[alexasigno]

Hi my names Alex, im from the UK, but am travelling around OZ at the moment.

I am only a newbie to diving and have just dived the HMS Swan which was fantastic, and have only done 14 dives. And was hoping to cage dive with rodney fox this week, but have just been told they dont have any excursions until january. :-(

Only just found the site, so your bound to hear more from me

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

So, I guess you're on a "walkabout" in Oz. Sounds like fun!

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.

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
How long are you going to be in in OZ? Will you be able to make your cage dive in January, or do you return to the UK before then?
Don't forget the site when you get back there, because as you have likely learned already, many potential dive buddies from the UK are members.

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction: I really do have to work on modifying this note!!!
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.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
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

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll simply click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. My favorite is at the bottom: Singles Dive Club. Be sure to check our New2Scuba forum!

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and seperately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links above to reach those easily. 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."

Hi Alex
Welcome to scubaboard, if you are coming across the ditch to NZ be sure to have at least a day diving Poor Knights - it is fantastic.

Hi Alex... welcome!

 

[alexasigno]

Hi all, and thanks for your greetings

Yeah i will be in Sydney over christmas so i will just have to get a cheap flight to adelaide or port lincoln in jan. Im just off to see Andrew Fox at the shark museum today actually... fingers crossed he said he can book me down as a short notice diver to fill up the boat. So is a lot cheaper. Apparantly there is a big possibility i can get my trip a lot cheaper, as this time of year they have to swap over people all the time because of TV and Film groups apparantly
