Howdy from Montana

Post by yodelhawk »

Hello one and all!
I'm a new diver (9 dives) and am itching to get out there and get wet. One of your members referred me from the SB forum. I'm hoping to make a long weekend trip to the Puget Sound area within the next couple of months and hope to gain lots of knowledge and input from all of you. Thanks for looking

Welcome, yodelhawk! Glad you came over here. (This is TSandM from SB.) This is definitely a great place to get information about diving in our area, and also to find dive buddies for your trip.

If you haven't wandered around here a bit, check out this long-running thread about what you can see here: http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2043

Be sure to let us know when you are heading our way!

Welcome! Are you the same person that I was telling about different shops in the area? I think you might have been looking at my pics on Scuba Board.

Hello again. I believe you are right. I have been a little under the weather and have spent a lot of time on line on 3 different forums. All the pics I have seen from different divers have been great. I hope that I will become a good enough diver some day to take a camara with me. As for now I'm going to focus on seeing the underwater world and not getting into trouble by being distracted. Thanks for saying hi.

Hello DB. We are in Great Falls, pretty much right in the middle of the state. Where abouts are you from? You ever miss the Big Sky Country?

Hello TN. Yes, we go diving in the local lakes and even in some of the rivers,although I myself have not gotten into the Missouri yet. I found a local dive club and am told that they go out quite often in the warmer weather. Man I hope so! I'm itching too go! Thanks for saying "hi"

I grew up in Plentywood. It's so far out in the middle of nowhere that even most people from MT have not even heard of it, let alone been there! What I miss the most is not being closer to my family. Don't miss the below zero temps and the wind at all! Bob

DB, wow! Plentywood! That is almost over in ND! I have been there a couple of times. I'm a medic and work on a flight service out of Great Falls. Every once in a while we get called out there. Usually in the middle of the night, hehe. BTW, as I'm writing this the old temp says -8. Stay warm!!!
