There’s a few of us that try and get out to some of the fresh water sites, maybe you’d like to try it some time? Not opposed at all to a good ocean dive, but prefer to do a simple dive first, as I usually try to avoid "babysitter" boats. Don’t mind diving with newer divers, but expect honesty in dive experience, will not knowingly dive beyond a buddies "comfort zone", and expect adherence to site safety regulations (like no-light rules and stopping @ Grimm Reaper in sites with caves).
