Well, i guess it is time to say hi so .. "Hi" I have been creeping around on here for a while just reading random threads but figured now i could be a little more active here.
Completed my certification last sunday July 12th diving Lake Minnewanka in Banff Alberta. (lake at 5000' above sea level, bottom temp 11°C) and loved it. The thought was hey if I can do my dives here the Vacation Diving in Mexico should be a breeze. Only problem was I actually really enjoyed the cold water dive and can't wait to see more of the history below the surface of this lake. The 7mm wetsuit with a 7mm hooded vest certainly helped. On the upside not being afraid to dive locally should mean more bottom time to practice making the vacation dives more enjoyable.
I am pretty excited to finally be certified, the first time I told myself i should get certified was about 20 years ago. So i guess next step for me is to try and get to know some of the other local divers and hopefully find someone who is willing to buddy up with the new guy and help me practice and hone my new skills.
I guess that's it for now, happy to be here, and itching to get wet.
