Hello,
I am new to all of this, but am loving every second of it. I am looking for Dive Buddies to dive anywhere locally. My biggest problem is my schedule. I work nights and weekends. I am off on Wednesday and Thursday. I have all my own equipment. I just want to get wet. I would like to find someone with some experience that doesn’t mind having a newbie diving with them. I may be new, but I am nowhere near being an idiot. I have a good deal of common sense. I hope to find someone to dive some of the local springs and lakes with, as well as possibly some offshore diving.
Please feel free to call or text any time. If I don’t answer, please just leave a message.

Tim Bear52660 - 6/04/2015 11:25 AM I am not sure if you noticed, but I now live in Lake Charles. Is there a place we can dive during the week that is not too far from either of us?

mattcslack - 6/02/2015 7:52 PM Let me know if your still looking for a buddy. Bear52660 - 6/02/2015 10:14 PM Yes, I am still interested in finding a dive buddy, but I now live in Lake Charles, La. mattcslack - 6/04/2015 7:35 PM No Problem. Do you have plans to head to TX or Florida anytime soon? Bear52660 - 6/05/2015 5:02 PM I do not have any plans right now... The only place in Tx that I have found to dive is out of Galveston. There are a couple Charter boats that go out to the Oil Platforms, and a another place that has a sleep aboard weekend charter... Not sure where else to check out... Those are both sort of expensive... If you have any suggestions, let me know... mattcslack - 6/05/2015 5:08 PM Houston Twin lakes, houston 20 min from downtown Mammoth lake purpose scuba built. 20min from downtown and has kayaks and paddle boarding etc Dive at smiths lake in Beaumont Blue Lagoon San Solomon Springs, Balmorhea, Texas: Flower gardens ~$600 out of Albaline, TX Missile silo dive site, Vahalla, but temps at 110’ are 57.
