First post on any forum is the hardest so here's to breaking the ice.
I completed my OW in December after putting it off for far too many years and I'm well and truly hooked. Nitrox under the belt and some adventure dives lined up for this weekend and hanging out for a dive trip in Padang Bai in early February.
Since the first taste my wallet is hurting and I've discovered a whole new world of procrastination in the form of dive websites and forums.
I hail from sunny Perth, Western Australia and can't wait to explore more local and international dive sites!
Equality of opportunity or equality of outcome? One is consistent with a free people and the other requires a police state. Pick one. - Tobin George
Question for the day: Does God love me for some unexplained reason and blessed me with a wonderful wife - OR - Did God bless me with a wonderful wife and, therefore, has learned to love me for her sake?
NetDoc: Definitely getting the hover down pat during the open water. Establishing the buoyancy was not too bad (after a little practice) but maintaining the balance and avoiding rolling all over the place will definitely take a little more practice. I'm hoping that I can squeeze in a Peak Performance Buoyancy dive this weekend to help develop those skills.
TSandM: Fortunately my job takes me to some lovely places and one of the key drivers to getting my ass into gear and getting my qualifications was paddling around the fringes of Ningaloo up at Coral Bay and Exmouth with only a snorkel felt like a wasted opportunity. I also sent a colleague up in my absence and he came back with some amazing whale shark stories.
I'm a noobie also. My husband and I got our OW a couple of years ago. However, we don't have the type of dive opportunities you do! We lived in Bunbury for 2 years in the late 90's. We loved Australia. Perth is one of my favorite places.
