Hmmm...another guy from Florida so it seems

Hello everyone..I've been reading this site for a few days now and decided to join up knowing that I could get a lot from being a part of this group. I hope to give a lot, and get a lot of good information as well.

I think some folks who read for too long before jumping in - can get intimidated and leave. There are some pretty intense forums on this board for beginners to absorb, however, there is plenty for newbies too, and everyone in between.

Tell us more about your diving background?

I think Paul B, as Scubababy said, has found where all the fun is... (Just in the "Hottest Female" thread )

Another smart guy in here ! Welcome to the board !

I started out diving not too long ago. I've only been doing it for about a year. So far I've logged (off the top of my head and not checking my dive log) about 70 dives. I have my aow and I do a lot of spring and shore diving. I'll be getting my wreck and cave cert soon.
AS for reading too much first and getting intimidated...I think that reading a lot of it persuaded me even more into joining. It's great to be able to talk to so many people that have the same interest as me....and from what I've read so far....are knowledgable in the sport and have a great sense of humor. I love it
Amanda...so far...it has been fun and I look foward to even more of it

thanks for the extra details. Glad your on-board.

Paul welcome, I have to admit I'm jealous seeing that you live in Florida. My only tropical diving was done in Australia and I loved it. We have good diving here in the Pacific Northwest but it's nothing like tropical....

Yeah...something has to be said about only having to use a wet suit a couple of months out of the year or unless you go to springs and such.

Seventy warm water dives in a year. Nice! You're very fortunate. Welcome aboard from the snowy Northeast.
