Yet Another 'New Guy'

[Elgenivek]

Greetings. I have just recently earned my open water certification up here in the chilly waters of Michigan Hopefully it will lead to an exciting (although expensive) hobby perusing the Great Lakes as well as some tropical locations.

My wife is also working on her certification - although she had some sinus troubles that prevented her from completing her 4 required dives a couple of weeks ago.

Welcome to ScubaBoard! Congrats to both of you and good luck to your wife! I had some sinus troubles while doing my OW certification dives, so I know how she must feel! Let me know if I can do anything to help ya, send me a PM if you ever need anything... I hope to get to know you better around the boards!

Safe diving!

congrats and welcome, i had alot of problems with my O/W dives(sinus) i just took it reall slow. I was having the same problems untill this summer i started diving a bunch, and now i have no problems, i took almost 3 weeks off before i dove this last weekend and the first dive was a bit sketchy, but after that, it was all good. So i think just get diving and it should be good.

Congrats and welcome. I am sure your wife will be right on your heels. Diving with someone you love is an incredible experience.

Hi Elgenivek,

Congratulations and best of luck to your wife. I'm in Minnesota and understand the "Chilly Waters." I will be completing my OW Cert the end of this month. I just hope the weather decides to warm up a bit.

I hope to do some diving in Michigan next summer while I'm visiting my Brother in South Bend, Indiana. We usually make it to the St. Joseph beach a couple times each summer.

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

I'm sure you and your wife will be happily "chilling" together on dives soon!

Don't forget to fill out your profile and dive info, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, once we have a bit more specific idea of where you are geographically (Lake Michigan's got a lot of coastline :11: ), you may find that you'll have a whole bunch of new dive buddies to choose from locally.

Dive safe!

Christian

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or repsond to in this forum.
