Just got my certification!

[Ann Marie]

Hi Everyone!

I am new to SB and to diving! I just got my certification on 3/7. I have wanted to learn to dive for about as long as I can remember. I was worried that after my first day of beach diving that I wasn't cut out for scuba. The second dive that day really kicked my butt. I was cold, got trashed by a couple of waves and was just physically wiped out after the second dive. Turns out I was getting sick. I spent a week in bed with a nasty cold. Conditions were great this last weekend and we were able to finish our dives for certification. Lets just say that I am glad that I didn't quit the first weekend. I loved it! I felt so much better about diving and had no problems!

Anyway, I live in Mission Viejo, Ca (So. Cal). I enjoy reading everyone's posts!

Thanks!

Yabba-Dabba-Doo!!!!! Welcome to the cool world of scuba! I messed up my ears badly on my open water dives but I'm glad I stuck with it too.

Welcome!

I learned to dive in So Cal too many years ago. The beach entries are your dues for the great weather you usually have! Get on a boat and head out to Catalina or the other Channel Islands and you'll never regret your choice for a sport!
