Newbie looking for buddies.

[malinut]

Hello out there!

I am fresh out of my open water class and can not stop thinking about getting back in the water. I desperately need a dive buddy. I am hoping to find someone out there who is willing to put up with a newbie who is definately still learning.

I live in the Inland Empire and willing to dive anywhere, short of a porta poddy!

Typically, Sun thru Tues. work best for me. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Howdy malinut! One of the best ways to meet other divers is to join up with a local "club". In the IE we have a good active group..see http://www.scdcie.org/
Another way is seeking out groups that dive alot such as this group or www.southcoastdivers.com . I personally don't do Sundays but there are alot that do.
If you can make it to the "Winkles" dive this coming Saturday, I sure you'll find someone to do a beach dive with you. Dive safe!

Thanks for the info dwaters. I'll check into both.

Welcome to diving and the SoCal section of ScubaBoard! :happpywave

I see you posted that Sun - Tues are best for you, but if you could manage to come out this Saturday, you could meet a whole bunch of ScubaBoard members in Laguna Beach at our Wrinkles Dive and BBQ. We are a friendly group and most of us are quite open to diving with newbies.

You can find more info about that event here:

Then, of course, there is our Wrinkles Dive on Catalina Island in November:

Hope to meet you at a dive sometime soon!

I can dive Sundays, Mondays (morning) and Tuesdays (also mornings) every week. Just let me know when you can make it and I'll let you know if I'm diving. I'm in the OC and typically dive Laguna Beach. I have no problem diving with newbies if you have no problem with a little Kool Aid.

HeadHunter. thank you for the invite. This week will not work for me, but I am eyeing that Catalina trip with great interest!! I will sign up as soon as I know that I can make it.
