Pennsylvania Diver

[Fireman1396]

New here, and new diver (40 dives currently). From Northeast Pennsylvania. Been diving every other weekend since my cert. Dove a bit in Bermuda a few months ago. Volunteer firefighter, so ultimate goal for now is ERDI. Been reading around the forums for awhile and really enjoying it here so far.

Welcome!
Always glad to meet a fellow land locked diver.
I'm from central PA. There are a few local dive spots around here if you don't mind lakes & quarry.

Whereabouts in NE PA?
I think you will find local diving quite different than Bermuda. Does your local FD have a dive team?

 

[Fireman1396]

Poconos, Scranton, Stroudsburg area.
Yea local is MUCH different than Bermuda lol. Though my cert dives were done in PA, so we are talking like 40F water temps that day lol.
Local FD does not have a dive team as of YET. I'm the one of the few people working on starting us one.

Welcome to Scubaboard from nyc. Spent a lot of time in your area during my youth since I lived in NJ then. Always nice to see fellow East Coast divers on here.

Years ago I dove in the Youghiogheny river/ reservoir at Ohiopyle. I remember that my partner and I were at about 90 feet down and we couldn't see our hands in front of us. The current was also very strong. Not a fun dive but a challenging one. Anyone been there?
