I'm from Greenville, SC and would love a Carolina Dive Club. I grew up here but left for Florida in February to become an instructor and then took a job on St. Thomas in USVI. Now I'm back here (someone slap me) and I'd like to get into some diving when I get the time and money. It's nice to see so many others from Greenville, SC.

How many of you in Greenville did your Open Water of Advanced classes at Down Under Dive Center? I used to work there a few years ago and wonder if I might have run into any of you while I was there.

I didn't do my certification there, I did it in the Keys but I know the place. I think that dive shop has been in Greenville longer than any other. I've seen many of them come and go but that one is the only one that stays around. I wouldn't mind working for them but I'm a NAUI instructor, not PADI. Oh well.

Palo used to own the shop but he sold it to a guy named Steve. I worked with Steve back when he was just an Instructor at the shop. You should go talk to him about working there. I've seen many shops that have Instructors from more then one agency working there. Opens the shop up to a whole other group of people that might not otherwise come in because they aren't PADI.

Tell him Scott, from Florida, says Hi if you talk to him.

I might just try that. It never hurts to ask and I do want to start teaching now. I feel that it will be hard for me to start teaching by going independant so maybe I'll go up there and ask. Thanks!

Actually, Down Under isn't padi anymore. They swapped over to SSI a couple of years ago.

Steve has stepped up to IC now. He has a pretty good crew working with him and does a good job with his classes.

I didn't realize there was a quarry at Lake Norman. Open to the public? Commercial site? Any details would be great.

Thanks
