New Diver

Post by Bobsessive »

This goes against my confirmed lurker tendencies, but here goes.
I'm a new diver in the midsound area, having been recently certified by Grateful Diver. My wife and I got certified together, so we're noobie buddies, but we'd welcome the chance to dive with other folks. There's always something new to learn, and with a grand total of 10 dives under our belts, it seems we learn something new, however small, each dive. (Last week's lesson: Make sure your rental reg has a drysuit hose on BOTH reg sets......)
We're in the process of assembling full, mostly used, gear, and hope to be geared up by the next Big Buddy day.

Looking forward to learning more and seeing some of you around and under the sound.

Bob

Welcome Bob,
In my opinion you have chosen a wonderful way to hang out with the wife, while exploring and learning new things. I hope to be able to dive with ya sometime!

I think you'll all get to meet Bob and Kirsten at the club dive ... and agree that they're fun folks to hang with ... they'll fit right in with this crowd ...

Let us know when you've got your gear together, so we can start getting you out on dives. Of course, if you can make it up to the Monday night dives at Mukilteo, please do!
