Hi from Long Beach Island, NJ

[matthewpartrick]

Hello,

new to ScubaBoard so hello from Long Beach Island, NJ. I'm relatively new to diving, having been certified in 2007. I am an ER doc as well as being trained in hyperbaric medicine. I work here at the Jersey Shore in the ER as well as HBO; I also participate in some expedition medicine work. If anyone lives in the NYC/Philly/NJ area, I will be hosting a diving medicine symposium at Rutgers U in New Brunswick NJ on Oct 3rd of this year. Several interesting lectures from experts in our field. Totally free. Please see full announcement under "Events" on this board.

Thanks

Welcome to SB. You can find local divers on the North Eastern US subforum, and the Dive NY subforum is very active.

Thanks for the event listing, I'll have to see if my resident diving nurse wants to go.

Welcome from a fellow LBI-diver!

Will definitely look into the program at Rutgers. Sounds interesting.

You should also join over at www.wreckvalley.com; would be great to have a local medical expert as part of our membership.

PS - come join us aboard the Gypsy Blood sometime!
