Finding a dive buddy for new diver
I'll apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I skimmed a number of threads and didn't see anything that looked related.
I just started as a student and should be getting my OW cert in a couple of months. Later this summer, I'll be making a trip to Rhode Island (I live in Ohio) and I'd be interested in doing a couple of dives out there. I'm not really planning on joining a "dive trip", but would like to rent some gear and dive somewhere convenient from shore, just for the experience.
From my wanderings in cyberspace, I've gathered that obviously most people prefer an experienced buddy to dive with, so I'm wondering what my best bet might be to find someone who'd not mind diving with a newbie. Should I just ask around at whatever LDS is near where I'm going or is there a good resource online for people looking for buddies?
