Hi all,
Just found out about this site today while attending the Ocean Festival 2004 here in bee-yoo-tee-ful Ft. Lauderdale, FL. A guy who was walking in ahead of me was kind enough to give me an extra ticket he had (and if he happens to read this, I thought you were cute!) and when I asked him where he got it, he had a friend who was associated with ScubaBoard.com who gave them to him. I mentioned I wasn't a diver yet but looking to take lessons and he recommended I check out the site. So here I am.
I'll probably wind up taking my initial cert lessons up in Orlando, where my friend Kim who is interested in getting certified but sort of timid to do it alone. Her husband is already certified but she's been scared to "take the plunge". I actually took lessons back in college but was too busy working 2 jobs and going to school to finish. A bunch of us went on a cruise last year and my friend's husband and another friend went diving in Grand Cayman and I was just drooling over their pictures, so... I decided it was time to go back and get my cert after all this time. Funny how my friend Kim was hoping I'd forget about wanting to take lessons!
So greetings to all and if anyone has any recommendations about training and dives in the Ft. Lauderdale area, I'd love to hear them. And if you are a Jimmy Buffett fan, I'd love to hear from fellow PHans as well!
Have a great day!
Barbara
