Steve,
WELCOME to ScubaBoard!
Never too late to dive!!
You shouldn't have difficulty finding dive buddies down there (Where exactly?), seems that the states with coastline are particularly well represented here.
If you'll check around the side, you'll see that there is a forum for almost anything, so you can get most any dive question answered, and many non-dive related as well.

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction:
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom

Congrats, it's never too late, and it's fun making up for lost time.
However, you'll soon learn that you never have "all" of your equipment!

Be sure to check out our New2Scuba forum.

Completing your Profile with location will help in future diving discussions. You can use the Quick Links menu above for this. Sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?

PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

I saw that you found our SoCal section of the California Kelp Divers forum. You should consider coming to La Jolla for our dive get together and BBQ. It will be a great opportunity to meet other divers from ScubaBoard in SoCal. There will be plenty of buddies to choose from!

Don't forget to fill out your profile and dive info, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, once we know where you are geographically from your profile, you may find that you'll have a whole bunch of new dive buddies to choose from locally.

Dive safe!

Christian

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or repsond to in this forum.
