Newbie in Richmond, VA

[sjdarji]

Hi all. This is a great board...thanks for having it.

I am in Richmond, VA and have been certified for about a year. I have only logged 8 dives or so, though, before I lost my dive buddy. I am dying to get into the sport, so am trying to make some contacts at the local dive shops. I think I need some more experience with some seasoned divers before doing any trips out into the big ocean.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and thanks for the board.

Actually, I was living in NoVA when I got certified, so I have only been to Millbrook in Haymarket.

Hope to get to Rawlings this season, as I hear it is a nice place for beginners.

Howdy San!

Welcome to SB!! :happywave Put us in your computer's favorites and check in often. This is a great place to learn, compare, argue

I've dived off of Morehead City NC a couple of trips, but those really required more training and experience. Why not take a week off - in Key Largo! Great place for greehorns to start, gain experiences, maybe do your AOW & Nitrox cards. That's where I did my early diving. Now, I go back for the deep wrecks - including a couple most opertors won't even talk about.
