Scuba_Gemma:
Hey! I figured I would join a forum and talk to some fellow divers. Im 20, Junior in college, going to Eckerd College, St. Petersburg FL.
I just started diving two years ago so its pretty new to me. Hopefully i can get some good advice on equiptment, cause i think there are some places down here wanting to rip me off.
WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
You'll find more advice than you can imagine here.
Pretty soon, you'll probably be giving some too.
Jump right in, hope to see you around.
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
