Well, I thought I'd introduce myself to the boards, since you'll probably be seeing alot of me around here.
My name is T.J., 31 years old, and if you can't figure out what I do for a living...try harder!
Anyways, I finally found a buddy to get into this sport with, and who knew that it would be someone so close...my mother! At 50 something, she's just as excited as I am. My main interest in Scuba comes from my obsession with coral and reef tanks. I currently have a 125gal reef system, and will be upgrading to over 330gals next spring. When you get into reef tanks, they always warn that you will want a bigger tank...well, I don't think I can go any larger than the ocean!
We will be doing our classroom/confined water diving at home the second week of January, and finishing with our open water dives in Jamaica the second week of February.
I think that covers the basics. After Christmas (when we'll be getting gift certs for the dive shop), I plan on buying a majority of my equipment. I know there are several different thoughts on this, but I would feel more comfortable 1) learing on my own equip 2)not having to deal with rental equip 3)and becoming familiar with my equip.
I look forward to chatting with all of you! Best regards!
