Hello there!

***schford*** · 11th February 2005, 15:24

Well I suppose as I emailed everyone I should say hi!

I'm Stuart aka schford, and am waiting for my Megalodon I go out to Washington to pick it up on the 25th MArch.

I have also dived the Dolphin and the Ray, which I love for their simplicity....

My favourite type of diving is Wreck here in the UK we have great Wreck diving, but I do confess to loving warmer seas!!

I also want to try Cave diving so if any one fancies inviting me some time!!

I work on the weekends some time teaching and DMing when needed at Wraysbury Dive centre...www.wraysbury.ws

Look forward to diving with you all (if only virtually!)!

***caveseeker7*** · 11th February 2005, 16:03

as Stuart asked me help him moderate his new site I'll introduce myself, too.

My name is Stefan, I live in Southern California, and work (more or less) as a photographer. I'm slated for a Prism sometime this summer.

***Decodiver*** · 11th February 2005, 18:57

Likewise as Caveseeker I have been asked to be a Moderator.

I am based between Brighton, England and Brittany in France.

I am a Megalodon and Evolution owner and having been diving RBs since 1989.

I teach all levels of technical and CCR diving.

Cheers

Dave Cooper

Dave is being modest - he also leads serious expeditions - how deep was that last one 125 metres?

With a little girl expected for June, no great expeditions this year, but 2006 is already looking very interesting....................................... ...............................

Whatever the gender, they'll both be starting CCR diving around the same time

Let us know when the little one arrives Pierre and we can have a drink over here for you.

As Stuart said it would be good to come to Malta and do some diving.

Maybe I could come over and do your Gas ticket on the Inspiration when you are ready?

Take care

Dave

Guess I'd best introduce myself then.

Beanie, Stuart asked me help him moderate aswell

I dive a nicely bright Inspiration

I'm Simon, (a.k.a Padowan) I live in Kent in the UK, but work most of the week at the moment near Barcelona in Spain. Have been diving a YBOD for about 6 months and am particularly into wreck diving. Looking forward to this place taking off - I could talk about CCRs all day...

Enjoy beer in what other spare time I have...

Mdemon · 15th February 2005, 10:04

My turn I guess.

Total newbie to the Box. A fair bit of OC. Some homebuilding...

I enjoy the fettling as much as the diving - which is just as well given the crap viz we've had lately...

Might be interesting to watch my opinions change over time as I gain more experience. Right now, with less than 50 hours, I'm still delighted with it.

My plan so far:

Get the hardware for the dives I'm planning in the future
Learn to dive it while still on the shallower stuff
Identify the risks for myself and mitigate them through drills and additional hardware. I am an anti-Alpiniste at heart - I will carry the kitchen sink if I think it needs to be carried!

I'm looking forward to this year especially. I think the beginning of anything new is when you see the greatest gains...

Haven't been asked to be a Mod yet... Feeling very left out...
