Hola from Northern California

[Canela SF]

Greetings all...

I'm really happy to have found the scuba board. I was initially looking for information on a dive trip to Brazil (see my post under South American travel, in which I am begging for info)...and it looks like I've found a great forum for a lot of information. So, I hope to stick around.

A little about me: I'm from northern California, where we dive in the chilly, but gorgeous kelp forests. I've discovered the joys of warm water diving, too. Coming up on my 10th year of diving, and looking forward to another 40 or 50 years of it!

Welcome from Sacramento.

Welcome to the board. Just curious. Why do californians refer to the San Francisco area as Northern California. Isn't San Francisco in the middle? Just curious. And welcome again.

If you look at a map, yes it is in the middle. But here is the skinny on how we Californians describe our state. San Diego to Santa Barbra is Southern California, or refferd to as down by Smell A. From Santa Barbra to Santa Cruz is the Central Coast. From Santa Cruz up is Northern Cali. Bakerfield and fresno are the armpits of California and Napa and Sonoma are in wine country. Californication is everywhere in Cali. :wacko:
