Hello everyone, I've recently (to me at least) moved to the Columbus, GA area and would like to meet some of the local divers and dive clubs.
I lived in the Manhattan, Kansas area for about 11 years, and had a great local shop while I was there. We had a great dive club that I enjoyed being a part of, taking trips with, having interesting and informative club meetings, and being involved in those meetings. I still talk with this club, but would like to find the same sort of great people and cameraderie that I had with this club.
I did one trip to Panama City Beach last year, but was deeply disappointed by the dive shop that I went with; only the shop owner was willing to talk with me, no one wanted to converse or introduce themselves, and I was left with the impression that no one wanted me in their group. So, between that, the fact that I haven't found any clubs in the Columbus area with a web search, and work (I travel often) I didn't get back to diving the Gulf Coast last year.
But this year, I really would like to get much more diving done there! I'm used to a weekend trip being a 6 hour drive, so the three hours to PCB is awesome for me. I'd love to find a club or group in the area to join and participate with, as well as someone (or some people) to regularly buddy with.
So if there's any groups that would like another involved, committed, active and safe diver to join them, please let me know! Thanks!
