New to diving and new to ScubaBoard

Hi Everyone!

My name is Nicole, from Brisbane, Australia. I'm new to diving and new to this forum. I completed my PADI Open Water certification in August and Advanced OW just a week ago. I've logged 14 dives so far, and as the weather warms up, I hope to log a lot more over the coming months.

Cheers,
Nicole.

Hi Nicole,

Way to go and welcome to SB! Taking your AOW will help you gain confidence and become more familiar with your local diving. The regional travel sections on SB are really useful when planning trips.

Safe diving,

Arizona

hi everyone and thanks for making me feel so welcome. i'm loving all the different forums: been reading up on how to be a good buddy to what's a good entry-level underwater camera.

Arizona: yes, taking my AOW really helped me with my confidence!

thanks!

Nicole,

Glad to hear that If you find your way to Thailand PM. I take fun divers out and run a few courses part time. With your AOW cert you can take advantage of some of the wrecks that average in the 26-28m range. Your profile indicates you are a scientist. The work being done with Project Aware is very interesting and will allow you to explore a new reason to dive. This may be something worth looking into locally.

Hi Nicole,
I am not new to diving but very new to this site. It is good to see there are plenty of Aussies here. Welcome to the world of diving, you are in danger of becoming addicted like the rest of us, although I fear it may be already too late.
This is a good example, obviously I should be working, however as I am easily distracted I am in here reading forums.
which shop you dive with in Bris?
