Default Hi from NC

hey everyone, my name is Harry. i guess i'll start off by introducing myself and a little about me. i'm 24, and currently a PADI divemaster candidate here in NC. I started diving when i was 12, but had quite a layoff after a bad case of swimmer's ear as well as getting caught up in middle/highschool sports. After about 10 years out of diving, i've jumped back in full force and plan to start a career.

Being from NC, the majority of my dives have either been off our of our coast or in local quaries with a few trips to the keys and one to Roatan. So far, my experience has been in primarily warm waters, but i'm always curious and open to new things, and would love to hear stories from all aspects of diving. I look forward to learning a lot from the site and interacting with you all.

Harry
Greenville, NC

Na, i usually dive with discovery in beaufort...well i used to. i haven't been out with them in a while. Usually anywhere south of Hatteras is warm compared to that of the Nag's Head area. Also, over half of my dives were in the keys and Roatan so the majority of them have been warm. The coldest dive i've been on was 66 degrees off of Radio Island about 3 weeks ago. I guess what i meant is that i've never needed a hood or drysuit so i consider that warm compared to what some the others on the board have diving in.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome and i'll keep y'all posted on my DM.
