Hello from CA!

[JodiBB]

Hello everyone! This is my first time to the board. I am currently going through my PADI OW certifcation and finished the classroom portion on Monday and finished two pool dives (1 shallow, 1 deep). I'm having a what-seems-like a common problem, which I'll post in the Basic Dive section to get more feedback...

We go to Jamaica all the time, which is why I took up this sport...I love snorkeling, but always find myself diving under the water to take the good pictures, so we began to look into SCUBA...I look forward to talking with everyone!!

Hi JodiBB,
Welcome to SB from a fellow Golden Stater. Did my PADI OW last year and my AOW this year. Love this new sport, you will too.

Welcome JodiBB,

You might want to update your profile a tad to a be little more specific. California is a long state and NoCAL diving is diffrent from SoCAL diving. Dont forget to visit the appropriate sub forum North America, Unites States, California Kelp Divers, SoCal or NoCal.
