Hi Folks!

I'm Marvel, from S FL- Lauderdale By The Sea- beachfront, to be exact. I've been unable to dive during the "cold" winter months & I'm really starting to "jones" over it. So, my temporary solution is to just post like crazy & pray for the water to warm up :)

Brief bio of pertinent info: Female, single, 46, love to dive, read, play with computers & play pool. Going to do the whole joining up & in thing here. It's wonderful to have a place to go that I can meet people who share one of my greatest passions.

'Course, despite being a singles forum, the way the dive community structures things, this may also turn into a great place to just meet & get to know PEOPLE, regardless of gender, probably make a lot of new friends & learn more about the sport I love.

I started diving last summer & in the course of about 3 months have done between 40-50 dives. They were happening so fast that I had a hard time keeping up with my dive log & eventually fell hopelessly behind!

So, that's me in a nutshell- yes, I'll post the pics soon. I'm at work today & don't really have access. For the really curious (should there be any): http://www.flpanther...ideshow01.shtml
Really lousy picture but you get the idea....

BTW Wreck Wench,

I was diving this weekend. I'll try to type up a couple reports today (I still have to finish my logbook).

Marvel,

Can you believe flat calm and 15 feet of viz at Venice Beach?
