Hi everyone, first post for me. I have decided to pursue a dream of mine to learn to scuba dive, kinda later in life I know. But I'm healthy and strong.
My question is this..... Since I am the only one I know here in my circle who has this interest, I'll be taking the pool part of my training, and certification all by my lonesome. Which also means that any future resort diving I do...will be by my lonesome. Since diving is a buddy sport...how awkward will this be. Are there usually other solo divers I should be able to buddy with?
Thanks for any insight on what I might expect as an odd wo(man) out!
...Boy it would be so much easier if I had a dive buddy...hubbys an avid sailor, but no interest in diving, I have no interest in sailing, go figure. Everyone I've been in contact with so far at training and dive shops has been super friendly. I'm hoping I'll have nothing to worry about.

You've probably gotten you C-card by now. I'm also a single in my group of friends as none have wanted to get certified. I'm in SE Michigan and always looking for dive buddies. Where do you dive locally?Thanks everybody, I'm excited to start.
