it's official

[GlowWorm]

I'm officially in love with scuba diving! I just did my check out dives, and even though it was in a lake where viz sucked and there were a ton of other divers, it was so fun. Just the fact I was under water breathing...not in a pool, and swimming with fish! The water felt great and I did a great job at diving. Needless to say I'm definitely hooked and I can't wait until I can get back in! Especially in an ocean. There is nothing like the world under the sea.

True dat.

Keep on diving, it only gets better, and so does the viz.

Welcome GlowWorm! I'm sure that most people on SB can agree that this is just the tip of the iceberg. From shipwrecks to sea turtles, there is so much to see. The best advice I can give you is keep diving. Even if it is in small lake with low visibility. The more experience you get, the more fun you can have. If you are looking for some dive buddies, consider hooking up with a local dive club. Your dive shop usually has their finger on the pulse of the local dive scene, so that would be a good place to start.

Congrats! Just like you I was hooked from the start. There is nothing so peaceful as dropping into that blue silent world. For me its zen. I like it so much, when I'm not diving, I'm here reading about diving lol. I just wish I lived a little closer to the ocean, and had more friends with certifications that actually go diving...

Haha, if you think you love it now, just wait until you get some place with great vis and ton's of life! It easily turns into an obsession. Congrats on completing the course.

Im in the same boat as you - I'm totally hooked and just got my c-card last week too!

Congratulations. Since you are still in school, consider a course of study that will allow you to combine your love for scuba with your career path. If you love what you do, it's not really work
