New member - Miami

[revolving]

Hello - Just wanted to say hi as a new diver and member of the board. My wife and I are in the middle of AOW and I'm already obsessing with all the gear I need to buy. Then we're off to Bonaire over Christmas hopefully for more beautiful diving. I've already spent hours on this site reading various reviews, what a gem of a place .

I’ve done nothing of the such. Well, other than researching for on hours on end and walking away more unsure of myself. But I’ve got regulator and computers coming at least. This site has too much useful information. How that’s possible I’m not sure yet

Minor setback, managed to get a perforated eardrum as part of AOW dive yesterday. Negligence on my part (equalizing too forcefully, maybe) and maybe a lingering issue from a few months back. No real point in posting this other than reminder for myself of the basics taught during OW. Thanks for listening .

Right. It doesn't have to be that expensive to dive, especially shore diving.
