HI All,
My name is Jo Anne and, obviously, Im brand new to this site. I have been snorkeling for years and am now determined to get my c-card! I've really enjoyed looking over everyone's posts and am hoping to get to know all of you.

Jo Anne,
It's great that you've found ScubaBoard so early! Take some time to search the forums for the discussions about finding an instructor since most would agree that the instructor is more important that his or her agency. You may not have a great deal of choice in Minnesota, but you'll at least understand your options better.

Good Luck,

-Rob

You'll do well in your scuba course, because, if you are comfortable in the water, and really like snorkelling, you'll find that scuba is just an extension of the fun!

As the jet jocky above said, your experience with snorkeling will help a lot in starting scuba, as wearing a mask and breathing thru a mouthpiece can be challenging to some at first. I see you even wear the snorkel on the correct side, too. I had to move mine when I started. :lol2:
