Hello everyone,
I completed my PADI Open Water certification the summer of 2014. I originally got certified because I had an upcoming, work paid for, trip to Jamaica that fall. I since then have been hooked and proceeded to get my Nitrox, Advanced Open Water, and Rescue Diver certifications over the last two years. I was contemplating going down the UTD Technical Diving route, but after purchasing all the gear for diving with doubles I've found that I really don't care for all the extra hassle involved with lugging around double tanks, ha! So I'm not sure where I'm going to go from here but the only certain thing is that I will be in the water doing it.
I enjoy diving in warm water, but nearly all of my dives have been locally, so I'm not afraid of the cold. Low 40's F at depth is my usual limit with my 7mm wetsuit. Eventually I'll be purchasing a drysuit, but for now I'm still enjoying myself. I've mostly dove local lakes, but I've also dove the Saint Clair River a few times. Last summer I just started diving some of the wrecks on Lake Huron, and I really enjoy that.
I've browsed this forum several times over the years so I decided it's now time to make an account, especially since I have a few things I'm looking to sell, but also since I'll be looking for new people to dive with since my dive buddy is leaving the country on work assignment for the next couple years.
