Hi from The Hague, the Netherlands

Emmie · April 5th, 2007, 11:43 PM

I think it is about time that I introduce myself, after reading this forum for a couple of weeks.

So here I am, Esther in real life, 35 years old and living in the Hague, the Netherlands.
As far as diving concerned, I am a PADI Divemaster, got my first diving certificate in July 2003 and trying to make at least 100 dives a year.
Later this year (Sept.) I've planned to do my DIR Fundamentals.
Right now spending all my savings to change my gear, but it is worthy.

Yesterday I made my first dive with a backplate and wing and it was absolutely great to dive with it. So easy. I hope it wasn't beginners luck........

Anyway, I have a lot to read on this forum and I hope I can contribute in a constructive way in the future.

Hi Emmy,

you're in luck: there's lots of DIR minded people in your neighbourhood. You might be interested in the DIR-NL mailinglist (or the DIR-NL day on may 26th)

Hello Emmie!

Welcome here! May be the meetigns of DIR Belgium, DIR diving in Belgium are also interesting for you. If you like to come to Germany for example the Blausteinsee close to Aachen just write a private mail.

Regards,

Philippe.
