No, you most certainly will not have the same experience here on SD! We welcome all buddyless divers regardless of their relationship or marital status! We are an equal opportunity diving "singles" site!

Totally true! I have absolutely no desire to date cmt489 (blonde, wrong gender...etc. :P), but we dive together and have become the greatest of friends! :P


WHAT?!?!? You don't want to date me? I'm crushed - I feel so misled.... :unsure:

:D :lmao:

Here is the complete message - Egyptian connectivity failed during my last...

One sunny non-diving week-end, I pulled back my curtains (drapes)...




So inspired by my view .... whilst yearning to be underwater :D .... I decided I wanted to build a monumental dive log. I went online to seek means of finding prospective accomplices in this mission, and hey presto - found SD - via Scuba Board. "Ham de al'lah" as they say in these parts....

I'm not sure how I actually got here. Am I in an episode of the Twilight Zone? All I know is I woke up one day and had a link to this website called Singledivers.com on my laptop. Ever since then I have been finding myself in different surreal places so that I'm not really sure if I was ever really there. But there are pictures so I must have been there. Is this a conundrum or what. I mean did Egypt really happen or was going backwards down a tunnel in ski position to enter a pyramid just a figment of my imagination?
Wow what a site!!!
Never say Never! Its almost as long a time as always!

I was at BTS this past year, trying to drown my sorrows by booking a dive trip to Bonaire. A little more than a year before I had met my soul mate, the only problem was she lived in Sweden,(and no soul), so I was about to move, and in the process I might have to give up diving for good. That relationship didn't work out.

So here I was with my usual buddy, we had airfare but no hotel, and the trip was in about 3 weeks. We had a list of Bonaire resorts to check out, but the show was a bust. We settled for the one resort that wasn't at BTS. On the plus side I met Rodney Fox, and ran into the SD booth, which my buddy insisted I stop at being newly single. There was a lot of "we're not a dating site" claims, which was a bummer as the booth girls were hawt!

After Bonaire I checked out the site, saw a write up on Cooper River, met some people I saw posting on here, and jinxed the Cozumel trip! :cheerleader: The girls here are still hawt, but I am no longer really "single". Hopefully I can get my so to start diving. She wants to, but is a little scared. Im working on her...

So, I was in a public restroom and there was a man outside walking around in a peculiar fashion, then went into the stall next to me and was tapping his foot and making strange hand signals under the stall.... oops wrong story. :P I learned of this site through a couple other forums as well as my cousin and dive buddy telling me to go and check it out. I have been somewhat behind the scenes for a while, one of the ghosts of SD. I have really enjoyed this sight and have decided to participate a little more...God help you all!!! :P But that is how I got LUCKY!!

I saw it on Divewire - a thing about a Singles Dive Week in Grenada. Hmmm. I'm single, I desperately needed a vacation, well, the rest is history. You guys are stuck with me. :P
As for me, I'm feeling pretty scubalicious.
