I am new to scuba diving I need one night dive to finish my AOW. I am taking a Nitrox and a drysuit course starting in February (already finished the books and all the homework) If you are from Illinois or Wisconsin then I friend requested you in hopes of dving someday soon. If you are from other states I friend requested you because you seem like you have some expertiese or knowledge beyond mine and I would like to chat sometime. And yes I actually friend requested some people because of their cool avatar or user name: I especially like the dude who has the dog with the scuba gear on. I have been bitten with thwe scuba bug and want to go every week, problem is I don't have any real dive buddies or belong to a club. I can dive with my local shop as long as I'M taking a class, but even when I take a class they go at a snails pace and take forever. Right after high school I went to College on a swimming scholarship and I always wanted to scuba dive. Somehow I wasted 20 years after College before actually deciding to dive and I cant believe what I am missing. I don't even mind traveling a few hours to make a dive. I want to become a better diver bouyancy, trim, kicking techniques etc. and would really enjoy diving with someonme more experienced that can help and give me some pointers. Someday I may learn the DIR way and take a fundies course, if I can find some divers and a course not too far from where I live. Don't be bashful if you come to my page leave me a message I'm looking for scuba buddies.
