Hi everyone, saw this URL in DannyDon's signature on another scuba board, and figured I'd check it out. It seems like the perfect community. Looking forward to some great diving with great new friends.

:cool2:

update: i just found out about the Bonaire trip ... I am going to try and make my way out there for a couple days (6/17 - 6/20) if possible

Welcome! As a new member (yesterday) I'm honoured to be the first to say it - but I guess nobody else is awake yet!

You are such an early riser, darlin'.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Well, lets see .. I'm 26, a computer consultant. Have a house in Cleveland, but am barely there. My job requires me travel Mon-Thu to client sites around the world, and then on the weekends, as opposed to flying home, I use the travel allowance to fly to more exciting places (which is why diving is such a perfect fit for my lifestyle).

Speaking of diving, I started diving this february in cozumel ... my first OW dive was a 85 foot dive in the palancar deep reefs, over the next few days, I did a couple more shallower dives between 40-65 feet at the various other palancar sites. After those dives, I got hooked. I came back to cleveland, got my OW certification completed and am heading out to San Diego/LA in 2 weeks to take in some more dives.

Hi nabster!

Welcome to SD! Sounds like you'll have plenty of opportunities to dive all over the world!

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!! It comes bundled with the software.

What do you mean "it doesn't come in PINK"?!?!

Darlin',

I've known Den online for about 6 - 7 (late '97 - early 98) years. I first dived with her 5 years (June 99 in Key Largo) ago. Our last dive together was December 31, 2003 - January 1, 2004 (Deerfield Beach) for our annual "Bring in the New Year the Right Way - Underwater" dive. I was teasing my little British buddy. BTW, she's a sweetheart, you're gonna love her!
