Hi All,
Just got back from Cozumel and dove for 5 days.  Completed my AOW after not diving for 9 years.  I am back in with both feet and joined to minimize my solo trips!    Already have a return trip to CZM booked in February that is going to overlap the group trip by a couple of days.  After that, I hope to join you for a trip or two!  Moved up to North Texas a year ago.  Looks like I will be doing some freshwater low viz stuff to keep my skills up!
Looking forward to some great trips and new friends!
Dennis

:hiya:  Dennis and   :welcome:  to the wonderful world of Singledivers.com!!  Congrats on getting your AOW, and your diving in Cozy.   It's a great place to dive and getting comfortable in the water.  Kamala and crew put together lots of fun trips to awesome warm water places.  Love your moniker!!  Hope you are on a trip soon.

Hello Dennis and welcome to SingleDivers.  I found this group about 13 years ago, and have made about 30 trips with them over the years.  Like you, I wanted to minimize my solo trips and this is the perfect spot for that.  When you sign up for your first trip, you will fill in a few online forms giving specifics about your rooming preferences such as do you snore, like the temperature warm or cool, go to bed early or late, smoke, etc.  You will fill out a similar form about diving as well.  When you start your vacation, you will be paired up with a similar roommate unless you opted for a single occupancy room, as well as a suggested dive buddy.  In all of the trips that I have made, I have been very happy with the person I have been roomed with almost every time.  They do a great job behind the scenes as well as on the trips.  Maybe we will cross paths on a future trip.  Ed

For sure swing by and meet some of us if you can!  I've lived in TX for many years and my mom is still there... so I know what you mean about lake/quarry diving but hey...its still fun under the right circumstances and some people only get to dive fresh water so there is an entire 'local lake' community...especially in TX you can jump into!

 

We hope you'll consider some of our trips as well...the group REALLY is a blast! But its only as good as its members so come and join us! :wakawaka:

Thanks to all of you!  I will be getting to CZM on Friday, so will only overlap by a night, but am staying just down the street.  I will try to wonder down and say Hi!  I'll keep my eye on the trips.  It would be great to have a scuba group to travel with.

I'm in the process of setting up more trips for 2023 and 2024 NOW so its a perfect time to find us.

Greetings from Tampa Bay, Florida area.

 

Have you dove the missile silo there in Texas ?  It is south of Abilene (or maybe south of Midland, not sure.)   If I was in the area, I would surely try it once.

 I just moved north of Abilene and haven't had the chance.  I looked into it but seems like very limited access.  Probably need to get to know some folks in local dive shops in the Metroplex to find out when a group is going.

That sounds good.  And I will try to "wander" down instead of "wondering " down.  Spell check just can't catch bad grammar :)
