I first was doing a bit of online research for a vacation in 2005 and discovered SB, then shortly after I joined I posted a question about a good place to take my kids when they first certified, and DeputyDan and Herman invited us to join them on Bonaire.
That set the hook, both for Bonaire, and for meeting and diving with SB members. I went back to Bonaire with a SB group hosted by Cardzard in 2010, and then hosted my own SB/DNY group trip this year. DNY alone helped me meet many dozen SB characters.
I have met and dived with folks threw SB, and run into SB folks while diving, both on trips to warm waters, and locally.
I can't count the number of SB friends I have met and dive with, even if I take my shoes off, and count on my toes. After I run out of fingers and toes, I just say lots.
And I do mention Scubaboard to other divers. If other divers do not want to hear the words, "ScubaBoard" that is their problem, and not mine. FTITCTAJ.
