I got my certification Yesterday and went for my first non Course dive. I spent all weekend at Vortex Springs Florida. We did all skills, nitrox dives, and a leisure stroll dive. I got certified and my buddy and I were the only two from our entire group to opt for our first dive without instructors. Everything went great, shot a little bit of Gopro footage and explored the springs. Now I’m ready for more dives. I have a lofty of goal of 50 dives this year so if anyone is going to be diving anywhere near Chattanooga, drop me a line.

If you’re willing to drive North I’m in Nashville and do a lot of quarry diving in this area. I’ll also try to keep you posted on our trips down to Florida in case you’re free to come along.

Welcome to the fold. As they say in some of my other hobbies, open your wallet. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it seems that it always is for me.

Enjoy your new hobby and most of all. Stay wet.
