Hello everyone.

I'm new to this group as of yesterday and it looks like a fun bunch B)

Yes I live in the Great White North, where any day that you don't have to cut a hole to get at the water is a good day.

I was first Open Water Certified thru the Riyadh Desert Dolphins (Saudi Arabia) BSAC Branch in '97. But once I returned home ...well there's not a lot of diving out here on the Canadian Prairies and after a 6 year dry spell I returned to the salt in September of last year. A few weeks ago I completed my PADI AOW and Nitrox certs.

I am a respiratory therapist by profession. What better training could I have to pursue the more important things in life? (That would be diving of course) :twist:

Look forward to chatting, learning, debating with you all.
Brian

Welcome Brain
I'm glad to be the first to say Hi to you. My family members came from Canada many moons ago on my fathers side of the family I think they where WWW before there was such a thing as Scuba Diving. I'm glad to hear your advancing in Scuba.
I think there is as many canuk's as US diver's here now!!!

Happy Bubble's to you :twist:

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.

Brian. Glad you could join us. I am looking forward to getting to know you and the possibility of diving with you in the near future.
