Greetings from D.C.

[Vagabonding]

Hello all,

I've been browsing the forums for the past few days and figured it was time for me to join the board and introduce myself.

I'm from Washington, D.C. I've been an avid diver since I earned by o/w cert at 12 in the Caymans (best birthday gift my parents ever gave me, besides my first set of gear of course). I currently hold a divemaster's certification. I earned this last certification while I was backpacking around Australia. I "worked" (i.e. volunteered) on a Mike Ball boat out of Townsville and ProDive out of Cairns. Pretty much was the best few months of my life.

I recently joined Lambda Divers club in DC and finally convinced my good friend to get her open water certification. Always looking for new dive trips/opportunities/recommendations.

My next trip will be in January on the Sundancer II in Belize. I look forward to chatting with you all. Thanks!

Ben

HI Ben and welcome to SB!! I am headed to Australia in February and a friend of mine suggested I "worK" for Mike Ball's too for a bit. So it sounds like you recommend it??
