Old New Diver

[SCUBA STEVE]

Hello Everybody,

Trying to get back into diving, I became certified when I was 12. Me and my Dad went through classes together. Not long after, my parents got a divorce and that was the end of that. Now I've sparked an interest in Dad again, just bought some new BC's, out grew my old one, and some regulators. Still have some other things to buy. Now at 23 yrs. old were going to try this again. Going soon to get recertified, need to freshen up. Seems like their is a lot of new technology out there now days kinda scary. Nitrox, rebreathers, sophisticated computers, very scary. I am new to the forum thing, but, this is the greatest tool for knowledge, it's great! There's a lot of logged dives in this forum, so I hope to gain some knowledge from that. Hope to be talking to all of you soon so take it easy for now. Eddie

You aren't an old diver.

Welcome back, however. Great idea on recertifying, you'll do fine. The gear is like everything else in life - it will rule you if you let it, otherwise it's just a tool. Less is more, which is another way of saying:

Have you checked out the dark side?​

Good way to scare the hell out of him, Steven.
Seriously, you're right on the money about recertifying. I did it after a 25 year layoff, and was just amazed at all the cool new toys.
Get trained, get wet, and enjoy!
