Howdy!

Post by Penopolypants »

Hello all!

Longtime lurker here. All of you here crack me up, so I figured I would hop in and join the fun.

My sister and I certified together about a year and a half ago, and were immediately hooked! Well, almost immediately…..our first dive really sucked, the second (and subsequent dives) were nothing short of awesome. :supz:

She was fortunate enough to win a diving trip to Papua New Guinea, and I was fortunate enough to be her dive buddy, so I got to spend a glorious week diving in pristine warm waters.

I thought it would be hard to come back to the PNW after that, but I truly love diving here.

Prior to the trip, we were lucky enough that Grateful Diver was able to squeeze us into his AOW class. The class was incredible, and Bob has been a fantastic and patient dive buddy ever since.

However, my sister followed her heart and moved to LA, my other dive buddy just isn’t as into it anymore, and Bob can’t dive with me all the time, so….I need buddies!

It seems like some of you might like to dive every once and while. Truth, or terrible lies? :)

Meep! Meep! That was my feeble attempt at typing a sound made by one of your avatar characters ... I think. Been a long time since I've seen any of those shows. Welcome, now let's go dive. We'll be at 3 tree north tomorrow. How about you?

Meep!

Thanks everybody! What's not to love about all the Muppets, especially Beaker. :)

So there's a dive tomorrow at 3 tree, eh? Excellent! I could do that.

Welcome to the club Penelope!

It was a pleasure diving with you at Three Tree, Hope you had a good time!

You are welcome to dive with me anytime! =D>


Keep an eye on the Dive Report/ Plan section and you should be able to dive almost as much as you want!


Later, Keith.

Penelope...

Welcome to the Board.

Would love to dive with you at some point...usually available at least one day per week... but often, that's a weekday.

Happy Diving!!
