Hello everyone newbies here

The wife and i recently got certified in February after a snorkel/ snuba trip to roatan, and it went down hill from there quick

We were like ehhh we will dive once or twice a year when we go on vacation
YEAH OK

Since then we are now AOW and are working towards our diver master certs.

I’m an extensive world traveler having been to most every major continent except Canada. Too cold.

In our short time as divers we have hit almost every local dive spot and have been able to dive Phuket Thailand, did some wreck dives in Pensacola Fl, we dove an active volcano/ fresh water crater lake in San Salvador El Salvador and an amazing dive recently in the Florida keys.

We are headed to dive Cozumel in November and back to Thailand to dive koh samui in March.

Look forward to meeting every one maybe soon as we are looking to always have dive peeps.

Chepo and my wife Stytch

Hi ElChepo
I lived and worked as a dive master and instructor in Cozumel. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Don't leave Cozumel without diving Yucab, it's such an amazing reef to explore and keep an eye out for the splendid toadfish.

Hi all! New Houston area diver in the Cypress area. Relocated a few months ago and unfortunately been dry for the last 2 years due to relocation and crazy work schedules.

Now that I'm getting settled in, looking for opportunities to get out diving regularly again - any groups going out on the weekends from Houston?

My experience in a nutshell:
- approx. 200 dives in mostly cold water, low-viz conditions (Seattle, San Diego, Great Lakes/quarries in Midwest)
- experience with shore, boat, and liveaboard dives
- 75-100 drysuit dives
- ~30-50 doubles dives
- Avid photography diver
- Relevant certs: PADI Rescue, Nitrox, GUE Fundamentals-Tech Pass

Need some dives to knock the cobwebs off but otherwise willing to get in the water with just about anyone. Still have aspirations to continue down the tech path (regardless of certifying agency).

Look forward to getting to know more of yall!

Welcome @bravokiloromeo. You've found the right place for sure. Poke around our site and be sure to look at the Dive Buddy posts to see who's going where when. And if you want to go somewhere, post it there so buddies can find you.
