Hi from OKI

[Icecold]

Hello from Okinawa,

Just got certified last month and got back from a trip to Boracay yesterday where I was able to dive a couple times, one to a wreck that was really cool, viz was down from the resent typhoon.

Plan on going as many times as possible as in a month I go back to the USA.

Welcome to Scuba Board and congratulations on getting certified last month.

Check out the regional forums of the board for the local area you will moving to in the states and hook up with the local dive group.

It's generally an active board but I think everyone is either sleeping, diving or hungover from their wild weekend.

Welcome to Scubaboard. It is a great site with lots of information and lot of good humor. I joined recently after lurking in the background, and am glad that I joined, so I could post questions, trip reports, etc.

Welcome!
I am new myself but I too was certified in Okinawa about 4 years ago when I was doing a summer internship for Camp Adventure living on Camp Kinser. My favorite memories diving are from Okinawa. Have you been to Maeda yet?

 

[Icecold]

Was at Maeda yesterday, going to the Keramas this Saturday....going to do the whale shark dive soon too, got to get in as much as possible in the short time I have left

I can't remember if I went to Keramas. The last dive I did was a boat dive out of a place near Kadena, I think it was Keramas but not sure. 2 tank dive, cost around 60 bucks I think. I wish I was certified early enough in my trip to dive with the whale sharks, can you get pics of that for us? Do you have any pics of Okinawa currently?

I'm in Okinawa now! THere is a Japan specific part of SB called Zen Divers that has some of us on it.

We also have GoatDawgDivers • Index page that is an Okinawan centric board as well. PM for more specifics.

As far as pictures, I do have some of them. A video too.
