New to the board and to Diving

[Red Earth]

Hello folks! After reading a bit this looks like a great board with very informative people.

I did an experimental dive 20 years ago in Jamaica but didn't take it any further due to the ole Italian disease of fundsalo and lack of maturity.

While in Mexico last month, my wife tried snorkeling and kindled a new desire.

We are scheduled for the first of August for class and the third and fourth for our open water class on Beaver Lake in Arkansas.

It looks like this hobby is going to hurt more than my photography addiction!

Don't think of it as a 'hobby'...It's, life styles of the 'not-so-rich and 'special people'.......

Hmmm? Photography addiction and now Diving..... May be a costly, but fun combination. Enjoy!!

Indeed. When I signed up for my Open Water class last December, one of the DM's said, "Before long, you'll be planning all your trips around diving." So true!
