Hello from NYC

[tmrqs]

Hello world!

After a discovery dive in Aruba a couple months back, I caught the diver bug and got certified for Open Water and Enriched Air last week!

Discovered this board as I was looking for feedback on diving computers and will be bugging you all with tons of questions soon.
I promise I’ll read the entire topics before posting though, so you don’t have to tell me to find the answer on the previous page.

Can’t wait to dive again and keep learning/discovering!

Cheers,

Quick question: how does one get that fancy “ScubaBoard Supporter” tag? I’d happily support!

Welcome from a Yonkers native. Where in NYC? Let us know where you'll dive locally. I'm pretty familiar with shore diving in the area.

Welcome from a Yonkers native. Where in NYC? Let us know where you'll dive locally. I'm pretty familiar with shore diving in the area.

I lived in Manhattan for about 4 years and now am in Long Island City.
So far my few dives have only been in tropical waters, a bit scared to dive in the cool cool water around here... would probably need cold water gear too.
