Re: Calling all Divers
 

Please do post some pictures, I would love to see them.

I am debating if I want to go Divemaster. This would be the best place to do it, I could be done in 8 weeks if not sooner. I just don't want to be THAT divemaster with less than 100 dives, haha. Noe much cred.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

I got my certs a few years ago. I haven't been in the water for what seems like forever, but there's not many a day go by that I don't think about it. If there's a place on earth that I was meant to be, it's right down there where the gulf meets the atlantic. I'm completely convinced God created it specifically for me. ;)
I always worry that someday I'll wake up, pack a bag and that'll be that. I always did tend to get a bit walky, but that's kinda simmered down as I get older. Fortunately I have a good woman who keeps my feet stuck, and she understands how I miss it. She's promised she's going with me when the time comes.
I grew up on the water between cape cod and a lake in PA, and it's really tough not to be near it.

we're diving thursday morning. hit the water at 7am. gonna hunt some lobsters

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Nice, I hope it is a good one. I just got home from our boat dive this afternoon. The tide was heading out of the bay and the Vis was crappy. I have 4 dives lined up for tomorrow as long as I don't run out of bottom time. Two boat dives at 0930 then get the tanks jammed and head out in the afternoon. :banger:banger

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Had my cert for 8 years but it a long way to the ocean from nebraska.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Been certified since 1988 and logged over 1000 dives in my first 8 years. Would have been more if not for those pesky deployments. Of course living in Guam and Hawaii during those 8 years made it pretty easy. Only a few dozen since then and none in over 18 months. I have got to start getting wet again soon, or quit claiming to be a diver...

Re: Calling all Divers
 

3' viz on this morning's dive. sucked. found the bottom by bumping into it.
as my partner today was inexperienced (not my regular dive buddy), we called it quits fairly quickly.

oh well....I'll dive again over the weekend if things clear up here

Re: Calling all Divers
 

I am certified through rescue diver and will dive in a mud puddle if given the chance.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Nice!!

I ended up doing 3 dives yesterday and they were all amazing. We had vis around 60-80 feet and almost no current. Four more boat dives planned this weekend, cannot wait.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

diving again saturday. trying an area i've not dove before. supposedly big lobsters and small sharks.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Heading out today at 1300 for two boat dives.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

I'm a certified Dive Master but won't dive in quarries just don't like the fresh water. Haven't done much diving in the last 2 yrs messing around with getting new hip joints and all, but would love to go off the coast of VA and do a little diving. I'm unable to see the first photo's you took states they are unavailable.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Certified PADI rescue diver in 94 but then life got in the way. Still got the gear but tanks are out of date.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

diving is out for a number of days around here thanks to Hurricane Irene. hopefully conditions will be back next week by mid-week or so

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Well I have decided to go for Dive Master. I signed up for my Rescue Diver class today and should be done with that by the end of the month and then start the Dive Master stuff the beginning of October!!

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Congrats and good luck Adam!

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Adam...very cool! good luck on the DM path. ya come over to the Florida treasure coast let me know. got some great diving nearby

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Well I am getting over my head cold/flu thingy just in time to finish up Rescue Diver and Emergency Frist Responder training this weekend. Thank God, this has probably been the sickest I have been in a long time.

Today I also stopped by the dive shop and signed up and paid for the Underwater Photography class as well as the Dive Master package. I have no clue what I am getting into but eh.....when in rome.

Re: Calling all Divers
 

Do what Romans do Adam. That sound awesome about the DM and photography and all other stuff as well.
