Hello!

Hello everyone!

I'm a long time diver-wannabe and am going this weekend to complete my OW Certification under PADI. I'm so excited!

I actually started SCUBA back in college (too many years ago), where I took a course offered. I completed the course, which included an Advanced Lifeguard certification, but because I was a poor college student, I couldn't afford to go on any OW dives, so never competed certification.

Finally, I'm finishing what I started and beginning a brand new chapter in my life (or so I like to think)!

Hi and welcome to the boards!

I did the same thing -- did the class & pool work, and then was unable to do the final open water check-out dives because of weather (upstate New York in late fall is pretty damn cold) and lack of $$$. Fast-forward nearly 18 years...after snorkeling my entire life...my wife buys me a NAUI class with the LDS for my birthday.

Hook...line...sinker...(rod...reel...tackle box...live well...rod racks... cooler...engine...steering wheel...HELL, the whole damn boat!).

You know the story. Wish I could make up those 18 years!!!!!
