Hello to ScubaBoard

[PapaSmurf]

I'm a new diver in the Seattle area. I took my OW class in June. I have 19 logged dives mostly in the Puget Sound but just recently got back from Maui Hawaii and did some awesome dives there.

I got my SSI OW cert from Fifth Dimension in Issaquah, WA. Although the class completes all the SSI requirements they also taught skills following DIR fundamentals. I like the DIR philosophy to diving and am following it as much as possible. I plan to continue my training and eventually take the GUE DIR fundamentals course. We'll see where things go from there.

I like the discussions on ScubaBoard and hopefully I can participate and possibly even contribute.
