Just wanted to chime in here- I'm from the Santa Cruz area and do a lot of cold water diving... also freediving in Sonoma County, hence 'abalonediver'....

Hey Welcome to the board. There's lots of good info about diving and a great group of people on here.
Make sure to check out The CA Kelp Diver's Forum http://scubaboard.com/f61-california-kelp-divers.html to find out about local conditions and possibly find dive buddies.

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 for such changes. 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."

Hey Abalonediver, welcome to the board. What do you find invigorating about the cold water diving? I often wonder whether I would prefer to wear a 3mm all the time but it is nice to step out of the dry suit into a warming sun!! Safe diving and we look forward to reading your posts.

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
You'll probably find that many of your neighbors are members of ScubaBoard if you read the "California Kelp Divers'" forum. That's where to find local dive buddies and local events.
I have yet to get the inspiration I need to revise my stock message, but I have (some) faith {-It could happen!}. 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 to where it can receive better attention.
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!
