Hi there! I joined about a month ago and just now getting around to posting a hello. I’ve been certified for about 12 years, but took a few years off and started diving again last summer. I’ll be training for DM out at Clear Springs this summer, but prefer blue water and really like doing live-aboards. I’m looking forward to meeting other divers on SD.com.
Another Dallas diver

Howdy, from one Texan to another. Wlecome aboard. Glad to see you've finally jumped out and introduced yourself. Have fun! I hope you will join us out at Athens on the 21-23! It will be a blast and you will meet many of the SD.com members in person.

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.

Welcome Girl!!!
I'm sooooo glad you decided to post an intro...I feel I know you with all the pm's but I shouldn't be the only lucky one to get to know you YEA!!!
Glad you joined us and BETTER YET...decided to come out of the background and say hello! I promise it only hurts once...now you are out...it is only fun from here on it!!!
Well you certainly have met the right group of people to have fun with! We have some awesome trips planned to blue water all over the world and will soon have some official trips to the PNW...CA...NY/NJ...FL area too! As you know since Texas is my playground...I get to test new ideas here and then we'll take them nationwide! Please jump in and help if you like...we certainly can use the help and I'm glad I'll get to meet you at our Athens event! PLEASE invite any other single or buddyless divers you know...we just found out that we will have scooters and underwater digital cameras to play with not to mention some of the best Texas BBQ bar none cooked all day at the park!!!
As you have seen we are playful on the board...perhaps a bit too much sometimes but we all just want to have a good time with ALL aspects of our favorite sport which includes the Surface Intervals too! Please jump right in and make yourself at home...and we'd love your feedback on our website as well as our board. We have implemented almost every suggestion or feedback we've gotten from our members so keep 'em coming!!!
I'm thrilled you might be joining us in Athens even if only Friday night only and I hope to see you on more trips soon! You'll see that we emphasize trips because that's what we do here....1. Have FUN...2. Go DIVING with other FUN people...3. Have FUN when we aren't diving by hanging out on the Surface Interval!! Notice a trend???
Welcome aboard and we just SOLD OUT for Bonaire but if you know anyone else who wants to join us for the 4th of July in my beloved North Carolina!!! Can you imagine 85 degree warm water wreckdiving on German U-Boats and WWI and WWII wrecks!!! Gosh I love this sport!!! -
