Hi everyone,
This is my first post!
I just finished my OW certification - the signature on my temp card is still damp. Some diving friends are going to Cuba in 2 weeks and they had invited me along. I was unsure if I wanted to fall down that hole into scuba diving since it has a reputation for being kind of an expensive hobby... I'm sure you can understand.
But my friends kept hounding me and hounding me. And they found out that the Havana Marathon is during their trip (I'm a runner) so enticed me to Cuba that way. And after some more hounding, I figured I might as well get certified so I can dive with them and not spend the rest of the trip by myself while they are underwater!
Anyway, I am really glad that I decided to get certified. I've only been on 2 days of diving for my class so far, at Catalina Island, and I am already hooked. I can't wait to dive in Cuba. We will be diving out of Havana the whole time (unfortunately work dictated a short trip so we won't be moving around much). I was just wondering if anyone has any experience there or any advice on stuff to look out for or anything must-see.
Thanks in advance,
