I fell in love with diving since my first breath of compressed air and couldn't let a day pass without mentioning the word "dive"...

I would love to make scuba diving as my career as soon as I get my resources.

I hope to dive with you. Been wanting to dive every month but got no regular group to join. Hopefully, I'll get to know people from here
