Looking for new dive buddies!

[SparkySFD]

If this is in the wrong place mods please move it.

Do you live in S.W. Missouri? Like to dive there?

I planned on diving today. Buddies bailed at the last minute. This got me thinking. I need to have a nice base of buddies I can call to go diving with.

I, like most are busy. I only get certain times to dive and dont like to blow them.

If anyone is looking for a dive buddy in the S.W. Missouri area post here or send me a message. I would like to say Im a DIR diver. But I do commit one unpardonable sin. I use a computer in addition to proper dive planning.

SSI Master diver
Certified Nitrox

Specialties:

Thanks

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..........too bad you're not in SoCal, I would dive with you! Did you check to see if there is a MO section for you under the club section??? If not, maybe the can 'create' a forum for you there.

Good luck!

I did check, but no sections for Missouri. Most all states around me but not mine.

You are in the "North America not served by the clubs" Club http://www.scubaboard.com/f26.html....I will move this over there so you can find some buddies.
Good Luck!

If you ever need a buddy and can give some advance time I could probably dive with you. I too am SSI and working at my specialties to become a Master diver by winter. That's my goal anyways. My LDS has recommended that I take Night/ nav, Nitrox and Stress and rescue next. I did one dive with my instructor who is a captain of a dive rescue team for the Sheriffs Dept. in limited vis and he shut my air off to see how I would react and commenced to just messing with me by loosing equipment including my weight belt, he even entangled me, when we surfaced he said that he had never dived with a student in low vis on the first go around that performed, and breathed so calmly in such poor vis before. Signed off on me after that one dive. To make a long story short, I build docks for farm ponds and the area lakes, I set posts on preformed concrete based of sufficient weight as not to allow the docks to float up during high water. I move them to where I need them with likt bags. I had been doing this for years without a c-card. Finally decided to get one. Limited vis is what I'm mostly use to. Who ever said that a person couldn't be self taught. I wouldn't recommend it though! Sorry I wrote a book. Just wanted you to know a little about my experience should you want to dive together. I too need a base of buddies.
