It's a good place to be. Welcome aboard. Got any dive trips lined up?

Not yet! Looking at a Grand Cayman or a Cozumel trip through PADI Travel in December of 2019 though. Trying to figure out what to do over the winter...

Cozumel can be a great trip, with a lot of options; My Research Notes from Planning Cozumel Trip - My Research Notes from Planning Cozumel Trip
The Caymans can also be excellent; I dove there via a live-aboard, but wrapped my broader info. into my trip report in 2016. It's such a popular destination a lot's been posted about the Caymans since then.
Even during winter a number of Caribbean destinations feature warm water diving, but if you want it especially warm, and below the hurricane belt with good chances of good weather, Bonaire and Curacao are good choices down in the southern Caribbean near South America.
There are other options, but you've got to start somewhere.

What did that deer do to you?

Welcome to SB. I'm also in Indy. GC and Coz are great choices. Would also look into planning trips on your own. Can be cheaper ways with a little research. Indy MPH (where I did my OW training in 1998) and Diver's Supply both offer trips throughout the year. Some look pretty good.
Is that a Brown County deer?
Enjoy SB. I've learned a lot here.

By the way, nice buck. I don't hunt (like to eat them though; heavily tenderized deer tenderloin, fried, can be very good), but come from a family of hunters, and grew up in an area where it was very prevalent.

Welcome! For the first 10 years or so of my diving life I lived just east of Indy. There is plenty of good local diving and lots of quality buddies around. More than you'd expect! I'd encourage you to join the Great Lakes Wrecking Crew forum here on SB. They also have a FB group. I'd also encourage you to look into the Indy Dive Club based out of Divers' Supply Indy on the eastside. Good people!
I now live in South FL. If you ever get down here to the diving mecca between Jupiter on the North and Key Largo on the South, let me know. I dive regularly down here.
