Hey ladies- Im wondering how much I should get my hopes up in the way of actually meeting a dive buddy on this site? Has anyone in the southern california area hooked up with a good person or group of people on this site? Any tips/advise/warnings? Thanks!!

I`m the owner of the site, and I can tell you that many, many people have met new buddies and dove together after meeting on divebuddy.com. My recommendation would be to chat for a bit, then talk on the phone once or twice, then meet in a public place before you trust your life with anyone underwater. Good luck!

I can vouch for Greg`s opinion. I met a gal 6 hours away and we meet up inbetween and dive together. We only wish we lived closer to each other. It could happen some day .... But so far, nice people here and a nice sight. ...jOHN

Have yet to meet new folks on the site, but those I`ve met through other means I have led to the site. Just be patient on finding a buddy.

See Greg, we SHOULD have started the "rent-a-buddy" program! Just kidding.

I`d dive with ya`, but the 16 hour drive is a stretch.

If you`re ever in Florida, you can always look me and my dive club up -- all we need is a puddle and we`ll dive ;)

I haven`t had much luck hooking up with anyone local thru this site - but maybe you`ll have better luck finding someone in CA. If you like, I`ll come out to CA and dive with you next long weekend that comes up. :)

I met a guy at the other side of the world here! We met in real life and are diving together now. So I guess that YES, you can get to know new people here. I guess it is a bit up to you also. You have to interact with poeple if you want to see them.

This is just a man`s perspective... The people of person you meet will usually mimic your character, filling in the empty voids that make one whole... You can meet them on this site or everywhere... Don`t buy the myth that there are no good men left... it`s the woman that makes us good and even better!!! I and my wife are the proof! Be Careful... Dive Well Maurice

Usually mimic your character? Boy, that`s a scary thought!!
