I guess it's about time I put in my intro story, all though there is a lot of it strewn around in other posts.
I got my OW certification last June when I had some time off from work. I received my certification from Divers Den in Manchester NH [My instructor has since moved on and opened his own shop up in Concord NH]. Throughout my whole life I've had strange dreams where I was breathing underwater, and I've known for a long time tha I was destined to be a diver. I finally decided to take the plunge when I had that time off, and my best friend [Bushman] was in need of a buddy to fetch some of his lobster traps that he got caught up on the wreck off Cape Cod that he fishes his traps.
About a month after I received my certification, I hooked up with MetroWest Dive Club down in Framingham MA [near my office] and that's where I met MSilvia, who told me about this site.
Next weekend bushman and I are taking our AOW @ Northeast Scuba in Chelmsford. My current plan is to get my Nitrox certification from Discover Diving in Atkinson, NH... as I continue to check out the different instructors in the area.
A little more about myself. I met bushmon back in Jr. High School, and we taught skiing together for a number of years at Nashoba Valley. We've also been racing at Nashoba [as the Funky Monks] since 1994.
I work as a software engineer in Framingham, MA... doing TCP/IP programming on the VMS operating system. I went to UNH and graduated as a Mathematics major. I recently did a search on google and have found newsgroup postings I wrote back in 1991
Well, that's my basic story. It's nice to find a home where people are friendly and excited about diving. I know I have a place to stay dreaming when I'm not able to get myself in the water!
