    Looking for a buddy or group to do some diving.

    Ive been diving for 4 years but the last year or two i have been saving to get out my hand me down gear. I've finally managed to get my gear and i'm happy to say none of it is older than i am anymore. I'm looking for a few people or one person who knows of some good spots and how to get there. I have a truck so i have no problem helping with the on land transport, and i'm more than happy to help with gas for a boat. I'm still pretty new on account of not having gear i could depend on. But now I am ready to throw myself into this full force. any help, advice, pointers or luck would be helpful to me. I'm in St Pete near sawgrass lake park.

    Ed a few of us hit Spanish Rocks with regularity which is close to you.

    I dive it on occasion after work.

    This weekend I think a few of us are going to hit Paradise Springs.

    Welcome to the board. You live about 15 minutes from me. I am a rarely new diver but have been getting out as much as possible. I forsee SPanish Rocks in the near future w Todd and Reefwatcher. I think there is a dive in Venice Beach next weekend!

    Hiya Ed and welcome to SB.

    Can you make it here: Meet-N-Greet/Dinner, Friday, September 5th, Quaker Steak & Lube

    Also, don't be afraid to jump in on a dive you see posted. Everyone around here is pretty darn friendly.
