Hey folks, I was recently certified in May, and on Monday I'm starting my advanced class, with a dive at Redondo Canyon. I've also been on a boat dive to Catalina, dove at the casino, and a beach dive at Corona Del Mar. I live in Upland, and I'm really looking forward to getting in a lot of dives ASAP, as soon as I can find some buddies. Even bought all the equipment. I think we'll be diving at Woods Cove next weekend as part of the advanced class.
Anyway, if anyone is looking for a VERY concientious though inexperienced buddy to dive the casino or Laguna or whatever, let me know. I'm really looking forward to diving El Matador beach up north, past Point Dume, one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. I think the sandeaters are going there in mid-August.
I'm a bit hestitant to just show up at some of these dives and hope someone will buddy up with me, but maybe that's what I have to do.
