Hi,
I am German and live in the Washington D.C. area for 11 years. I enjoy living and working in this area and recharge my energy with daily runs and working out in the gym. After I got SCUBA certified on Grand Cayman in 2001, diving became my passion. I went on another dive trip to Grand Cayman and four trips to Bonaire. On my last trip to Bonaire in February 04, I logged in dive # 100, and I got NITROX certified. I love Bonaire and plan to return in September.
In addition to my dive trips to Bonaire I am interested in going on dive trips to other destinations with your group. Belize is on top of my list.
I am looking forward to meet new people.
Doris

Another beautiful diving diva is added to our already impressive group, and from Germany via the East Coast this time. Welcome to this wild and wonderful board. Hope you enjoy the comraderie here and meet a number of divers who will become dive buddies and friends.
I spent two months in Belize earlier this year. Diving was definitely great. Haven't been to Bonaire yet, but I have dive friends who lived there and loved the waters. It is on my list for the future. Have you done any diving in the Med?
Where in Germany are you from? My father's family came from a small village (Huddesdorf beim Stolzenau uber Weser, sorry... no umlauts) in northwestern Germany which I visited quite some time ago.

Hallo Doris! Willkommen zu unserem glücklichen Haus. Sorry, German is very rusty these days. Hope to see you in the water sometime on a SD trip. Meanwhile, dive in and get to know everyone.
How do you say 'dive' in the scuba sense auf Deutsch?

Howdy Doris!
Welcome to the fun bunch!
I'll never forget my #100 dive - on the U352 off of North Carolina, in my first trip with the WreckWench. Hope to hit #200 on the Belive Blue Hole in 2 weeks.

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.

Hello Doris ...
Welcome to SD. I too was in Bonaire some time ago and I loved it. I loved the ease of shore diving. All their dive sites are just incredible. I especially enjoyed the Hilma Hooker. It was awesome!! We dove Karpata, 1000 steps, the pier at night, and on, and on....
I regret that I can't go with this group when then visit Bonaire.. but maybe I can make it on their next trip.
We dove with a shop called Wannadive Bonaire. They were fantastic. I enjoyed their attention to detail how they went out of their way to make our diving as pleasureable as possible. They gave us a special rate for the unlimited shorediving and we had access to their tanks anytime of the day or night.
I enjoyed it so much that I use their name in my email address.
I can't wait to go back again.
This is a great group of divers !!!! you will enjoy it.
