Hello, new diver here

[outamyway]

Hi,

I'm Jeff, my wife, 16 year old son and I recently became certified divers. We took our instruction at Paradise Dive in Louisville, Ky. We certified at Falling Rock Quarry in Lagrange, Ky. My son and I did anyway, my wife will complete hers in a few weeks, I will be joining her for those dives as well to gain more experience before we go to Bahamas this september. We'll be at Atlantis, so it should be quite fun.

Since I don't seem to know of any inexpensive hobbies/pursuits (I am a photographer and european car enthusiast as well) my wife has made me swear that I won't start buying equipment untill I have 25 dives. (also a factor in my joining her for her cert dives...)

I'm quite familiar with online forums and etiquette, I try not to make too many spelling/grammar mistakes. I am a newb though, so go easy on me for a while.

Let me be the first to welcome you. This site is full of good info on just about anything you can think of.

Of course masks, boots, fins, wetsuits, and gloves are technically not equipment.

Alway a pleasure to see new folks out to entertain the fish.

Welcome to the board! There are a lot of active divers that hang out at La Grange, you'll find them in the Kentucky Piranha Patrol section of the board. A weekend trip could take you to Gilboa Quarry near Findlay, OH. Lots of cool things to see there!

Welcome to the sport!
