Hello, from a fairly new diver...

[Fish_Whisperer]

Howdy, folks! I live in Tennessee, and got certified through MDEA, last spring. I've made fourteen dives, and my most recent dive trip was to Cozumel, where we got three days of diving before riding out Hurricane Wilma in the hotel Casa del Mar. What a ride!!

Anyway, just saying hello for now. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Thank you, Annasea! Glad to finally find someplace to cyber-dive, to tide me over 'til my next opportunity. (God, I'm hooked!) LOL

Welcome to the board! You have to come up to Ohio sometime and dive Gilboa Quarry, it's a great place to practice your skills and meet fellow board members The Kentucky Piranha Patrol here on the board is the closest regional group for you, great group of people!

Thanks, Ber. Actually, I'm a member of Celebration Scuba, and there are a bunch of quarries around southern middle TN and northern Alabama. Plus, it's only an 8-hour drive to Panama City Beach. There's another group here too, called Off The Map Scuba, but I haven't had the chance to dive with them yet. (Hopefully soon!) I want to diving so bad, I can hardly stand it. LOL:azvatar:

I'm making "moose antlers" with my hands while sticking my tongue out at you--how about a nice raspberry LOL!

8 hours, must be NICE!ity_part

LOL! It's very tiring, but well worth it. Also, there are lots of freshwater springs in the area. Matter of fact, Vortex Springs in Ponce de Leon is where I did my certification dives, and then did the rest of the open water stuff in the ocean, of course. I'd love to go back to Cozumel, but could do with a little more diving, and a little less of a 60-hour long hurricane.

Welcome to the board, its nice to see new divers popping up all the time. We have a small dive group called the lake lanier loonie birds here in north georgia. We try to make trips to the quaries in alabama from time to time, and we want to try some of the dive spots in TN sometime soon. You should try and meet up with us sometime, or maybe plan a trip up your way. You can check out our post in the deep dixie diver section under lake lanier loonie birds. Hope to dive with you soon.

That would be great, Kyle. I'm pressed for time today, but I'll definitely be checking it out.
