Hello all,
I have been on the GBR for a couple of discovery dives and that inspired me to get my Open Water Cert, but after getting my OWC, I couldn't find a buddy (my wife washed out of class) and haven't been down for probably five years. I have done a couple of Alki and a couple of Edmonds, but it has been some time.
I am extremely comfortable diving and really want to get back in. I found this forum and have to say I am quite excited.
I travel 6 to 8 months out of the year, and obviously have to pay strict attention to flying/diving safely, but would love to join you all on a Thursday dive or maybe someone wouldn't mind doing Edmonds for a couple of dives to make sure my head is on correct?
I will be back later this month and need a couple of safety days, but I will watch and the Thursday posts and hope you will maybe let me tag along for a couple of dives. Obviously, I am only 50' at this point. I would love to expand my experience once I get comfy.

Welcome to the board! As you noted, we have dives Thursdays and Wednesdays at different locations in the sound. Watch for the postings in the dive planning thread and join in!

Welcome Mike!
One note... our weeknight dives are now night dives. You may want to take a few daytime refreshers before heading out on a night dive. Also, be sure to have a night dive cert and a good light!
You're gonna love it!

Re: Still Green
Yes, I was just looking around as much as I can on the internet from the middle of the Gulf of Mexico for a Refresher that will be scheduled within the last two weeks of October. I am also planning on getting my regulator and BC serviced as I should. I want to get a few dives under my belt and then go for advanced. Look forward to meeting some of you.
