Hello

[Jeffrey Hoffman]

Hello All,
I am in the process of completing my Open Water certification with SSI. I love the water and have always wanted to learn to scuba and decided now was the time. I have completed 2 classroom and pool sessions and I am obsessed. I see on the site that some have left the corporate life for a career diving or in the diving industry... I am jealous... who knows, maybe one day.

I found this site and appreciate all of the knowledge and insight this forum and it's members offer. I am looking forward to gaining diving knowledge and experience and diving with new dive buddies.

Jeff

Thank you all. Will also be getting Nitrox cert with the OW cert. I will be in Tampa in a few months. Any recommendations on local dive boats? I have heard some good and bad stories.

Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Welcome! I see you're located about an hour from me. I'm up in Jersey about 20 miles NE of Philly. There's a quarry up in Bethlehem PA called Dutch Springs. Haven't been yet but planning a trip sometime soon. Let me know if you'd like to buddy up.
