local OW training info

[Willie]

Welcome to scubaboard. I just got certified last Oct. It was something I always thought I would like to try, but just never got around to. I am hooked. I am on a limited budget so I used rental gear for the classes. Gear was included by my shop in the price - except for fins/mask. I then bought some good used gear. My bet is you get hooked. Either way, hope you enjoy the training.

Scuba requires slightly more intelligence than that of rockcrawling and offroading (jeep), but most anyone can handle it.

granted i go offroading with some real stupid people, but..
ah nevermnd. most of them are dumb....

I miss my CJ and I will say I am not DUMB but I did drop alot of money in to that Jeep to just sell it. Shop around for and ask to talk to the instructors. There are a few things I wish I would have done differently. Be abslolutly sure your gear fits. I bought all my personal gear (mask fins booties snorkle) and the only thing I still use is the booties. Nothing really fit me. Mask to small, foot pocket on my fins where to narrow, snorkle is in the bag but it may not be used again.

i havnt looked at this site to much any good foe sale sections? what am i looking at/for what do i stay away from ?......this is alot to swallow all at once ....i need to ask more questions to ray(diesel) before i got on here im such a noobie

 

[Lukiedukie]

There is a sale forum closer to the bottom of the forums but for stuff like masks and fins I would stay with LDS as you can try them on make sure they fit right
