[allyssaj507]

Name: Ally

Location: Port Richey Area

Comments: I am 27 years old, and have been a diver since 2001. We just recently moved to the area from Minnesota, and my boyo doesn't dive, so I am looking for some people to go diving with. I am an experienced diver but since moving down here haven't been able to go because of conflicting work schedules and that nonsense...Anyway, now that my schedule has freed up some, I am looking to get out more. Give me a yell if you want to, I am always up for a dive. I have dove many places including Cabo, Bahamas(did a liveaboard there in 2006), Cozumel numerous times, Washington State, Lake Superior, and some in Wisconsin. I also love kayaking and underwater photography.

New to the board; not so new diver; I live sort of on the edge of Carrollwood and Citrus Park. I make trips to West Palm and the Keys a few times a year; planning on making one or two "dive destination" trips in the next year or so (Bonaire; Roatan; Belize maybe).

Always looking for a dive buddy for the weekend trips; interested in doing more diving as I approach retirement

 

[ReddogMP]

Name: ReddogMP/Chris

Location: St. Petersburg

Comments: I'm fairly new to diving. Just got certified in July of 07. I am loving it, and can't get enough. I grew up on the beaches and in the water, but took me a long time and a buddy to get me to dive classes. Now....I want more.

Hey all! I'm Sadie, new to Tampa and new PADI instructor. Been diving about fifteen years, all over the world, and just returned from a six-month stint in Japan.

I'm in Brandon area, and am used to 10+ dives a week lately, so I'm definitely looking for dive buddies here.

Thanks for such a great board, and please feel free to say hello!

[Chugger]

Name: Chugger/Mike

Location: Currently I'm in Guam, but in the process of transferring to Norfolk VA. My family is located in Oldsmar Florida.

Comments: I'm a Navy man. I kick myself in the butt for not getting certified while I was on shore duty in NC. I have read so much about the wrecks in NC that it makes me sick to my stomach to know I lived in Morehead City NC and know that I was so close and didn't even know it. I'm fairly new to diving been certified a little over a year, but have hit it full throttle. I'm currently about 85% done with my Divemaster. I know it's fast, but I'm only taking it for the education, not because I actually think I'm a "Divemaster". I received a killer deal on the class over here in Guam and couldn't resist. Anyway, I'll be in Florida for the month of August, and more than likely I'll have a lot of time on my hands during the week, so hit me up and we'll go get wet together.

 

[reefdiver1]

Hi All! I live in the Brandon Area. I have been diving for many years, but slowed down to a major lifestyle change, which included a divorce from my primary divebuddy! I'm saving up for a big trip sometime this year! If I can find Whale Sharks late August/ early September, then that is where I would like to go. I do some local diving, so if anyone wants to get together please let me know!
