Hello!

[sparkles666]

Hello everyone!

I'm a BSAC Ocean diver with approx 35 dives under my belt - Dorothea, Capernwray, Eccy, Trefor Pier, Angelsey, St Abbs etc but unfortunately nothing in warm water, as yet! I started my training in May and have been out at every opportunity since then, so still a little 'green'! I'm not DIR and doubt I ever will be but equally don't think I'm doing it totally wrong and am safe and competent. I do know a couple of YDers but am hoping to meet more, so if anyone is short of a buddy and would like to meet up that would be great! Have transport, can travel and can usually manage some short notice midweek diving too!

Hi Sparkles666

The name is a little demonic , but I'm sure your realy a gem .

Welcome to YD, hope your time with us is benaficial, I still can't believe people who know existing YDers still join? I thought that would put people off?

Welcome.

I'm sure there's an explaination with the name...as already mentioned, it's a bit scary!

I'm sure the answer will come out eventually (when my time comes, somehow I thing I'll be taking the lift down!)

But welcome anyway, somehow I feel you will fit in just fine!

Keep to the paths....

Hi Sparkles666,

I'm guessing from your dive sites you're a North West diver? If you want to get out then we're doing something most weekends, whether it's training or fun diving. Doesn't matter about being DIR, we cater for everyone - still have people wearing ABLJ's (I'm showing my age!).

Hi Sparkles,

Welcome to YD. If you want dives / buddies, just look and post in the appropriate section - we're a mixed bunch, but we have some laffs

Cheers, Paul

Thank you to everyone for your replies! I suppose it might have helped if I’d filled in my profile – I shall go and do that now! And I promise I’m not completely demonic; I do have a wicked streak but most of the time I’m an absolute angel!

Narked@50 - you’re quite right, it was almost enough to put me off but I’ve been ‘lurking’ for long enough and thought it was about time I introduced myself!

Dive Now Work Never (I wish) – thanks for the offer, I’m sure I’ll be taking you up on it in the near future! I can be found at Eccy most Wednesday nights as it’s close enough to get a midweek dive in and Anglesey most weekends. I’m trying to get my Sports Diver sorted at the moment but my club is dragging its heels a little – when they get round to running the next course I’m sure I’ll need to be doing some practising!

Thanks again everyone, have a lovely weekend whatever you’re up to
