Well, as the title says, I am new to your board. I am 17 years old and have been diving for 2 years. I have been skin diving(snorkelling) all my life. I spent a fair bit of time diving in Whiteshell Provincial Park Manitoba in West Hawk Lake with a neighbour. here is a site on the lake.

Last summer I decided to get trained officiallythrough a local dive shop called ocean sports.

I took my Open water certification here in edmonton with my dad and did the open water dives in the beautiful mountain lakes of jasper. I have dove in Lake Edith, Lake Annette, and patricia lake up there. Quite high altitudes make for unique dive chart situations. I went for 3 dives 1 1/2 years ago while in hawaii. this year I am heading back to hawaii in february with my family to do more diving(8 dives at least), and will be doing more diving over the summer in Jasper and Whiteshell Provincial Park. In mid July I am taking my Advanced diving with deep diver specialty in jasper, and hopefully(bank account allowing) I will take a rescue diver course in August. Who knows, maybe a trip to the west coast.
Outside of diving I am a student. I am taking pre-vetrinary courses. I am active in the equine field and am a competitive swimmer and waterpolo player.
that pretty much sums me up. Will post some pics in a while. I am looking forward to getting back to hawaii and swimming once again with the fishes and honu's. At last there I wont have to wear 9mm wet suits, hoods, mitts, boots, etc just to get in the water!
