Welcome to an addiction where sinking to new lows is a good thing lol. If your ever in FL let me know I have a kind of flexible schedule with notice. What are your plans for advancing your certification? What are your interests?

Welcome! I was the same way when I started over 15 years ago. My best diving buddies now are people I met while advancing my certifications. Another great and easy way to meet fellow divers is to go on the dives organized by your local shops. A lot of the same people tend to go on those excursions so it won't take long to feel part of a dive group. Other than that, if you are planning a trip to dive somewhere this forum is a good place to ask for tips, dive spot recommendations, and find people to dive with you while you are there.
