Howdy,
I just moved to the Golden Isles area in Georgia and am looking to do some recreational dives and move up the scuba ladder.
I know that most people around here, so I've been told, go down to some springs in Florida (I can't recall the exact name). I'm on Saint Simons Island and am REALLY itching to do some dives, but am having trouble finding groups. I don't know a lot of people yet, and the ones I've met aren't into diving.
I have my Advanced Open Water and only about 14 dives under my (weight) belt. Sorry, I'm a dork.
For classes, next one offered is Nitrox at Diver's Den September 26, and I want to take the Emergency Responder one (I know these are NOT in the water).
There's also Island Dive Center, but it has proven difficult to get in touch with anyone there that knows what's going on. VERY small shop.
I'm VERY interested in the Rescue Dive class, Photography/Videography, Wreck Dives, and so on. And I think I know the prerequisites. I've got them for the latter 2 but still need that Emergency First Response class for the former.
I'm not trying to scream through just the classes, as I truly do LOVE scuba. But I'll take anything at this point.
So any advice would be greatly appreciated, but I'll settle for me just stopping by to say hey.
I also haven't explored this forum whatsoever, haha, but it's next on my list.
Cheers!
edit: Also, I'm willing to drive a distance, up to 3 hours-ish. In fact, looks like that might be mandatory. And I freelance, so my schedule is pretty flexible, even during the week.
