Hi all,
a little intro about myself.
my name is detlev and I'm german, I live in florida since 1987 and everybody calls me david (since nobody could remember my real name) even my mom calls me david today.
I got my ow certification in 87 and went diving with some crazy friends.
having a pilots license and flying aerobatics I was always very concerned about safety and decided that at least one of us should know what to do in an emergency.
I went up to rescue diver and later even decided to get my dive master certification.
that was back in 94.
since then I dove every wrack and all parts of the reefs from the keys to palm beach.
I stopped logging dives and lost my logbook in a move and never really bothered to start logging again, but I should be somewhere around 1500 dives.
due to my golfing obsession and a million other hobbies, diving has taken a backseat over the past 5 years or so.
I then went a few times in 02 and 03 again and when I started flying remote controlled helis I spend every free min that I didn't play golf, flying helis.
in jan. of 05 I started my first salt water aquarium and guess what, it got me back into diving again.
I'm not much of a poster, but I love to read a lot and I will check this board allot for valuable information that seems to be plenty.
Thanks for having such a great forum
