Hey there, I'm new to this forum and fairly new to diving...I got PADI certified in May, but between school, work, and a ridiculously long bike trip, I haven't been able to get out since. I have just finished buying all my own dive gear though, and am about to embark on a marine biology program through northeastern university that will take me from the north shore of massachussetts to the island of Moorea in French Polynesia and finally to Catalina Island in California. The majority of our classes are going to held at least partially underwater (I am VERY excited for this). The program starts in September. The problem is that I need to get in a few dives before I start, and instead of being in Boston as usual, I'm going to be in Rochester all next week. I'm not at all familiar with diving in Rochester, and I don't know anyone who is certified back home either. Would anyone, out of the kindness of their heart, take pity and go diving with me? I know it sucks to go diving with a noob, but it would help me out so so much. At the very least, does anyone know any charter groups that are going out between next monday and next friday?
Cheers!
