This week I have been looking back over my scuba journey this past year. I was certified in June. Since I began the process of learning to dive—I have only just begun to learn even after a few months of diving, I have come to the understanding that Scuba Board has been a large part of my diving education. Certain board members in particular has stood out to me by their posts and sometimes reached out to a struggling diver like myself.
So herein lies my question, who on scuba board, either through their posts in general or their posts in specific response to your questions have made a difference to you.
Here are my top four. There are many that I admire, and that have been helpful. There these are the top four that have impacted me the most personally:
TsandM—she is very knowledgeable and smart, but never comes off as a know it all. She does her best to break it down so that a simple person like myself can understand. With the many questions I have asked on the board and in PM’s she has always taken time to give a thoughtful and in depth answer. She examined the details a dive that went very wrong for me and helped me work though it and understand what happened so I could learn from it. I never feel her answers are off the cuff.
TheRedHead—she doesn’t hold back with her posts. They are too the point, full of great info and are very helpful. She hasn’t posted in a few months. I hope all is well with her. I enjoy her some times feisty posts.
PerroneFord. He has spent countless hours explaining gear, answering diving questions, and pointing me to many web sites with very informative articles and movie clips. I consider him my dive mentor even though we have never been in the water together and have not met in person.
Jocasseegirl I first met her on this site and then one day as a newbie at the waters edge. Having a great dive buddy like her next to me in the water has helped me to attempt to put into practice all the head knowledge that I have gained. She has become a great friend in and out of the water. I have nick named her my “FAIRY DIVE MOTHER” and a great FDM she is.
So thank you and Merry Christmas Scuba Board for giving me the presents of these wonderful people into my life who have helped me to be a better diver.
So who has made a difference for you and how have they helped you in your diving life?
