Great board

[Mark Wright]

Hello all,

New to the board but not to diving. Got certified in 1989 as a PADI OW diver but didn't do any diving until 1995 after moving to NC from NY. After a summer of diving the local quarry, scuba again went to the back burner and I started taking flying lessons.

After meeting the girlfriend in 2001 and who now is the wife LOL, she showed an interest in diving so we got her certified and I have not looked back since. The wife and I completed our PADI AOW on a trip to Cozumel in 2002. I continued on to go through the PADI Rescue and Master Diver programs and just this week, 9/20/05, finished the DiveMaster program YIPPIE if I don't say so myself LOL.

Before the end of this year I'll easly roll 200 logged dives, at 188 now, the wife and I are making our yearly trip to Cozumel the first week of November and I still have pleanty of time left for quarry dives.

Again this is a great board and lookforward to talking to you all in the near future.

I think you will find just about every flavor of diver in the SB mix. One thing to be certain, you have stumbled upon the holy grail of scuba web sites, and the members here are WAY into diving!!

I generally don't welcome members (and we get a LOT of new people daily) but noticed your intro was not well responded to. :10:

Take a look at the "forum" area, as there are a LOT of differnet area's within SB including local area's by region, and even such stuff as DIR (gasp) forums. This is a great place to hook up with divers. I dove with many people off this forum last time I was in FL, and what great people and divers they were!!

Have fun, welcome to SB, and congradulations on your DM status, and the fact that you have someone who you can dive with, AND share your life with!!
