New diver from California

[esiegel91]

Just wanted to say whats up. I just joined the forum, names Eric. Im active duty air force stationed at March ARB in riverside, ive been in for 5 years, almost 6 now actually. Im a KC-135 crew chief. from FL originally but just got stationed out here recently before that i was in wichita KS. just wanted to introduce myself to you guys!. Just got back from a trip to st. Thomas and my father in law convinced me to go diving with him (didn't have to do much convincing since Ive wanted to since I was a little kid) we dove with a guide and the guide said I was a natural so he took me along with the "advanced" guys to coki beach and we dove a max of 48 ft. It was so amazing!! Now I'm hooked and as soon as I get back to california I'm going to register to get my certification...anyway...sorry for rambling I'm just so excited lol...thanks for looking

I hear California has some excellent diving, especially down south. Good luck with your certification. You're going to love it! Nothing to apologize for being excited.

Be sure to report back when you get your cert, or if you have any questions about getting it. SoCal diving will not be like what you experienced in St. Thomas, but it is still great diving!

Yes, I kinda figured that lol. Does anyone know where I can go to get certified for a decent price. I'm not to worried about price as much as learning correctly but it would be nice to get a nice price and great knowledge :thumbup:

Hi to all fellow divers, my husband and myself have been diving for a little over a year. WOW what an amazing sport! We live in central Florida and have been diving at our local springs and down in WPB. So far our favorite spot is the Blue Heron Bridge. Can't wait to explore new areas. Talk to you all soon....One Nation Under Water!!

Great to be part of Scubaboard. I live in Monterey, CA. Been diving since 1995. I am a dentist and had the privilege of diving some awesome places with some of our mission projects.
I love to continue diving in even more remote places and helping where I can. Thank you all for sharing your wealth of knowledge. If I can be of any assistance to anyone visiting this
area, let me know.
