    Red face New Girl

    Hello everyone,

    I'm new to the Scuba Board and figured the best way to start off is with a greeting right? I'm pretty new to the sport being only a level two but what's important is that I do have goals. For now I'm shooting for Divecon. I'm from Sunny Miami, FL but I'm currently living in Texas. Temporarily because I'm "married to the military." Although I prefer the warm tropical waters painted with beautiful colorful coral, the adjustment to freshwater lakes is, well, an experience I guess. I've never had to use more than a 3mm shorty until now. With water temperatures at 50 degrees this time of year a 13mm (6.5 mm long john under a 6.5 mm shorty) wetsuit is a common part of the total diving equiptment for the divers over here.
    Well, It's nice to be part of the group.
    P.s. Can anyone give me a little more info on becomming a Divecon?

    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.

    You can test the tanks you breathe or - dive on hope.
    Testing is safer...


    Great news for vacation divers who cannot talk themselves into buying a personal CO tank tester!

    >> Rent one for a week or longer here <<
    Now let's see more CO readings in your trip reports, ok...??
