Thank you all.......It was only 4 years ago I donned my first scuba tank in the pool in Duluth.....now over 300 dives later......cumulated months underwater...I have become a dive Pro......

Best thing I ever did......

I may get to do some trips now with the GAI...I am next on the list for Scientific Diver Training and NOAA certifications..

:yes:

are there any unique little places to dive inland around here? or is it just gross?

 

[ericmcj31]

not really-I've been to a couple quarries. One is in white (cartersville), it is cold as a mother-(as are all quarries)-another quarry in Pelham, AL-and another in Athens, TN. They say you can dive Lake Lanier, but I've never dove there. Heck-I'd be up for PCB (but prob. too cold right now)-just to get in some saltwater! I might come over and dive Raj's or James' tanks just to stay in the practice!

Cold is relative.......after diving in 53 degree water for 2 years...anything higher is a sauna to me....

im sure it is but cold is still cold to me. i have dove north carolina and crystal and rainbow river. those were cold

 

[jmaneyapanda]

I was certifiied in Buffalo, and had to make my "test" dive in a quarry in April. I spit on all your guys "cold".

BTW, Congrats Todd. That is quite an accomplishment.
