Open Invitation near Gainesville, FL

[robbanks78]

Hello all,

As you can all probably see I am very new to the sport of diving, but it is something that I have wanted to do for a very long time, but never got the chance until now. Anyway, I do not know too many people around here for diving, but I would like to go diving as many times as possible (mainly financial restrictions). I have dove Devil's Den and Manatee Springs (both catfish hotel and the main springs).

Just a little info on myself. I am a student at UF in computer science. I just recently got my OW and Nitrox certifications through NAUI. I have done all of my training through Water World. I eventually do want to get into the more technical side? (i.e. cave, etc...) but that is of course a ways off until I get more dives under my belt and become more proficient with my bouyancy, etc...

If anyone would like to go diving, please send me a PM or email me at robbanks78@gmail.com. I check both almost daily. Just as a fair warning, since I am new to diving I am a gas hog at the moment so in the beginning I may not be able to stay under for extended amounts of time.

Hope to hear for any of you. Take care.

Rob
