to 2 hours under the waves. REALLY enjoy diving and i want to pass along what i have learned to others who want to learn.

Thanks guy and gals

Welcome. Good to have you. You're new to the board but already have more dives than I may have when I die someday! Crazy. Glad the diabetes didn't knock you out of it.

Richard.
