New diver here from Central Europe

[davidmmatthews]

Hey everyone,

I just started my diving journey at 30, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Spent almost two weeks in Komodo National Park getting the first few certifications and wow, what a time that was.

Given not many people I know are into the activity, does anyone have recommendations for communities, clubs, social pages etc that would be a good fit? Would love to meet more enthusiasts around my age looking to go on trips and share experiences. Or if Scubaboard is the place to be, I also appreciate any pointers for how to use this forum! Currently living in Zurich, Switzerland (although I doubt the community there is particularly strong )

Thanks,
David

This is the place to be in.
Apart from this, I lurk in the DeeperBlue forum (not as active as this one) and a few facebook groups.

Welcome to Scubaboard. You're never too old to start.

Yeah I would say Facebook is a great place to search as well.

If you are also interested in diving in Switzerland you could checkout ts-s.ch. They do dives nearly every Wednesday and Saturday and I'm joining them quite often. I'm similar age as you and from Zug so not far
