It's not sports news or anything, but I'm pretty excited! Finished my open water yesterday, got my card today! Really looking forward to getting some more dives in (I can tell I'll need a bunch more practice).
Anyone else here scuba dive?

Congrats! Where did you do it? I've been diving since ... forever ;-) but i'm about to get my rescue diver and divemaster certification. Wish me luck! Oh and i hope we get a diving community... does anyone feel like creating one?
Oh that's exciting! I do plan to take the rescue course at some point I definitely want more practice with the basics first.
I'm not particularly near any oceans or big lakes or anything, so the checkout dives were up at a nearby(ish) quarry that's been converted into a dive site. I believe it's max depth is like 45 or 50 ft (14 or 15 m), but we didn't go deeper than 20 ft (6 m). Lots of friendly freshwater fish since they don't let people catch them there, and some cool sunken objects to go have a look at (it was pretty cool to see an airplane underwater).
