Hello from AZ!

[From_Arizona]

Hi all-I am new to diving and have under 10 dives under my belt, I got certified PADI opoen water with my husband last year. I live in AZ and have only beein diving in the warm waters of the Caribbean, I have been too chicken to try a cold water lake dive :-).

We are also very new to the diving. My wife does not dig on lakes either. I actually want to do Lake Pleasant for our Navigation course (at least a year away). Five foot visibility would be a cool challenge in a cold lake.

You guys will love it here. I've only got about a dozen dives on me, and everyone here's been not only friendly and helpful, but pretty funny as well.

Welcome to the board. We live in Phoenix and do most of our diving in the Caribbean and Mexico. We're not into cold water either...we're spoiled....

Welcome to the board. Cold water lake diving is different, but fun. If you try it, I am sure you would enjoy youself. It allows you to dive near your home, stay sharp on your skills and experience a little different tye of diving. If you enjoy diving as much as the rest of us it will probably be a matter of time. Those once or twice a year trips just don;t seem to be enough. Again, welcome.

welcome to the board. you are smart to dive in the warm waters of the caribbean. it isnt chicken to be reluctant to dive in the cold lake water, it is only your smartness that makes you think twice.

Welcome to the board! There's nothing wrong with only diving in warm waters. But you don't give up on cold water lake diving without trying it. Actually, Lake Pleasant isn't so cold in the summer. I've been diving in Lake Pleasant in nothing but a swim suit before. It's not the greatest diving, but it's better than not diving. I just can't go more than 2 weeks without diving. And even 2 weeks is tough to do! Check out a website I created: Southwest Scuba when we lived and dived in Arizona. There's quite a bit of information there on diving in the Arizona lakes.
