Hi everyone! New to the board, been diving for about a year now. Heard about you from one of my non-single diver buddies, who I guess is tired of me being a "Single" diver Anyway, I love the sport, have about 60 dives under my belt already, and am looking to go instructor as soon as I can. Looking forward to meeting all of you, and joining you on some trips as soon as possible! If you're interested, check out our site - www.redreefscuba.com and say hello over there.

Hey Jeff! Welcome aboard! Glad your friend sent you to us. Funny that s/he knows about us but isn't hanging out here. Guess that means this place is getting well known. Cool!
So are you a fan of the Renaissance painter or the martial artist turtle? Or something else altogether?

What would Patton do...? 
Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset.
Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.

Hey Jeff! Glad you're here. How'd you choose your screenname, by the way? Is it turtle or literature related?

Likewise welcome to this wild and crazy (and therefore fun) board!
With all these fine Texan divers on board, I just may have to give Flower Gardens a try. Actually one of my buddies worked for FGNMS for a while last year and gave me glowing reports. She's safely back home in California now trying to make babies (with her hubby) so we don't get to dive for a while.

Dr. B....whom might that have been. I know most of the guys/gals that work for the Sanctuary. You really do need to get out here to the Gardens. It is some beautiful diving.

Hi there; Wench here!
I did check out your site and it looks like you have a similar idea to us...although it looks like you've focused on all divers and not just single ones. Good luck with your venture and maybe we can do some fun stuff together in the future. (I'll post a hello on your site as well if that's ok!)
Welcome to the most fun you can have without getting wet!!! And yes we do focus on getting WET...unlike a number of sites out there!!! In fact we have a number of trips planned for this year with more coming and we are working on a KILLER 2005/2006 calendar! (In fact we have a few spots left for Bonaire June 13-20 and about 12 spots left for 4th of July in NC diving on warm water U-Boats and WWI and WWII wrecks!) We've been on national radio as well as published in 3 national magazines...not bad for just right at 2 months!
We'll have a booth at SeaSpace so being so close maybe you can stop by and/or lend a hand! (Several of us are celebrating our b-days myself included so it will be a party that is for sure!!!)
Jump in and make yourself at home....make new friends...join us on a dive trip and tell all your single or buddyless friends to come and check out the fun!!

Welcome to the asylum!! We're all a little crazy here! Hope you can join us on our May 21-23 party at Athens Scuba Park. Diving, food, diving, singles, diving, beer, diving, camping out, and did I mention diving? Have fun on the board.
