Hello from Virginia!

[Squirrel Bagel]

Hi all!

I'm super happy to have found such a large and active online community, even with the world shutting down around us again. I've literally just finished my PADI Open Water cert last weekend, and I'm hoping that by the time the sun comes out again in the spring, life will allow me to really get going under the water.

Cheers!

weather is still fine in Richmond. Water was still 72 degrees at Lake Phoenix last weekend (above 40 ft anyway), ton of folks still diving.

Nope, haven't made it to any proper open water yet, but definitely planning to. We are actually looking at moving to the Tampa Bay area in the near future, so that will likely lead to loads of fun in bigger water. I've been told under no uncertain terms that I have to take my wife to dive with manta rays, whale sharks, and along the corals in Belize ... so yeah. We plan to dive some ocean-ness.
