Hi, my name is Tanya.

My husband and I are new to diving, having finished our PADI OW cert this June in Monterey, CA.

My "resume" and planned trips:

• In July, we joined some good friends for a dive vacation in Grand Cayman (east end).
• And in August, I did a couple of small dives during a vacation there with a non-diving friend.
• In December, we'll visit Curacao and try to expand our experiences a bit.

Have really appreciated the interactions and comments on the boards - very helpful advice!

Welcome to Scubaboard

Now when are you planning the local dives? You may not have seen them yet, but we have reefs here that rival anything in the world.

Hello, there! The diving here is awesome. 3 years after getting my cert here, I'm STILL finding new places to dive. Enjoy it

@Peter_C I was certified locally, but to be honest the visibility was horrible during those dives. Will try again over the upcoming holiday weekend and hope for a better experience.
