New Virginia (with some FL and SE Asia mixed in) Sidemount Diver

[LukeH]

Got directed here from my instructor's constant browsing of this forum.

Recently completed my Sidemount, Deep, ANDI CSU, and ANDI L2 Wreck courses. Now I'm just trying to continue my diving and ingrain at least some of these skills.

In the Philippines now, but soon will have to return back to Northern Virginia. I also spend at least a few weeks a year down in the Tampa/St Pete, FL area.

Hi Luke! If you are ever in the Riviera Maya or in S. Florida let us know!
Congratulations for all those courses! Way to go!

 

[LukeH]

Thanks! I wish I could spend more time here in the Philippines, it was really a good time learning and improving.

Lack of dive sites? Really?

Mill brook Quarry is awesome! It has the best visibility in a 25 mile radius. ;-)

 

[LukeH]

What I really meant to say is, "and the lack of it being in the tropics."

I'm definitely interested in finding more sites for a short weekend dive trips from now until Christmas. Day trips are even better!

Awesome might be a slight reach...

Tried to do Millbrook deep two weekends ago. We hit the 30 foot platform then went down the line to the plane in 5 mils and nearly ****! Too cold! Got to 57ft and 51F..

Rest of the dive was in 30 ft....

Ugh, I want 82F down to 80ft tyvm.
