Hello all, I stumbled upon this message board just looking for some simple answers. I actually am not necessarily looking for scuba info, but hopefully some snorkeling info. I am taking a class for my bio major called coral reef ecology. We will be goin to belize for a full week and snorkel twice a day as part of the class so I am gonna try and learn some things before then. I have to get fins, snorkel, mask, wet suit so I am hoping I can get some ideas here. Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than to learn to dive, but being a college student, its hard to come up with the money

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
I'm sure you can find all the information
you want about snorkling.. I mean it's
folks underwater right?
If you want SCUBA, you'll eventually
get your certification, if you hang around
this board, I'd bet that will be sooner than later.

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

Hi and Welcome. You should check the Fins, Masks and Snorkels under The Equipment of Scuba Diving section a little bit farther down the page. One more thing, I'm surprised that there's not a dive certification class offered at your university. It's usually a regular semester long course. Check and see if thats so. That way you get credit for a class you take. Then its not a "waste" of money that you may not have right now for extracurricular activities It's a class mom and dad Have fun in Belize.

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

We actually have a new Freediving forum that you may find particularly helpful for snorkelling. If you really get into snorkelling, I bet you'll be getting certified pretty soon! Just buy used books and put the money you saved into a "dive certification" fund.

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!

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.
