I've been lurking here for a few months now, and will be starting OW next month. My very good friend who's an excellent diver got me into scuba, and I can't wait to try it. Soon I won't have to live vicariously through him anymore! I mostly want to dive in warm water but I know NE has a lot of good spots as well. I'm just really excited to get into it, and a little nervous as well. There's been lots of good information here. Glad to be a part of it!
