Hello everyone.
This is actually my second post, not first, but I just joined ScubaBoard last night. I did my OW course in May and have a little bit to do to finish the AOW course. I'm fortunate to have a friend who is an instructor who has encouraged me several times through the years to come with him on a trip and get certified... and I finally did. Just wish I hadn't waited so long.
I was spoiled, perhaps, by doing my OW class and first 20 or so dives in Bonaire. Now I'm looking forward to learning what it's like to dive in colder areas, fresh water, and so on.
I'm a biologist and a professor, and being able to see the underwater environment first-hand was a big reason I decided to learn to dive. But I've also got a long history in other outdoor activities such as climbing and caving, and in some ways diving complements those - a way to see places and have experiences in the natural world that many people don't get to enjoy.
Looking forward to it -
