New to the board and diving

[plr0]

Hi, I'm new the board, I have been lurking for a week or so - but have seen so much great info that I had to join. Real happy to see a women's section, too.

I'm just finishing up my PADI classwork and pool dives for the OW course, here in the Philadelphia area. I'll be doing the OW dives to certify in BVI in March.

The trip to BVI really started it all. I found the trip - a week on a trimarin - it sounded great with or without the diving. They have PADI certified dive instructors on board and that gave me the push to take the plunge. I've wanted to learn to dive for years but haven't done anything about it - because I didn't have anyone here to do it with among other reasons. The trip gave me the incentive and realization that I don't need a local buddy.
