Hi all. New diver here, living in Allen (just a bit north of Dallas). I am pretty new and still developing my skills. I have my Open water cert and dive at Scuba Ranch. I am just recently retired so I have been obsessing a “bit” about my new hobby!
6 hours "left" of you. If you want to dive out this way, DM me and I'll make sure you have someone to dive with.

Congrats on the retirement!

Congratulations on retiring. I retired in ‘20 and understand about obsessing. We have free time now.
I started diving in the early ‘70s but got bored with lake/mud diving in the ‘80s and stopped until 6-7 years ago. Took a refresher class.
I have only been in Scuba Ranch for an AOW class in ‘18. I would like to dive it just for fun. My brother isn’t able to dive with me because of health.
We should meet during the week sometime when there are no classes there.
I am over by Saginaw north of Fort Worth so I don’t get over there much.

I believe they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday’s are nice though.

If I were you guys, I would wait a couple of months though.
