New diver seeking diving opportunities

[jrgarner]

Hi:
My name is Randy and I live in Louisiana. I'm new to the sport of diving and looking forward to many wonderful adventures. It seems that I've spent far too much of my life working and far too little living, I'm now at the point where I have the time and resources to pursue all my dreams.

I've traveled a great deal with my work, seen most of the US and a great deal of Europe. I've run marathons, competed in triathalons, climbed mountains but never spent any time under water.

As a kid I loved Seahunt and wanted to be Mike Nelson when I grew up. I'm now looking for individuals or groups to take dive trips with. Especially ones who don't mind a novice tagging along.

Hello Randy,

California Kelp Divers should give you several buddies.
To get in touch with your inner child, click here: The Sea Hunt Era.

BTW, welcome (Scub)aBoard! :happywave

It is true that many of us Californians love Louisiana cooking, but it's a far distance for us to be dive buddies.
Maybe The Deep Dixie Divers here

Hi Randy,
I too grew up watching Sea Hunt which sparked my interest in diving. Welcome to the board. I sent you a PM with some info on a dive opp with my dive club.

Welcome Randy. If you still travel for work (as I do), I think you'll find this board useful for finding a group or buddy to catch a dive with before you come home. Make sure to look through the Regional Travel and Dive Clubs Forums.
