Hello from Columbus
« on: November 13, 2008, 10:52:55 PM »
Hello everyone. I am new to diving, I just got certified about 2 weeks ago. I go to the Mississippi University for Women and took the class there. I have always wanted to go diving and now that I have done it I am hooked forever. So I just wanted to introduce myself.

  • Most problems in diving originate with ourselves.

Welcome! Glad you FINALLY made in on board. :)

Aslo, congrats on getting certified. Now just dive a LOT within your experience level and ENJOY the dives. Don't rush into AOW, Search and Rescue. or any others. Get proficient with your buoyancy and trim. You might benefit from a Peak Performance Buoyancy class, spending on the instructor. I wish I could've had one early on.

If you need anything, please feel free to PM me and I'll try to help.

  • Every dive is optional. Every ascent is mandatory.

Hello Jason Welcome to the Board!
Its better to keep your mouth shut and be perceived as an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt!
