Meeting other Scubaboard members.

[Sue-ba]

Not really new to scubaboard but it has been a little while since I logged in. I am just wondering, how often do you meet up with other scubaboard members. I just returned from Cozumel and while there, I kept wondering if any of my fellow divers were Scubaboard members. I asked a couple of them if they were members but had no luck.

I would like to start putting faces with the names of all our friends on Scubaboard.

Quite frequently members will post where they're going, and ask "Hey if you're in the neighbourhood..." and folks link up.

This is done mainly through the many "clubs" areas.

The more folks you have in the area, the more likely you'll soon be meeting your fellow SBers.

I've dived with about ten scubaboard members now in the past 8 or 9 months. Hopefully going this weekend with a couple more.

This board has been invaluable in resuming my diving activity. It's easy to find someone to dive with now!

Well, I've now gone diving twice with ScubaBoard buddies. I've had dinner with another (and our wives) but no diving (yet!). Now that I have my GLWC t-shirt, I've been wearing that to the dive site and I should (finally!) have my ScubaBoard shirt to start wearing around, too! (Oh, and my ScubaBoard mug from www.ScubaBoardDeals.com, but the few other divers at work don't visit the board ((and I shouldn't be on here from work either!!)) and most of them don't dive actively. Hmm... How often should one have to actually dive in order to call him/herself a "diver"?)

I agree with DivingGal. That's how things are usually done in South Florida. We host lots of our virtual friends down here on dives. Be sure to post a note if you're in the area!

Best wishes and safe ascents,

Of course, the easiest way to meet new SB members is to come to one of our beach dives in South Florida...

So, you pretty much have to plan ahead to get together? I don't think I will be running into too many of you here in the desert. There should be a way to just identify each other when you have not made prior arrangements. Maybe I should get a scubaboard shirt.

I have met a few members from the scubaboard. Most were on purpose and one was by chance. I have received PM's from people saying they are headed my way, and if I "wanna meet up?" or thru the Ohana Forum. As said, the best way is to post it in a forum that during this and this time period you are going where ever...who else is gonna be there? Another sure sign is ScubaBoard clothing me, for one, wear my ScubaBoard T-shirt everyday that I'm on the boat and sometimes when I go thru Waikiki (yes I do wash it between wears ).

I've only met two. And a near miss w/ a third. The T-shirts will help, especially at events like Our World-Underwater.
