R A Diver
Registered
I'm a new diver just getting certified. I don't know any other divers other than the ones in my class, Most of whom were there with buddies. I've looked at the buddy finder and I'm the only one near my location.
Several times a year I travel cross country on my motorcycle and want to dive while traveling, sending my gear ahead.
How do I go about finding a buddy in such situations? As a new diver I need a person with more experience. My spouse would really appreciate that person being the same sex as myself!
In March am going to Key West on the bike but want to take two days in Key Largo, but don't know anyone else there. Do I contact dive shops? Look on the buddy finder site? Maybe hiring a personal instructor for some sessions would work. Am also considering just going somewhere and taking a class?
Any suggestions, advice, or guidance?
