Woo! diving is fun...

[phishphood]

but tiring. So I guess this is my introduction post. I got cert'd beginning of July with my girlfriend, but I think she's sorta meh about it and I'm a little too gung ho. After our PADI cert dives, I've been on 3 other ones, 1 in San Diego, 2 in Monterey. I've got to say, breathing underwater still "takes my breath away". Not really, but you guys know what I mean. I'm not sure if it will ever replace freediving for me since I'm a huge fan of the minimal equipment diving, but being down for 40 minutes at a time really rocks my world. I'm sure it'll get better eventually when I stop using gear that's older than I am (Regs, weights, fins are all early 80's). So just saying nice to 'meet' everyone and hope I don't ask too many annoying questions.

Welcome!

California diving is awesome but can be intimidating with the heavier suits, added weights, Pacific swells, etc for a newbie. Some day take the GF to the Phillipines if budget allows (no or minimal suit required) and she'll be hooked for life unless she just hates water and fish!
