Just like the title says.

A diving enthusiast has gotten me very interested in diving, so I have lots of questions (and will probably have more later on). I've never done anything besides snorkeling.

Hi everyone!

 

[swinging pink]

welcome. ask away.

Congratulations on your interest in diving! Spent a little time in the New Divers forum here -- there are some excellent threads about choosing instructors and shops, and about dealing with any skills problems you might have during your class. Lots of great information!

Welcome to SB. Great resources here.

Some 20 years ago my GF and I were snorkeling in Mexico. I saw some divers about 30 feet below us.

I said to myself, "why am I on the surface when I could be down THERE?"

The dive bug bit and has not let go.

If you can legally drive a car
If you can jump into the deep end of a large pool
If you can hold your breath 30 seconds UW

Then congratulations - you OVER QUALIFY to become a scuba diver.

Now, read up on the following thread (follow link), and let us know if you become totally confused or think we're a crazy bunch.
