Nope, I took my dive class like 3 years ago and never got to dive since I was living up in South Carolina. I am taking my refresher course tomorrow and Thursday and will be up for diving after that. If you want to go to some places that are good for a newbie that would probably be best until I get some experience.

Just came across your post. I’m in pensacola and just got my certification. Have you found people to go diving with because I’m also looking for a dive buddy?

I have found a few people to dive with at Hurlburt dive shop. I just finished my advanced open water certification. I am looking after my daughter (10 mo.) but am free to dive some weekends (when the wife will let me). I do have some family coming into town that can watch my daughter some so that might free me up more during the week. The main thing is finding a boat. Eglin air-force base has a boat that their dive people go out on about every other weekend for various trips/certifications and you can get on that boat for around 70-120 dollars depending on number of people and where they are going. Just let me know when you want to dive and we can try to work something out.

I was hoping to go diving this weekend and next weekend if I can find anyone interested. Then June 9-10 I’m planning to take the adv. open water class. Weekends are really the only days I’m free. Let me know if you want to go.

I’m afraid I don’t know anyone with a boat. There are some shore dives that I’d like to do though, like vortex or morrison springs. Or go to fort pickens where I did my certification dives.

I am good for sometime next weekend. I am working on finding a boat. If not the springs is an option. Its just so far to the springs, I would rather go around here so it doesn’t take the whole day.

I heard Dr. Dive is still running charters, so that’s also an option unless he’s already booked full.

Sounds good. I’ll look into it. My cousin might be coming down this weekend and just needs to dive in salt water to finish his open water certification. I am also going to check with Eglin AFB and see if they are going out. I dove with them last weekend and it was good. Price is around 70-80 dollars.
