Hello all from the middle of England

Noel Johnson · April 21st, 2006, 09:11 AM

Hello and good morning.

I thought after lurking a bit I maight as well say hello. Some of you may know me already from YD or a certain trip to the south coast last year (which was a lot of fun BTW) but for those who don't:

My name is Noel, I've been diving now for about 5 years mainly in the UK and a couple of Red Sea liveaboards. I'm a PADI DM and have just finished the IANTD advanced nitrox dives - only the exam to do now - and I'm interested in the whole DIR thing, there are some very good concepts in it. Mind you I can see a lot of good concepts and advantages to an inspiration as well.

Anyway, hello.

Noel.

Hello Noel - very happy to see you here - thought we might when those yellow fins found their way to ebay

Enjoy it here.

Hi Noel,

Good to see you here - Poole does seem a long time ago now! I did see your trip report from the IANTD course - sounded a bit hairy, I'm glad you got through it.

Cheers
Al

Thanks mate.

Thank you both for the warm welcome, There will be questions - probably all of them stupid. Love the Star Wars avatars BTW - I managed to get 12 on Mastermind last night
