Merry Christmas from a new diver in Calgary, AB, Canada!

[dmcmillan]

Hi Everyone,

I am brand new to diving, just took my PADI Open Water course and done my pool dives; I will be doing my Open Water dives in Ambergris Caye, Belize in February. I am still looking for and buying gear, but am excited to start exploring.

Any helpful advice would be appreciated. Thanks.


Dave

Welcome! There is an incredibly active dive community in Calgary supported by four great shops.

Welcome Dave!

Haven't dove Ambergris, but pretty much everywhere else in Belize (Caye Caulker to Placencia and in between). Nice warm waters, great viz, and relaxed diving.

Howdy and welcome to Scubaboard! :admingreet:

Got DAN dive insurance? Have a great trip and skip the Blue Hole. They will take anyone there.

Check out the Calgary Underwater Outlaws and the Alberta Underwater Council for events in Calgary and across Alberta.

Great to have another diver here on the board from Canada. Calgary is a bit of a drive as I am in Ontario but I will not hold that against you

Enjoy Ambergis. I will be in the Exumas in February.
Something about too much snow here..

Welcome to the board neighbor. Time to stay warm. Presume you have some cold weather coming your way. The wind in MT should stop tomorrow as we drop back below freezing in the afternoon.
