Howdy All-
Ive been a Maryland AOW diver since 1989.
I started diving after my father passed away....I didnt want to see his gear disappear. I grew up with him actively diving, but he got away from it before I was old enough to get involved.
Other than his Mark 5 regs from 1970 and a Darell Allen light, Ive retired most all of his other gear. (Including his knife which took up the whole length of my calf.)
I wreck dive off MD and DE, and dive in the 5 or so quarries within a reasonable drive, oyster dive on occasion, and spent a lot of time cleaning boats when I started out.
Ive had trips to Florida, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. I have a live-a-board trip to the Bahamas scheduled for this summer.
Ive found Scubaboard to be a great wealth of info. Its great to see such a strong dive community out there with such a passion for the sport.
When Im not underwater, Im on it pursing my other escape...whitewater kayaking.
Happy downtime,
Chummer
 
Hey Chummer,

Welcome to the board. I've only been on the board for about 5 months but find myself looking through the posts every day or so. Kind of addictive, since there's a lot of good people on here.

I'm in SE FL, so if you're looking for warmer water before your liveaboard, give me a PM and I'll dive with you.
 
HI Chummer!
Welcome to scuba board!
Glad to have you aboard. :monkeydan
 
Hi Chummer,

Welcome to the boards.

That is so cool that you used your Dads old gear. I'm sure that would have made him proud to see you have an interest in his hobby.
 
Glad you've joined in!!
 
My dad told me about the gear he dove with to get abalone - something about a bucket, garden hose and a bicycle pump. He said you could tell when the guy in the canoe was getting tired of pumping 'cause the water level in the inverted bucket would rise:eek_2:
Don't think I'll follow in his fins on that stuff :D
 
Yes, like everyone esle has foound this to be a great wealth of knowledge, you have also.

Welcome to our little corner of the world.
