My real name is Pia. I'm 42 and 5'9" (175cm). Blue eyes and blond to gray hair. I have my 10 years diving jubilee in a couble of days and is currently finnishing up my AI course.

In the SI I'm a development engineer making vitamin powders ect. I live together with my SO (not a diver) and have no kids or pets.

If I had the time I would also be sailing and skiing, but...

And Diver Kat, your daughter should be within 20 miles of where I'm sitting at the moment How come she's studing here?

 

[Conor]

My name is Conor (but I guess you knew that), I am 31, grew up in Derry, Northern Ireland and now live in Cambridge in the UK by way of Cork (Eire), London, the Isle of Man and Birmingham. I am single with a beautiful 18 month old daughter (and am lucky enough to consider her mother to be one of my best friends).

Diving, I'm currently a warm water Rescue Diver looking to dive more in the UK.

Career-wise, I was a chemist but now I look after database development for a small scientific software company focused on Pharma and Biotech.

Besides, my daughter, diving and work my obsessions include motorcycling (if its red and italian) and I have to confess.....golf (occasionally). Oh and I'm open to any invitation to go dive or talk nonsense and drink beer...so if anyone finds themselves in Cambridge feel free to PM.

Excellent thread (although its in the Womens View bit so we men feel like tresspassers )

Conor, never feel like a tresspasser. Heck the men have been hitting this area alot lately. Do you ever get out and watch any speedway? I spent alot of time at the tracks in England growing up since my father and brother both raced professional speedway. Love motorcycles. Miss the smell of methanal so bad.

Laurel - you very welcome. Most of the time we just see people through a screen. I figured if we put some background to everyone then it would give us a closer bond if you will with our fellow divers. After all, most of us are becoming good friends even if it is just through this board.

*Does anyone know where I could get a piece of bolistic fabric? I made a boo boo on my BC and need to repair it. I am having a heck of a time finding it in my area.

Thank you.

 

[bandit_TX]

My name is Ross. I'm 48 and I've been diving for 12 years best I can remember. I carry a PADI instructor card, but I don't teach much anymore. I'm divorced (so long ago it doesn't count) and I have a great 16 year old daughter. I certified her at 12. I started UW photography early this year and I'm hooked.

I'm a systems engineer for a defense contractor to pay the diving bills. My other main interest is woodworking. I live with a setter dog, a siamese cat, and 12,000 honey bees. Thanks for the community spirit here.

Perhaps this should now be moved to the intros & greets forum, since it's not feminine anymore?
