I found this board on a google search during my lunchtime so I wanted to say hello now.
My name is alex. I was certified in may of 05. I only had 4 dives in the 3 months following and they were only to about 35 feet. All my dives were in local lakes, so experience in the ocean, I seriously lack. Last weekend I completed my refresher course to find out how much I had forgotten... it's like riding a bike. I currently don't have a dive buddy so going diving is hard to do at times.
I am going to Cozumel in a couple of weeks for my birthday and don't really know what to expect. I am very excited and can't wait to go.
I joined the board more for knowledge rather than what I can give. Maybe in the future I can help someone else out, as for now any and all help and advise is greatly appreciated.
In the future I will continue my diver education and continue to climb the ladder. Don't know how far at this time.
If all goes well in Cozumel, I plan to go and dive with Great Whites in Sept/Oct off the coast of San Franscisco, in a cage of course!!! Hopefully after that I will be able to see alot of other places. I don't really get to go too many places so I try to make the best of my trips.
One question I do have... Since I am unsure if my travel to Cozumel will be with someone or alone, do I have to have a dive buddy to go on dives with a group or do they stay in a "pack"? I don't know how this works. I don't want to go down there and have to sit on a beach. I wanna dive.... and eat of course. It's always about the food.
