Hi from Ohio!

[dolphinOSU]

Hi Everyone,
I'm so glad I found the website (through marinebio.org)! I am currently living in Ohio, but hope to make my move down south (Pensacola, FL) after the first of the year. I have always wanted to scuba, but never followed through with it. I'm moving to FL to study marine biology (2nd degree) and hopefully get scuba certified. I can't wait to start and get diving!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Heya Carrie!!!! Welcome to the Board!!!!! Let us know when you make that move down here, the Florida Conch divers are a very active group (you can check out our forum click here ) there's a pretty good chance of other SB divers being close by you.. Best of luck with your certification quest, keep us updated on how that works out for you..

Cheers,
Vickie

Welcome, as a long-transplanted Ohioian I can tell you, Florida is much better!

Go Buckeyes... or Bearcats... whichever

Well, if you're going to study Marine Biology, getting certified in SCUBA is a given!

Dive safe!
