an introduction.

[Zaffy]

Howdy,

I'm new to diving, just got my cert in september. In the last year my job has taken me around to several diving trade shows(Beneath the Sea in New Jersey, Our World Underwater in Chicago, ScubaShow in Longbeach and DEMA), and I had to get into it. So I'm an excited newbie.

Welcome to the pond and to Scuba Board!

You'll find a tremendous amount of information here so have a look around and ask questions. There are lots of separate areas for almost any question type so you should be able to get great input on your queries!

Have a great time here and I look forward to seeing you around the board. If you need anything, just let one of us know!

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
Hope you enjoy the show, (Beatles tune intro).
Jump right in the fray, talk to folks, meet dive
buddies, find places to dive that you never would
believe anyone would go, and places you won't be
happy again until you visit.
I hope to see your posts all over as I wander about
aimlessly dribbling my words and sometimes just
enjoying others'.

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

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

You got to catch the fever from the people who are most excited about diving, since you went to the shows.

I see you are in SoCal. Be sure to check out the SoCal section of the California Kelp Divers forum for more about what ScubaBoard members are doing here in SoCal.

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 respond to in this forum.

Welcome from Lakewood/Long Beach CA. With all the great local diving, you should be able to dive often. http://www.sandeaters.org will help you get wet once a week or more if you like. Not a dive club, just a dive scheduling website.

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.

If you haven't already, 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."
