Wow it's nice to find fellow divers over at this board. Im actually one of those lone divers that seek for fellow divers to dive with. I began diving with 2 friends and all of them are just too lazy to dive at this point. Wish you guys can plan a meeting or something where I can join. Im just sooo itching to dive again. It has been a month since my last one.
