Hi Guys,
Well Im a first-post-virgin and very new to diving, thought Id pop in and say hello
I got the details for this site from some friends from another of my favourite hobbies for my sins I ride a motorbike (a Honda VFR800 my pride and joy!), anyway some of the guys of the UK VFR Owners Club who are also divers gave me a number of sites to check out
Ive come to diving fairly late in life (Im just turned 40) and wanted to dive since I can remember however, being a family man theres always been something or someone else where the moneys always been spent. I got divorced a few years back and bought a motorbike and, after taking a great holiday in Cyprus last year, I decided it was time to take the plunge (if youll pardon the pun!!)..
So theres me, on holiday with three other guys in Cyprus Id already told them that I wanted to do AT LEAST one dive while we were on holiday so I go to Lucky Divers at Ayia Napa beach and took a test-dive and, well I was bitten! The next thing I know Ive got my credit card in hand and have bought a shorty-wet suit (tailor made!) a set of fins and some goggles and have paid for a PADI course. Passed the course a few days later despite my own attempts to screw up by partying to 4.00am every night then having to get up at 7 for breakfast and do the homework; do the diving was tiring in such circumstances and I spent most afternoons asleep on the beach, my friends turning me every 30 mins or so - so that I wouldnt burn!
Hoping to do a lot more diving in the future and planning a trip to The Red Sea at some point and hope to take my two teenage kids to the US next and dive off the Gulf of Mexico Ive also learned to ski in the last 12 months but much more prefer diving !!
Anyway hopefully make some friends on here as I go along nice to (virtually) meet you all
