I know BoaterEd is expanding at an exponential rate, but is there any interest in a forum for diving? I know I would be interested in hearing about other divers that dive off their own boats. Les? Any thoughts?
 
I would be interested in adding to a diving forum. I do most of my diving in the north east. Just waiting for the weather, probably ready around the first week in May.
 
I need a moderator who will enforce the rules.
 
There seems to be a concensus among some members that topics may become too compartmentalized by the creation of designated forums for specific interest groups. But I like the idea of a diving forum, since it may promote more diving related discussions which have a greater chance of staying on topic, rather than being hijacked by posters with little or no interest in the subject.

Since Live2Dive initiated this idea, I will initiate the first vote for him as BE-diver forum moderator.

I second it - if he wants it
 
Rules? We have Rules? I'm honored. I would be willing to take a stab at it. I think it is something that could add to BE.
 
As a 35 year diver I too would visit often and look forward to all the pictures.
 
I took up diving when I was 45. At 60 I am still an active diver and would enjoy a diving forum. Diving and boating are a great combination. I dive in a lake with 12 feet of visibility for practice and dive in the ocean with 100+ feet of visibility for enjoyment and adventure.
 
I love to snorkel and am wanting to take diving lessons! Can someone tell me where I can get a mask with my eyeglass prescription in the lenses?
 
Planeguy, take a copy of your prescription to any good sized dive shop and they can usually show you several masks with induvidual lenses for each eye. The one I used had both lenses I needed in stock and 15 minutes later I had a prescription mask.
It really makes everything very crisp.
 
Mark, put your right hand on your modem and repeat this out loud

I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Dive Forum Moderator of BoaterEd.com, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitutional Guidelines.
 
Been a diver since I was 16 (I'm now 38) - count me in as a participant.

I can see things 2 miles ahead of me (farsighted), but I can't see "didley squat" when something is right in front of me...like my dive computer....I use small magnifiers, about the size of a quarter, that are "glued" to the inside bottom part of my mask lenses....it's a good thing to be able to read how much gas is left in the tanks....
Hey...I think we just had our first dive topic....
 
Add another vote for a dive forum.

Certified in '75 (at 16) and still going strong.

I, too, look forward to hearing about other locations and seeing some pics.

Congrats "Live2Dive" on your moderatorship :)
