Good Evening All,
I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself to everyone. I am new to the forum as well as new to diving, although I have been around diving most of my life. I fell in love with diving at a young age while watching JAWS. Although this movie scared many people out of the water it made me want to be in the water diving like Hooper. Unfortunately I was only five at the time and too young to dive.
Fast forward five years and I am sitting in our living room and a show comes and my dad immediately starts talking about the magazine articles surrounding this shipwreck we are watching a show about. That ship wreck was the Atocha, well this just increases my want to be diving more. We even went to the dive shop and talked with them about me diving and they suggested me waiting a few years due to my age. Well unfortunately for me when I was of age and been cleared by my doctor we didn't have the money for me to go diving.
Well once I got out on my own it took me some time, but I finally put away the money and my wife and I took our open water class. We have completed the classroom and pool work but now have to complete our open water portion.
I look forward in participating on the forum and interacting with everyone!
Thanks
Matt
