I'm a certified DiveMaster (52525) is my Padi number, though since being back in the States I haven't had much time to dive...it is one of the true pleasures out there...it's you and only you and it's phenomenal... hopefully you can swim...I say go for it.

Been diving on and off for over 20 years with 45 logged dives. Even got NITROX certified for working on research dives. Padi certified. Tips - get a nice mask and fins (and BCD) to start with. This is something I regret as I spent more buying better sets. Other tip - relax and breath normally. It's hard to do sometimes, but make a conscience effort so your air (and experience) lasts longer. Go for it. It's a truly unique experience.

I'm a certified PADI open water diver. I only dive in the warm clear blue waters of the Caribbean. Now I just need to get back there and do some more diving! I don't have my own stuff, just rent locally where I'm at. Right now I can't afford to buy the stuff but if I ever moved down south or to an island I would definitely get my own.
