Hello All,
I'd like to say first that this forum is awesome. It's such as wealth of information. I have been actively using the search function to uncover tons o' nuggets.
I have just entered this great sport. I can't believe that I haven't done this earlier. Anyway, I live on the west side of Houston. I just certified for OW in May and have done some dives in Qatar and Oman. I travel a bit in my profession. I just returned from Qatar after being there nine months which is where I was certified. So, I am getting back into the swing of things and am looking for responsible dive buddies. I'm single so you single girls out there shouldn't be afraid to give me a jingle if you'd like to go for a dive. I'd be happy to team up with you in a group too if that makes you more comfortable. I'm easy to get along with and really enjoy any adventure.
I am in the process of obtaining my own gear. I am pretty much sold on a BP/W but so far have not found any dive shops that either rent this gear out or allow trials or even have the stuff. If there are any experienced BP/W divers in Houston and you wouldn't mind diving with me, I would be eager to dive with you to soak up the details of BP/W diving. I would be very grateful. I'm still a bit fuzzy on the details of how the BP, W, and tank are connected so due to lack of experience, I'm having a problem choosing specific equipment (i.e., get STA or not?). I'd like to make the best choice first if possible. I have read so much here that I think I need to actually see a BP/W rig to understand the intricate details of it completely. Also, I would really like to dive with someone who has any type of DSS rig. I am liking what Tobin offers.
See ya below the surface,
Richard
