n00b here

Hi all! I'm new to the board and a newly certified OW diver. I'm excited to pursue this new activity/hobby and I'm honestly regretful that I didn't get certified years ago - wife and I did an introductory dive out in Maui some 10 years ago, loved it, and always planned to get trained but never got around to it until this past spring. Anyway, I'm glad I finally did it.

I've done a couple of murky reservoir dives here in Colorado and will do likewise at my property in Minnesota, so I don't forget how. Hopefully a warm/exotic dive holiday is on the cards this winter though.

Cheers,
-James

Welcome, newly (this year) certified OW myself.

Depending on where you are in MN there are a few dive shops that have local dive/get togethers at least monthly through summer.
