New to Forum

[plongere]

Ok don't bite. New to the forum. My wife and I got our SSI "C" cards in June and headed to French Polynesia in July. We had the minimum time when we got there. We went first to Moorea and interviewed a few shops and decided to go with Bathy's Club. They gave us a good check out dive and we had great diving with them. Stayed at the Club Bali Hai on Moorea - all the charm you could ask for. Went to Tahiti and dove with Aquatica Dive. Great facility and diving as well. Stayed at Le Merdian Hotel, nice place!

We bought our gear before we left. Got Scubapro 16/550 regs, Genesis computers, Apollo bio fins, Mares Synchro BC's. Wife got Parkway dive skin, I got Scubapro 3mm shorty.

Have 13 dives under our belts now. We are new but learning. Puget Sound (Washington USA) where we live is really different than the South Pacific. Hope to do Fiji, Belize or Caribbean next spring.

Enough?

Good to have you aboard and thanks for a very concise, to-the-point intro!

Sounds like you had a wonderful start to life as a scuba junkie... you're one of us now, :egrin: so make sure you keep posting, asking questions and enjoying yourself.

See you around.

too funny, and here I was going to say I do windows to get adopted - just doesn't match up to your skill lololol

Welcome to the games. I'm a wee bit envious of your travels. Do tell your tales. You'll have a grand time here. A warm welcome from north of the 49 - Ottawa

Welcome aboard! I must say when you decided to take up scuba you did it right. I think we are all jealous. I have as many dives as you and no one wants to hear my story of 11 of those in a texas lake with 10-15 foot vis and using rental gear

But you have found a new home here so kick back (or forwards if you want to go anywhere) and enjoy!

Hey-o Plongere;

Your not the only diver that just made the double digits. Me too. It just gets better.

Welcome to the board. Obviously, you don't need to adopt anyone to be a part of this crazy group. But if I come over to be your luggage boy; do I get my own hotel room? (grinning and winning)

Let us know how the diving is in the Sound.

 

[scubakat]

Welcome Jim! let me know if you need a personal dive planner to handle all of those niggling little details on your adventures! and I have a geographic advantage... I'm in your neighborhood already. So where have you been diving in the Sound so far? San Juan's? Hood Canal?
