Hi fishes,

I posted my original greeting on the main forum and was told it would be a good idea to post something here too seeings how I live in St. Augustine area. I do not have any friends that dive...they all made fun of me when I was getting certified. My wife and I got certified together but she seems to have lost interest in it.....we just had a baby in December so time is hard to set aside for diving. I have all of my own gear and the passion to dive till my last day on this earth....all I need is a few good friends to dive with and I'll be set. I like to dive not only to look but to find nice shells, artifacts, fossils, sharks teeth and so on. I also like to lobster and would like to get into spear fishing. I need to try and stay local because of low $$$....if anyone can help or give me good ideas of local places to dive, let me know. Thanks for reading.

Welcome to Scubaboard and congratulations on the new baby!

I am in the same position as you - I have no friends that dive. I have an 11 month old son also

Unfortunately I am on the other coast and south of you. You will find plenty of people in this part of the forum to dive with and who can offer suggestions for diving in your area

Thank you, we were actually thinking about coming down next weekend to try and find some sharks teeth. Any suggestions on nice places to stay down there?

Hey Mike,

Im up in Jacksonville and my wife is certified too. I am also looking to get started up in spearfishing. It could be a joint effort, lol.
