Welcome. I am available to dive on Mondays.
Only way to get rid of your Newbie status is to get out and get diving.

I used my snorkle for years.... Let me rephrase that.... I had my snorkle attatched to my mask for years. I was taught that I needed it. I never used it....but kept it on my mask as instructed. I decided to remove it finally and have not reattatched it. My fabulous pup ~ the evil Breezilla ~ eat it ...
