Baby in the Water...
Hi...
Baby in the water here...and a new member as well. i have been told since getting my Open Water Cert. that i need to join Northwest Dive Club, more like harassed but i'm glad i did...pretty cool to go through and read posts about dives i have heard about.
dive training started for me almost six years ago when i met my boyfriend, BigSky. Every dive was so cool, not just the big ship wrecks, but also the little insignificant ones...by the way, i met him when he was sporting a single tank, a wanna-be tech diver, now a meg man.
so, last christmas i put "dive lessons from Ron Akeson" at the top of my list and that's what i got.
i didn't know if i was going to enjoy it....problems with gear, buoyancy, etc....until i had one AWESOME dive that made it all worth while and made me want to continue. it was so exciting to enter a whole different world while doing something special with my man
that's it...now i'm hooked! but i'm a little blonde when it comes to dive lingo (not to mention i still feel like i shouldn't be talking like a diver) so bear with me. i'm still a crawler, (although buoyancy is getting better) a baby to this new hobby!

Re: Baby in the Water...
Welcome to NWDC, Jen!!!!!
Bigsky has a bit of a....you know...."reputation" around here as a hard-nosed rabble-rouser. Perhaps you can assist us by keeping his behavior a bit more on the "gen-teeel" side!
Love your avatar, by the way....it probably won't be long before you're sporting a pair of doubles, too!
Once again....WELCOME!

Welcome! I'm a relative newbie, too, and also brought to it by "the boyfriend" avenue. I anticipate that you'll enjoy the banter and the diving with the NWDC crowd - everyone here has been awesome!

Re: Baby in the Water...
Thanks John!
getting good enough to sport doubles would be GREAT! wreck divin' is a goal...you think i could get there in 3 years?
my lil' BigSky has a reputation? that's out of the question...he's such a sweet boy, NEVER in any trouble what-so-ever!
do you have any suggestions on how i can keep him *eh-hmm* manageable?

Although, sheesh, you need to knock off the mushy stuff. I don't know if these big tough tech divers can handle it.

Welcome, Jen! Can you get bigsky to stop sniffing my undergarment before the dive? It's really starting to creep me out, the way he moans while his eyes roll back in his head......
