Where are you from in SD?

There are a very small handful of South Dakotan's on SB - about 4 or 5 - with I think Squidster being the most active on the board.

I escaped from SD last fall to double my salary and us the extra $ to pursue the mid atlantic wreck diving opportunities here and the cave diving opportunities 12 hours south in Florida.

But to be honest, odd as it may seem, diving is much more of a pain here with weather and logistics issues. The end result is a lot less diving, even if some of that diving is higher quality. So don't underestimate the diving in the middle of continent - and the great lakes with some superb wreck diving are still within driving distance of SD.

Welcome to the board !!! I'm a native South Dakotan, transplated to Texas many years ago.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one from SD here. Being in the midwest makes warm water diving a little more difficult, but wife and I were at Sandals Negril last month and had a great time. The diving was average, but the resort was fun.
