Hello Everyone!

[PresbyTech]

Hello Everyone! I am not yet a diver but very interested in becoming one. Maybe even going as far as Instructor if I can. I will be doing it alone as I have no friends or relatives interested nor financially able to do it. Anyway, my first diving experience is going to be in March of 2004 when I go on vacation to Australia. I will be going to Cairns and doing my dive training with ProDive there. As well as doing my Advanced OW course there too. I am hoping to make this a good experience and if anyone out there has any suggestions I will gladly take heed. Thanks ,

Dennis

Welcome to the finest board, Scuba or otherwise. But... do yourself a favor, and don't wait the year! Go get certified locally and start diving now!!! You will enjoy the phenominal diving Australia has to offer far more if you get some experience before you go. The board is great and you can learn a lot from it... but get thee hence and learn to dive!

I second NetDoc - if you can find a way - get certified sooner!! You'll have more fun in Australia ...... just wish I hadn't waited as long as I did!!

welcome Dennis

none of my friends or family dive either but i took the plunge a few months ago and love it. my dive club is a great place to find buddies to dive with and they are great with sharing their knowledge.

i also agree with netdoc and kat! then you can relax and have more time to get in the water and check it all out instead of spending half your holiday in the classroom and pool!

i'm heading up cairns way in january - looking forward to it.
