Hello from Mid Missouri

Hello everyone,
My name is Konstantin. I was born in former USSR but have lived in Missouri for 14 years now. I've been free diving and spear fishing since early teens until about 6 month ago when I took discover scuba lesson while on honeymoon in Jamaca. Been hoked on scuba sinse and now average a dive every couple of days. Glad to be on this forum as I heard good things about people here from my diving freinds.
See you all around and be safe.
Kostya

Welcome to the forum. Lots of good people here. Not to mention you have plenty of good dive choices in your area.

Welcome to the board, If you ever head down to Table Rock let me know & we could hook up for some diving.
Yesterday after work I went to the marina to check on my boat after the tornado that blew through Kimberling City & Branson.
Good news is the marina is fine, out of power right now but the boats are fine. Thought snagel might want to know that also.

Welcome aboard Kostya.

I saw the aftermath of the tornado activity. I hope no one here was involved in any of that. Quite scary.

Thanks, I've been meaning to call the marina and see if everything was okay, but been too busy at work. Thanks for the update. I was actually thinking about driving down this weekend and see if she made it through okay and how she fared the winter so far.

Love Mermet. Been there couple of times now, there is something almost unreal to be able to take a hot shower after a deep dive in 40 degree H2O (Even if you were in a drysuit)
