Looking for buddies...
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2020 1:07 pm
Hello...
Just introduced myself so this may be redundant.
I'm really happy to have found this site. Being new to the community and a solo diver (friends and family don't dive), I'm trying to get into the dive community but it has been more difficult than I expected.
OW certified Aug 2020, including nitrox (and I learned in a drysuit).
AOW certified in Cancun in March 2020.
Was scheduled for GUE Fundies in April but C19 put our course on hold.
~40+ dives to date, all but 7 have been in the PNW.
I'm not great at navigation (yet) so prefer diving with someone that knows the location or at sites that are fairly simple (Dondo, etc.).
I really am flexible on what type of dives and where... I just like being in the water. I'm comfortable to 100 ft. with a diver that's more experienced than I am and have been to 145 (in a Cenote).
I'm comfortable with night/crap vis dives and just make sure to stay close to my buddy. I'm happy to drive to a site (Sund Rock, Keystone, etc.) or dive local.
I just invested in a camera set up so want to start using it, but don't need to if it doesn't work with the dive plan.
Like a lot of the world, I've been WFH over the last few months. My schedule is pretty flexible but late afternoon/evenings and weekends are best. I try to always have a tank or two full so I can be ready to go on short notice.
I'm kind and considerate... but still struggling with buddies. :-(
Let me know if you'd like to know more.
