Hello hello! Newbie diver here. Just saying Hi.
My backyard is the southern California coast. Got my Open Water in Guam in 2016. But, since I have been woefully unsuccessful at convincing my people from getting in the water with me, I have remained a Vacation diver since then. My skills have not improved with such spaced apart opportunities to fine tune them. My solo trips have gotten me a few introductory dives to a few different scuba paths (as well as Advanced by extension). Wreck dives were especially cool. Seeing the bow of an oil tanker loom out slowly from a haze of dark water was a big Oooh.. Ahhh... moment.
I've been lurking around here trying learn as much as I can about slowly starting to own my own gear. I'm under the impression that this will encourage me to dive the cold waters down here in San Diego more often.
