newbie says hi

[diverwannabe]

Hi,

I know a diver and through her tales have experienced the wonders of another world. I've been watching some of the threads on this board and because you can't see the pix if you're not registered I figured I'd better do that. I don't think I'll ever go below the surface. I'm still trying to discover the world at ground level. But what really made me sign up are some of the signatures of the board participants and moderators. There's truly depth of thought and being.

. I don't think I'll ever go below the surface. I'm still trying to discover the world at ground level.

There is only one reason why anyone would want to stay up here at 1 atmosphere.That is because they never bothered to take a look at the rest of the world and the earth surface is covered by 72% of water so go have a look some time and tell us what you think.
Welcome to the board if you have any questions just ask

Hi diverwannabe and welcome! Don't live it through others, go for it.

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. At the bottom, be sure to notice the Local & Singles Dive Club forums.

Have you tried snorkeling? It's a great gateway, and the skills you learn will be valuable if you take up Scuba. And if you don't, you're still not walking the beach - which is like going to the circus and looking at the tent. (Dave Berry)

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and separately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links in the bar above for such changes. And sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?

PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

Welcome there diverwannabe,

I'm not trying to pressure you into doing anything, but if you ever went below the surface, you will understand why the rest of us wished we had gills. We only spend out time on land because we have to.

I'm sure you will catch the bug from being on the board, and one day you will be telling others why they should start diving. You'll see. I will be waiting for the "YOU WERE RIGHT" comment someday.!.!.!.

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
Sometimes you have to get beneath something to truly understand it. Maybe joining us in the underneath world will help you discover the surface world, and you will have more than just scratched the surface.
Glad you found us, now stay and participate.

STOCK MESSAGE
Hmm. Maybe.
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
Again, Welcome to the greatest addiction!
It's so easy to forget the things that we love, but here at ScubaBoard, we're all doing our dead level best to maintain the highest level of SCUBA ADDICTION possible.
Please stay with us, interact, and keep your need to get wet alive!
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved to where it can receive better attention.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
[size=+3]Merry Christmas![/size]

Hey all:

dvrliz1, shuey2, Matt The Wonder Boy, Scott Reimer, DandyDon, Murphyivers286, El Orans, Nomaster -

You have made me feel truly welcome to this board. I thank you. What a wonderful community you are. I shall remain on the periphery, being the diver wannabe I am, but appreciate your encouragement to go below. I shall have to stay on the surface for now, but will soak up your experiences of a different world. It's neat to see the kind of support you give to each other and to the unknowns. Awesome. Thank you!!

A very nice tribute to Christopher Reeve. Yep, I think that dream stuff does work!
