Baby in the Water...

Post by 25%Blonde »

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 :violent1: :) 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 :kissing:

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!

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! :rofl:

Love your avatar, by the way....it probably won't be long before you're sporting a pair of doubles, too!

Once again....WELCOME! :clap:

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!


... so far ... :stick:

Welcome Jen - It will be great having you around...

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......
