Hi from Cincinnati

[buttonc22]

I am really new to diving I am 16 and and am about to go take my open water dive to get certified any advice?

Don't hold your breath!

Congrats, good luck, and Welcome to Scubaboard!


Best advice I can give you is to keep at it, and don't be afraid to ask questions!

Welcome to Scubaboard and Poseidon's Realm via the internet. Enjoy your OW class and I second the comment ask questions.

Thanks I'll decently ask questions

Ask questions in the New Divers forum (for generic course questions), or in your appropriate local regional forum (for instructor/school recommendations etc).

Open Water training is the foundations of your skill as a diver - spending some time doing intelligent research on your training provider is the first step towards becoming a safe and competent diver. Don't assume that all schools/instructors operate at the same levels of teaching skill, safety or dedication.

Welcome to Scubaboard from another Buckeye! I am in Columbus and was OW certified in February. I did my training here in Columbus and was fortunate to do my OW checkout in Jamaica. I also plan on doing some diving on the wrecks in Lake Erie this summer.

Welcome, my 14 year old daughter and I just got certified last year through her high school in Cincinnati. You will have a blast. There are some great local divers around, you will find that there is a wealth of information on this board. The quarry diving in Ohio is a blast so have fun...
