Greetings Folks,
After reading this board (NE forum mostly) for quite some time, I finally decided to join. AOW certified about 10 years ago, due to various reasons my diving history is still limited to about 35 dives, most of which are vacation dives. However, in the last couple of months I did half a dozen dives out of Gloucester and in Lake Champlain, and I guess I got hooked by local diving and would like to do much more of it going forward.
Being sort of landlocked in Western Massachusetts without a boat, I'm really interested in exploring local freshwater shore dives, with an occasional trip to a larger body of water (ocean, sound, Lake George maybe). While I really enjoyed Cape Ann and Burlington, 5-6 hours of driving a day does take away from the experience, and charter fees quickly add up.
So if any of you are looking for a buddy for a weekend dive around here (western MA, northwestern CT, southern VT) - please let me know. I'm up for anything - Connecticut river sounds nice, ponds, lakes, quarries. If you have your favorite ocean shore dives, I'd love to check them out too, as I've read in this forum that finding them sometimes can get tricky.
Anyway, shoot me a message or reply to this thread if interested!
