Welcome to ScubaBoard, a great place to learn about your new passion, not a great place to find every diver in Arkansas. To meet divers, that are ready to dive. . . start at your dive shop near home, make friends among their customers. Also, find each of the dive shops near the lakes you'll be diving in. Greers Ferry lake, Lake Ouchita, Lake DeGray, all have dive shops at the lake and you'll be able to meet divers that are refilling tanks, for immediate use. Just what a new diver needs. There will be shore dives and boat dives, and people that know where to go for the best conditions. The more time you can spend at lakeside dive shops, the more you'll meet the people that are diving. This summer you're a newbie, next summer you're the experienced diver everyone wants to dive with.
Welcome, to the Board, read and learn. . . Then start answering questions from all the newbies joining day after day.
