Upcoming OW Class at DD?

[RowingMunkeyCU]

Hey all!

Just signed up to be re-certified at DD after not having been diving in 8 or 9 years. Anyone else on here going to be in the class? (They haven't told me a start date yet though)

Glad to hear it!!

A weeknight class or a Saturday class??

I sometimes help out with the Saturday classes.

Probably a weeknight class (the woman who was working the counter on Saturday thought they would be Thursday evenings, but wasn't positive). Either way, I'm not really tied down so I'm just waiting to hear

 

[Tavi]

Cool!!

There's still plenty of time to get cerified and get some diving in before this seasons over!!

 

[RowingMunkeyCU]

ya, that was the goal

wait long enough that the water (well, at least some of it) has had a chance to warm up, and not too long that i'm going to be freezing off various body parts...

Who are you calling wuss bag??

I've dived in 37f water.

Most divers around here don't dive from the time the snow flies until Ice out.
And we don't do training dives when the water is below 60. If the newbies don't have fun, they don't come back!! We like to see them have fun and continue diving!!

I just don't get that not diving in the winter thing... I have to drive north from Buffalo to Toronto in the winter just to go diving


I can understand a few people not wanting, but everyone? Or is it just that there are no dives sites that stay "open" year round?

Sweeeet... classes are finally scheduled to start on the 19th! It would've been nice to start sooner, but I guess thus follows the phrase "good things come to those who wait". :-D
