  • Every dive is optional. Every ascent is mandatory.

James,

Welcome aboard mate. I'm so glad to see more Mississippi joining. We are slowly but surely growing, with that, more dive buddies!

What kind of gear do you have? http://www.msscuba.com/forum/index.php/board,5.0.html

Tell us a little more about yourself.

Hi Eric,
 
Matt (mcc2318) and I are here in Biloxi also. Daniel (dragon26) is in Vancleave. Robert (hoobascooba) is in Pascagoula. DeWayne (degray) is in Waveland. There is usually one or more of us ready to dive somewhere. In fact, I'm tossing around the idea of going next weekend, the 21st (got other commitments this weekend).
 
What shop did you certify through? Sports Unlimited ,The Dive Shop, or Round Island?
Certs: NAUI AOW, IANTD Nitrox, SSI DiveCon

Hey, My wife is leaving the 20th to go to London for a week. I could be interested in diving on the 21st. Let me know if you guy's put something together. By the way, welcome to the board Eric.

Where are you in SD? I was born in Belle Fourche. Not sure of any diving spots around there. ;)

Very cool. I used to live in Fort Pierre.. right next to the horse race track. (the same road you had to get to it... about 5 houses away.) I was only about 8 or so but, I remember that big hill up the road where they had that horse race down that huge hill and had to cross the river. :)

I remember, it's North above Pierre, right? I never went swimming there cause I was afraid of thew Northern Pike. hahah My step-dad at that time told me about how "vicious" they were. :(
