Hi there,

Just completed my Padi Advance course and found this board. Found a wealth of information already. Would like to try diving in some warmer waters, it's heck freezing cold here!

Hello kalekainxx and welcome to Scubaboard! Congrats on your certification. I hope you find warm water soon!

Hi there,
Just completed my Padi Advance course and found this board. Found a wealth of information already. Would like to try diving in some warmer waters, it's heck freezing cold here!

Welcome to the board from Fredericton,
Don't worry about the cold water; once you get a drysuit, you'll find that diving in Canada is quite rewarding. For example, today, I did a wonderful wall dive at Deer Island, in the Bay of Fundy. Water was 46 F at 50 feet, but I was warm and cozy with a shell drysuit and a few layers of underwear.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. At the bottom, be sure to notice the Local & Singles Dive Club forums. Be sure to find your local dive club down there.

You have sights in your waters I have not yet seen, but looking forward to next year, maybe. My next warm water trip with room is Cozumel in March, if you'd like to go.

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and separately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links for such changes. And sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?

PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

Hi there and welcome to ScubaBoard! I think that you are really going to enjoy it here! There are so many things to learn, and I think that we can learn some things from you too!

If you have any questions or problems, or you just want to chat, send me a PM, or e-mail me at kayla@scubaboard.com


Have fun, and safe diving!

Kayla! :dazzler1:

Welcome to the board and congratulations. Yeah, I sympathise!! For a few months of the year we have warm water but unlike our cousins down south, we have to endure the cold water for most of the year. I can't wait to sneak a weekend down in FL

 

[Rachelle]

Congratulations and welcome to the board!

Heya and Welcome to the board!!!! Congrats on your AOW certification.... WoooHooo :cheering:

Just remember, there's always Florida (it's a bit chilly here now too )

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
Ignore the people from Florida who always whine about how cold it is there in the Winter. . .SHEESE 25C, cold! I sometimes get the idea that they're trying to rub it in that the rest of us have to wear 7mm wets or a drysuit.
Nah! No ScubaBoard member would do that.
Check out the "PNW Orca Bait" forum to find all sorts of folks and events for your diving pleasure.

I have yet to get the inspiration I need to revise my stock message, but I have (some) faith {-It could happen!}. Maybe if I read over may last couple hundred welcoming messages. Hmm. Maybe.
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved to where it can receive better attention.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom
