Hello from South Florida

[pafindr]

Hello fellow divers!!
I started diving in 1992 and dove on a regular basis until I moved to Michigan in Dec 1996. Once I got to MI I stopped diving because I didn't have a job thus zero money. When I finally did have the money I didn't have the time :( Working 70+ hours sucked.
Now I'm back in FL and am going to start diving again once I can buy some equipment.
I have my trusty Zeagle BCD, Dacor mask, a Genesis steel 80 that needs hydro. I need to buy fins and a reg.
I'm hoping to learn and relearn a few things here and I hope to see few of you out there.

A little about my certifications;
I got all the way to PADI Divemaster plus a few certifications.
Cavern Diver (both PADI and NCIC)
Cave Diver (NACD)
Nitrox Diver (IANTD)
Technical Deep Air Diver (IANTD)
Technical EANx Diver (IANTD)
Trimix Diver (IANTD)

I also qualified in a few other certification but since I didn't have the money I didn't send for the cards.
Equipment Specialist
Deep Diver
Underwater Hunter
Underwater Naturalist
Night Diver

Underwater Photographer
Drift Diver
Wreck Diver
Search and Recovery

Glad to have you here, we are a great group and really enjoy having more members. I often dive off of the Palm Beach to Miami area which is amazing. I don't know if that is your dive area or not, let me know.

Welcome to the SMN Community. You can't go wrong with a Zeagle BC!

Mine is going on 20 some years and still is holding up well the rare times I use it.

Thanks gentlemen for the welcome.

I'm now in Miami but most of my diving was in Fort Lauderdale area.
Jim Atria, Tenneco Towers, The Capt. Dan, reefs, and a lot of student dives from the beach :)
In Miami I dove the Spirit of Miami when it was in one piece. My buddy was one of the videographers that went down with it when they sunk it. I was going to be his backup but had to work my regular job :(
There were a couple of other wrecks that I've done but can't remember them :eek:

Yeah I love my Zeagle. It used to be blue and black but the blue has faded to almost white in some spots :)
It's gotten me through everything from recreational dives with students to carrying doubles and ponies under each arm in caves and wrecks.

Nice..the Capt. Dan is one of my favorite dives in the area. Next time I am down there to do some diving, I will drop you an email so we can get together for a dive and some lunch.
