    Hello from Los Angeles!

    Hi gang, I've just been introduced to the online forums this year and dove on in to a few cigar forums earlier this year as I've found I've actually enjoyed that new hobby as well as diving, which, of course, is so much more healthy for me.

    I'm a 35-year old SoCal (Southern California) native and was certified in San Pedro, CA out of Pacific Wilderness (actual beach dives were Newport Beach & Redondo Beach) after doing a resort course down in St. Lucia about 4 years ago. Seann Bogguess was my most excellent instructor over at PacWild.

    I've done several Catalina Island trips on the Psalty V and have 3 night dives under my belt and have basically done the requirements for the Advanced Cert; I just need to do the course.

    I'm at about dive number 55 or so and really enjoy it and finally have all my gear (thanks mrsreindeer!) and take advantage of diving whereever we travel (and we love to travel!).

    So far, I've dived (in order of occurence):

    -St. Lucia
    -Redondo Beach
    -Newport Beach
    -Palos Verdes
    -Catalina Island
    -Cozumel
    -Mykonos (Greece)
    -Kauai
    -British Virgin Islands
    -Hawaii (Big Island)
    -Belize

    Thanks for having me & I look forward to making a lot of new buddies!!
