Hello, New Here

Hi Nor Cal Divers,

I'm new here on ScubaBoard, and while I'm *supposed* to post this over in the Introductions & Greets section, I felt it might get lost there....

The main reason I'm posting is because I'm looking for some new dive buddies. Need to expand the roster... my best friend and shore-diving buddy just moved to Ventura, drastically reducing availability .

I've been diving in Monterey/Carmel Bays for nearly 11 years, am a certified divemaster (but don't work as one anymore), and am a generally experienced, comfortable diver. I like to shore dive sites such as Monastery (but not on "sporty" days, thank you), Point Lobos, Butterfly House (see note re: Monastery), and the assortment in Monterey. Not a big Breakwater fan, but I can have fun almost anywhere . I use a drysuit, single tank, recently added (and much loved!) backplate/wing, and long fins (as in, freediving.) My fins are not intended to embarrass my dive buddy, I just truly love using them.

I have some friends that I boat dive with, but I am certainly interested in meeting other boaters as well as shore divers. Also wouldn't mind meeting up for a charter boat dive.

Contact me if interested, etc.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer and welcome to :sblogo:

plenty of dive get togethers are planned here on SB, there is one going on now for Point Lobos.

Welcome to the board

I rarely dive that far South, but there are tons of people that dive and can be found on Chuck's pages along with clubs etc. http://www.garlic.com/~triblet/ba_diving/

I've been diving with Jenn and she's a good diver.

Welcome to the Board! There are a lot of divers in your area who I am sure would be happy to dive with you. If you ever want to make it up North, we would be happy to dive with you as well.

Thanks for the nice compliment, Chuck, and thanks everyone else for the suggestions and offers! I truly appreciate it.
