I hope everyone is doing well,
I am Scott, and as you can probably guess, I am new around here
I have been interested in the ocean and 'playing' in it for quite some time, which was certainly helped by growing up in Florida.
I joined the US Navy at 17, and bobbed around for a bit, but never went any farther than Puerto Rico though =( I started out as a fireman/electrician, and then became a Hospital Corpsman. While I was in I managed to earn an Associates in Computer and Electronic Technologies. I left active duty in July 2004, and still have a few years of inactive reserve. I am currently back in college studying Photography and Digital Imaging.
In September of 2005 I finally took the plunge and got PADI OW certified at Adventure Diving on the outskirts of Bristol Virginia/Tennessee. As soon as the dive shop gets back from Cozumel, I am going to see when the next AOW and Rescue Diver classes are.
I am in the process of deciding what equipment I will buy to support this expensive hobby/lifestyle I have chosen to endeavor in. Which is part of the reason why I have joined, rather than just lurking.. so I can bug you all with my frivolous questions
I think that should do for an introduction,
Take care everyone,
Scott
