Newbies

[cobaltbabe]

Just wanted to know how many of us "newbies" there are in the OWFW and when each of your OW's are going to be done. As everyone knows I'm keen on this whole diving thing. Met alot of new friends and can't wait to meet more. And now the big question. For our grad when we get our OW cert. What do you want:

White, red, bubbly or beer.
Steak, burgers, chicken or veggie
Sit down or fall down

Best of luck to all my newby buds. Hope we all make it to the other side. The dark, cold wet side that is!!!!! ut:

Oh and that's right boys, she's posting again ut: ut: ut:

Not that anyone's counting. I passed the written exam yesterday after 5 class/pool sessions, and I do my checkout dives in Tobermory on May 23/24/25.

Congratulations.

What do you mean no one is counting. I am now. So what are your preferenced for the celebration dinner? We'll get some of these "old timers" to come out and show us some of the good spots to dive and get to know a bunch of new friends. BBQ. Let the count down commence.

Who you calling the "old timers"?

Not that I'm trying to say forget this idea (I think it's great)... why not we combine the 26th with a Welcome to the world of diving for you newbies?

I'm sure the gang up here around the Brockville area can find a TON of spots for newbies to enjoy!

 

[canuckdiver]

I'll second that motion DG!!

and I think I can come up with a few interesting spots for dives all summer!

now, about those suprise-turn-off-your-valve-out-of-air-drills!
:egrin:

I would never put the senior OFWF members down like that. Well Maybe CD but none of the others. LMAO. I just thought it would be fun to get the newbies together for a get to know you thing.

And watch what you wish for my friend. I know where you live!!!!

You got a point with CD... "just kidding".

Getting together with newbies is an excellent idea... but as you've seen how hard it is to get anyone together... just was offering to have an excuse for one heck of party for diving.

A general celebration of meeting new friends, some of whom just happen to be new divers.

(heck, if the t-shirt thing happens quick enough, maybe the "old timers" will grace the "newbies" with one.... just a thought)

I think I'm past the newbie stage, but my wife might still fall in there. Our 14YO had his first pool session yesterday eve. Instructor says he did really well. Comfortable in the water, had a little trouble mask clearing (who didn't the first time), but quickly caught on. His only problem is lack of body fat (got cold, to bring his shortly next class) and no hips/butt to hold his weight belt up (now he wants a weight integrated BC ). If there are no hitches or delays (missed classes) he might be able to do his OW May 31/June 1. If not then 2 wweks later June14/15.
