Hello from Haliburton!
 

Hi Folks,

I'm Pete smith, friends call me smiffy, 'cause in England(where I'm from originally) people with the last name Smith are often called smiffy. Anyway, I started diving in Feb of 2008, got about 20 dives in so far. I started out doing rec style diving, and am now going the DIR route, planning to DIR-F in the spring.

I'm not diving right now, since i only have a wetsuit, but am in the process of acquiring a drysuit from Serge on this board. I bought a set of doubles, Apex DS4's and BP/W in August and really love my setup.

A buddy of mine, Rob Smith mentioned this board to me, if any of you get the chance to dive with him, he's a solid dive buddy.

Hope to meet a bunch of you folks for some diving soon. I love just about any kind of diving, particularly wreck diving.

Hey Pete,

Good to see you here. Welcome to the forums and hope to meet you at a dive site soon.

There are a few of us signed up for DIR-F at the end of May. Have you signed up yet? Which course are you on?

Serge.

Haven't signed up yet, hope to do so this week.

Welcome aboard Pete.

Glad to here your taking GUEf in the spring. There are a number of GUE divers here already, as well as, we have 5 members taking fundies this May. Keep an eye on the dive planning forum. I'm sure once the weather breaks we will be hitting the water to practice fundies skills. Your more than welcome to join us.

Awesome, I'm into practicing Fundies skills with you guys when the weather gets a little nicer. I'll look forward to it!

I'm doing some pools sessions with a Peterborough LDS starting 17th Jan, if anyone would care to join me.

Hey Pete! Welcome aboard, it's been awhile. Thanks for the kind words, I'll pay ya for it when I see ya. LOL About time you went dry now there is no excuse!

Take Care

Rob

Welcome to the board Pete!

It was nice to meet you and Rob today.

Thanks..
 

It was a really great to meet up with you folks too. Always a pleasure to meet up with other divers and talk shop. Coffee wasn't bad either!

Have a good one

Rob

Pete,

I'm a Brummie turned Canadian who is currently living in Rochester, New York! I'd be happy to go diving with you (I'm going the GUE route - did fundies last year and I'm planning on cave 1 in the fall).

Cheers,
Jase.
