Heya,

I've been using the board for a while already, mostly as a great source of information. I suppose it's time to get rid of that header which asks me to post a introduction (no really, I'm sure it's a good idea anyway).

As the title sort of indicates, I'm having a identity crisis. I'm originally from Finland, lived in Spain for a couple of years as a kid, then back to the cold and dark country and never felt like home there and now I've ended up living in Boston, MA. I've also spent considerable amount of time in all places between and fell in love with Asia, which might become my new home some day in the future.

I've always been a diver at heart, spent most of my time in the pool as a kid, then in the ocean with snorkel during my travels and finally got certified in Thailand in year 2000. After returning home, I got my first set of gear for $500 and started diving actively whereever I happened to be.

Happy to be a New England diver today, I prefer the ocean here to coral reefs and pretty fish. I enjoy the challenges in diving and the pretty fish don't deliver that very consistently.

Future for me looks like maybe moving towards scuba instruction (which I've found is very challenging), cave / tech diving and other adventures.

That's it.. I better stop before this book becomes too thick.

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
Happy that you've jumped into the fray.
Looks like you have a penchant for writing. I look forward to reading your missives in the threads often.

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

Howdy!

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

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location. 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." :thumb:

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

Maybe you should have tried "Dive Gypsy" as a screen name! :D

Dive safe!

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or repsond to in this forum.
