Hello fellow divers.

[Etienne Hartman]

Hello Scubaboard community,

My name is Etienne Hartman. I started diving classes in september 2002. I am diabetic, but well controlled. In august 2003 I was qualified as a SSI Open Water Diver. In december 2003 I did qualify as SSI Advanced Open Water. I made 75 dives, most of them in the cold, limit vissibility waters of the Netherlands. In March we, myself and my wife, made 4 dives at Caño Island while travelling around in Costa Rica. In january 2005 we will make a dive trip with 8 friends of our diving school to the Philipines. I hope we can share a lot of experiences and knowledge through this board.

I wish everyone a prosporous and most important sound 2005.

Etienne,

Welcome. You will find this an excellent source of good down to earth information about diving. You can also share your experience with newer divers in the different forums. My wife and I were in Costa Rica this summer and we stayed at Occatol Resort. Good luck on your upcoming trip.
