New to diving - Kentucky girl

[katchooklc]

Hello All,
I am new to diving. Last December, I was vacationing in Cozumel and took the discover diving course....needless to say, it was incredible. I did a shore dive as well as two boat dives. Our instructor Adrian at Dive Palancar (Occidental Grande) was the best. I am taking my open water course in a couple of weeks. I stumbled onto this board in my search for information. So I wanted to say hello from Kentucky.

Welcome to the board, I just started myself, and the people are great here. I'm also in Kentucky what an interesting thing. Two people from the same place signing up about the same time... I live in Richmond which is just south of Lexington as you probably know. I assume your going to New Horizons Dive Shop. That's were I'm going to be signing up for my OW here in a couple of days.. We might be in the same class.
Feel Free to message me if you wish.

Again Welcome to the board

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

Sounds like you're hooked! This is a great place to spend your surface interval learning new things and looking at other things from a different perspective.

Dive safe!

Well, now all you have to do is finish that cert course and find your way down to somewhere warm, like NC or South FL (I live between the two places - long story) and you'll have an instant dive buddy.

Good luck on your course. The New Divers forum has some great info, as well as lots of stories from divers going through training. If you get a moment, you might want to post some reports there describing your experiences. They're always interesting to read.

Best wishes and safe ascents,
Grier

Hello All,
I am new to diving....needless to say,... incredible. ... So I wanted to say hello from Kentucky.

WELL YAH!!
WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
And welcome to the best addiction I can imamgine.
Enjoy your OW course.

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction:
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.
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

Hello Kentucky.

I am new also. My wife and I just recently got certified here in Dallas. I am planning a 40th bday trip for her to Cozumel and we are staying at the Grande Xcaret. We stayed there right when it opened a couple of years ago and loved it. Is that the place you are talking about?

Dive Palancar, is that the Xcaret Park?
