Another Newbie Here....

[phrajao]

Just signed up. Been lurking for a few weeks and have found lots of good info here....this is definitely a great resource!

A little about me: I'm in northern California. My father first threw me in the water with a scuba tank on when I was seven (25+ years ago). Finally got around to getting certified about 7 years ago. Spent a lot of time in the water off the Kona coast, and spent a few months in southern Thailand. I'm gonna graduate next summer and am starting to plan a ~3 week dive trip down south (caribbean probably). Tentatively thinking Bonaire and Honduras, but that will probably change as I learn more.

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

Be sure to check out the NorCal section of the California Kelp Divers forum so that you'll be able to hang out with some of our ScubaBoard members in your area... or if you post where you are diving they can tag along with you.

Dive safe!

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or respond to in this forum.

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. At the bottom, be sure to notice the Local & Singles Dive Club forums.

It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links above to reach this easily. And sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?

PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
What is your graduate work In? Diving related I hope, or something that will allow you the time and funds for diving.
Happy to have you aboard.

I need inspiration to revise my stock message. Maybe if I read over may last couple hundred welcoming messages. Hmm. Maybe.
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom
