Hi everyone, as subject says it all... I don't no s*** about real diving despite having read, watch and studied all material available to prepare my PADI OWD
after 2 years wondering if I should go for it or not, I eventualy signed up with a local instructor/club and can't wait to get wet!
since I do not know a lot , so prepare yourselves for questions (most of them probably irrelevant...!!!!) .........not answers from me...
happy diving and write to you all soon...:diver:

Welcome to the SB. Just about any question you ever could have can be answered here. There is alot of experience here and friendly divers so ask all the questions you want. Also do not be afraid to give your input. Sometimes we instructors have to be reminded of what veiws from new divers are.

Happy and Safe Diving. Now go get wet!

Welcome to the board!
Last week at the CDE one of the instructors told us there are no dumb questions just dumb accidents. Ask away!

mtis2000, welcome to SB! OK, we're fully prepared! Remember, your questions are not irrelevant if there's something you need to know about. Safety is too important, you should fully understand all the material in the course. Keep asking until you get it. If all that fails, I've got this cousin, uh, Vinnie.......Yeah, that's it......Vinnie knows many ways to make you understand...:11:....I'm just kiddin' Relax, take your time, confidence comes with experience. Practice your skills often. Stay active diving. When you can't be diving.......be on ScubaBoard!
