How are you guys?

I thought I better say HELLO!

I am from Germany and moved to Orlando one year ago. I am 24 and I go to college here. I got certified about 4 weeks ago. What else, hmm? :06: I had a couple of dives so far, but I am already addicted.

I want to go to Blue Spring sometime next week. Does anybody wanna join?

I am also looking for a dive buddy, who wants to check out some wrecks or reefs!

You mentioned you go to college in Orlando, if you go to UCF, we have a big dive club. We usually go to the keys, west palm, and some springs.

Welcome to the neighbourhood! You'll get in the swing of things here, just put your name down when a trip comes up in trips and happenings or start your own thread on a trip to get to meet/know people.

Is Ginnie Springs more than a one tank dive? Looking for a place to dive during Thanksgiving trip. Have two dive buddies, need a good place.

Ginnie Springs has a little baisin with a cavern called the ballroom(the only cavern you can take a light with in that park). I really enjoyed it.
Then there are two other springs which are better if you are a cavern or cave diver.
If you do all three springs you could use three tanks.

I would not recommend going there if you are not into cave or cavern. I was OW certified that time and I was a little bit dissapointed.

I heard Blue Grotto should be really good, if you are OW. You can check it out online
