Hi!  :wavey: 

I just joined this group - like literally, a few days ago.  I received my SCUBA certification back in 2016, thinking that I would use it ALL of the time!!  Well.... that didn't really go as planned.  I am now an 'empty nester' and I'm looking out for #1!!!  I am so ready to use my certification and want to meet similar like people who wish they had fins vs. feet.  I am an AVID swimmer and a thrill seeker, with wanting to swim with sharks at the top of my 'bucket list'. I've been sky diving, snorkeling, glass blowing, axe throwing and my list isn't NEAR complete!   :diver:

 

I would like to do a short trip this year, maybe just to Florida first... and then keep continuing on... further away, gaining more dives and more experience.  I would also like to get the courage to do a night dive at some point.  Either way.... I am SOOOOO looking forward to just not swimming in pools anymore - LOL.

Welcome aboard!!! You are in luck, the New Years Eve Roatan trip sounds like it's right up your ally.  Diving is easy, airfare is cheap, and there are plenty of sharks but none are really dangerous.  Florida can actually be fairly advanced in comparison but it is close. Good luck!!!

Hi Janette aka Reefer Mama...LOVE THE SCREEN NAME!! :wub:

 

And :welcome: to our fun, safe and amazing club for divers of all skill levels, age levels and pretty much all other levels!!!

 

Scott aka Cmdr. Clownfish is right about Florida being more advanced than most people realize. Its kind of 'fend for yourself' diving and not exactly what you need if you just getting your feet wet again. The only exception would be to hire a guide to do a refresh and go diving with you. It costs more that way but its a great way to get back in the water if you wanted to stay in the US. We can help with that if that is something you are interested in. Just email me at kamala@singledivers.com.  Roatan is indeed a great place for that as well as our July Cozumel trip which is also an easy flight from HOU.

 

In fact our Bonaire trip this Thanksgiving is perfect too but your empty nesters will probably be home for the holidays so you may not be able to do that trip.

 

Let us know if we can help in anyway! Glad you found us! Kamala

:hiya:  Janette and  :welcome:  to the awesome world of Singledivers.com.   It's the best for find buddyless divers and Kamala and crew put together the best trips.  I agree with Scott aka CommanderClownfish, Roatan would be a fabulous place to get your feet wet again!!  It's beautiful, the diving is awesome and there will be lots of fun people on that trip.  The Cozy trip would also be a great starter trip!!! Hope you get your feet/fins wet soon.
