Welcome one and all to the first official posting of the Naples, Italy “Need a Dive Buddy” dive social group!
Let me start off with letting everyone know how excited I am to personally be involved with such a wonderful and inviting group of divers and I look forward to some fun dives ahead with all of you.
My name is Lewis and I will be your blogmaster for the diving social group’s blog. I was certified PADI Open Water in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in 1999 and didn’t dive for several years. One major reason I didn’t dive was because I could never find a dive buddy where I was living at the time.
Living in Italy provides us all the unique opportunity to see inside some of the most influential places in ancient history. That same opportunity makes a sport like SCUBA incredibly difficult. One of the many obstacles to overcome is finding a dive buddy. That is the main goal of this social club.
We have a lot of great things planned for this blog. We have “Divemaster Rob” who will be writing articles related to SCUBA diving, we have “Doc Paul” who will be teaching us about safe diving topics and other things regarding safe diving. Finally we have some resident underwater photographers who will be sharing their experiences with documenting marine life and diving fun.
So stop in often and see what we are all up to and if you’re looking for a dive buddy you know where to come!

I think this is great that there is an organized way to find dive buddies and go!
ReplyDeleteTiffany,
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct. We are currently 40 strong with more growing everyday.
Come back soon to hear how our trip to Ventotene
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventotene) went. We expect to be putting at least 3 new divers into the water as they certify PADI Open Water.
There are so many exciting things happening with the group so stop back in often to see what's happening!
Thanks for stopping in and say hi!
