New in Cali

Hey all, been diving for 7 years, and just found the board tonight. I've completed Naui OW, YMCA advanced and rescue, and Padi Advanced. (BTW, as far as the rivalries between them, I think it all goes to the instructor.)

I'm also an EMT-1, and would love to take the DMT class. Anyone have experience with it?

Thanks!
Neal

PS-leaving for Palau in about a week!!

Neal,

Welcome to the board -- I'm from Santa Clara myself, and go diving down in Carmel about every weekend.

You may also want to check out the following bay area diving listserves:

Good to see some more Bay Area folks on board!

but WELCOME anyway! Palau.....lucky you! We will anxiously await your trip report. I haven't been there so you'll have to make it a very descriptive one! Have a great time!

I'll be leaving for Roatan in July....so I don't feel too too deprived of blue water....I am so excited. Will be diving wkends locally until then.

Glad you found the board.....it is very informative and entertaining.

We are falling behind the Texans; good to see another of us on the board!

Do you ever dive Jade Cove? I keep trying to, but I get there when the big waves make it into a giant rock tumbler.
