[nammman]

Name: Nam

Location: Palm Harbor, Tampa

Comments: I'm 21 years of age and have a great passion for the ocean. I am currently a undergraduate student at the University of Tampa and study Marine Biology. I own all of my equipment, except for tanks which I rent. My problem is that I don't own a boat or vessel, so I'm restricted to freshwater and shore dives. I an very much interested in networking with other divers in the Tampa Bay area, who owns a boat and needs buddies to dive with.

Name: Dee/Deanna

Location: Tampa, Carrollwood Area

Comments:I am 20 years of age and have just switched from a psych major to a marine bio major at USF. I love diving, and was certified back in April. I need to rent reg, bcd, and tanks, and that (at the moment) is keeping me from diving much because of the combined costs of rentals and entrance fees/boat fees. I would love to meet other local divers to further my experience and have fun! Oh, and I was pretty much born with a camera in my hand, and my camera(s) almost always go with me everywhere.

[matt8981]

Name: Matt8981 / Matt (Shocker I know)

Location: Lakeland FL- Exactly half way between Tampa and Orlando

Comments: I have been diving for 11 years now but only REALLY got into recently. I was a Spring break or vacation diver before and now that I live in Florida I try to go out as much as I can, which sadly isn't very often because I have a pregnant wife and a two year old at home. I am a down to earth guy and so is my dive buddy (best friend) we don't really like to talk technical dive crap and compare equipment and all that other stuff a lot of people do. If we go diving with you then prepare to have a good time and hear (and tell) cool stories only. If you give us about 2 weeks notice we will go diving with anyone anytime anywhere (within reason).....just let me know!!!

Comments: I just moved to St. Petersburg a couple of weeks ago, and haven't been diving in this area yet. I'm attending Eckerd College for a Marine Science degree and working as a PADI instructor as well. I'd love to go out on some dives so I can get used to the area and all it has to offer! If anyone ever needs a buddy just PM me or email me at poggus@gmail.com. Look forward to the new community
