South African Instructor Couple, now in Orange County, CA. Hi to all!

[DeepSnarf]

Hi everyone!
My wife and I have been in the US for 6 months now and we have been studying up a storm. We are slowly getting to know diving spots on the Southern Californian coast and decided to join up here to get to know a few more fellow divers!

I'll be lurrking for a bit to get comfortable with my cup of cofE and will be looking forward to joining in on some of the threads soon.

Just thought I'd introduce ourselves and get ye ol' keyboard fired up in here.

Chat soon!

Hi DeepSnarf,

Welcome to the O.C. Might I suggest Sea Stallion Scuba Outfitters located in Lake Forest. They meet at the shop to go diving every Sat (conditions permitting) and dive Laguna. It's alot of fun and we'd love to see ya there.

Thanks to all the warm welcomes. I'm very excited about the board, seems like there's quite a heart beat here.

IslandCowgirl, thnx for the invite, we might just take you up on that in the not too distant future We're just a bit snowed under this weekend studying for finals next week, but the weekend thereafter might be an opportunity. How many people usually dive on these gettogethers you speak of in Laguna?

Welcome to SoCal. You'll find a lot of active divers here. Some day I hope to dive your native sites.

Look at the monthly Wrinkles dives as a great way to meet other SoCal divers. The next one is July 8th here on Catalina Island.

Hi DeepSnarf - welcome to SB! Nice to meet fellow S.A.'s here - so if you and your wife ever come to Thailand please feel welcome to pop into our dive club for a dive and some biltong! Have a good time in the USA!

Welcome to the board! This place does seem to have a life of its own. Lots of great people to meet and tons of great information. If you ever make it out to Ohio look me up and we'll see if we can work out some diving.

Hi Ber Rabbit and everyone else;
Thank you for the warm greets. Ber, I'll be sure to look you up if ever in your back yard of the country to arrange for us to go blow some bubbles together.

I have to apologize to the forum if any confusion might be caused, but I decided to change my handle to attempt to stay off a mail spam attack from a Usenet group. It seems that a troll has been looking for excuses to track me down and flood my mail account with junk. Hope that te change won't confuse anyone here too much.

Best regards!
