Florida Skindiver

[wesleylanier]

I am new to these forums! I'm a Florida native who grew up skindiving lakes, rivers and the place I use to love to go the most "Boca Grande". I have not yet fulfilled my dream of becoming a true "diver". I am now in living in Lynchburg Virginia as far from the oceans I love as I have ever lived. I'm facing my 47th birthday this coming November and it still seems I'm as far from becoming a diver as I have ever been. I will be hoping to learn as much as I possibly can about scuba from your posts. I also have another passion I pray God will allow me to experience one day which I have studied a bit over the years, sharks and selatians! Anyone who may have the desire and time to share their expiences with this ol' Florida gator hunter can reach me via wesleylanier@scubadiving.com Thank you and God bless!

I don't know yet how to navigate through these "threads" as of yet. I had a "pop up" saying there was a response to my posting from a lady named Jenny, yet when I clicked "ok" to view it I apparently lost it. Sorry!

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

I'm assuming from your post that being a "true" diver means being certified in SCUBA. Hopefully, the information here will motivate you to taking that step to getting certified.

Enjoy!

No worries, just go under Quick Links and scroll down to Private Messages. This should take you right where you need to be. Whenever I get a pm, I hit ok to the first box, and cancel to the second one, my messages always come right up.

Hope this works for you, if not, let us know...

By The Way....Welcome to the board

HEY! Wow.. looks like another FL native here.. makes 3 or 4 four of us now! Welcome aboard, and rather than the email bits, why not post. I've actually got 4 dives in Boca Grande pass now and being a Ft Myers native, we may have even skin dived the same lakes around here.

Whats holding you back from getting certified?
