New diver from SF Bay Area!

[Fundive123]

Hi Scubaboard and fellow divers! Just popping in to say Hi from the SF bay area. I've visited scubaboard for a while, but figured it was time to actually register, especially since I am now certified to scuba! I obtained my SSI open water diver certification in June and have only gotten in 16 dives, but all of them have been a blast and great learning experiences. I've only done a few dives, but I'm hooked! Looking forward to go blow bubbles!

Welcome!

Where have you been diving?

Hi fisheater,

I did most of my dives in Monterey(San Carlos beach and Lovers Point), but I have also done a few dives in Lake Oroville and Negro State Park in Sacramento.

Hi Peter C,

Thank you for letting me know that there is a NorCal section here on scubaboard and for providing the link. I'll have to check out that section among the many others

And if you want to try out diving on the North Coast (Sonoma and Mendocino), check out www.northcoastdivers.org

Hope to see you out there sometime.

Awesome! Diving along the North Coast sounds fun/thrilling and is closer than Monterey for me and my dive buddies. After I get some more dives under my belt, I'd be very interested in diving the North Coast.

Hi beaverdivers!

Fisheater, I checked out the northcoastdivers website and saw that there was a divers games event Oct 5, 6. Unfortunetly I wasn't able to make it, but I did make it up to gerstle cove yesterday 10/12/13. It was amazing and I will definitely be diving there again when I can. During my second dive my dive partner and I found a seaquest weight pouch with weights in about 30ft of water. One of the weights had initials on it. If you know who it might belong to please let me know.
