Hi folks,
I've had my OW for 6 years or so, but have had only a few opportunities to dive. I logged four dives in The Bahamas a couple of years ago, and two more in Puerto Rico a year or so before that. So instead of waiting for opportunities (those were both business travel where I added days), I'm going to get proactive on this. I'm older - 65 - ok, probably just old for many of you. I've been meaning to do this for years and years. Better get going!
I've lurked a bit here and really enjoy the atmosphere and conversation. Being single and a low-dive diver, it's a bit daunting to consider just signing up for a dive and hoping to find a compatible buddy. I was lucky in Nassau having connected ahead of time with a local DM through a scubaboard conversation about the diver operator. He just offered to come along as my buddy. It was great and enabled me to learn a lot in the process. Sounds like the option offered on at least some SD trips.
