I live in the bay area. Napa to be exact. I am still a new diver and need to get out a lot more. All my friends are slackers when it comes to scuba diving. I wish I could go alone but thats about the dumbest idea in the world soooo... Looking for a dive partner or a group.

I Live in California in the Bay Area. In the city of Berkeley. I am a Gymnastics coach and love my job. But my back injury (from a backflip in gymnastics) is keeping me from spoting my students for long periods of time. My mom and dad where divers and they met through diving and had me. So I...
