Old Fart says hello to new adventures

[Dan Waddle]

Just wanted to say hello and even though I have only completed my first pool dive I am having a great time.

Wife and Grandaughter gave me scuba lessons for birthday. I'll have a hard time figuring out how to top that for them.

Good luck and you will find lots of people on the board who found scuba as part of their second childhood.

Hey, good job Dan.

As for your wife and granddaughter, take 'em rockclimbing on your next birthday.

You're never too old.

Dive safe.

Welcome to ScubaBoard!

The old become young again when it's dive time!

That is a great birthday gift! Does anybody else in the family dive? Either way, I get the feeling that there is a great story behind it all.

Don't forget to fill out your profile, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, when we can see where you are geographically, you'll start to get a whole bunch of dive buddies out of the deal.

Welcome, Dan!

Sounds like a great gift. I'm glad you found Scubaboard - it's a great resource, especially when you're learning.

Be sure to check out the New2Scuba and Basic Scuba Discussions forums - they're packed with useful tidbits for the beginning diver.

Good luck with your course,
Grier
