Hi Kathryn,
I’m a "little" (as in - a lot!) older than you but love to dive. My husband won’t and my girlfriends are wusses. So, I go by myself with groups from various dive shops all over the country. Anyway, my local dive shop (Bob’s) in Fresno, CA is planning a weekend wreck dive out of San Diego in Mar. if you’re interested. Congrats on finishing Med School! I’m a retiring NP. My replacement NP’s daughter is going to start Med. School in Granada next month.
I do want to go to Cozumel sometime but can’t this spring as I have a trip to Cuba planned in June. You will probably be interning or residencing then.
Let’s keep in touch.

Good morning Kathryn, since you are in the city you might want to check out the meet-up group, Ocean Blue http://www.oceanbluedivers.com/ . I used to go to their meetings when they were on Thursday nights but now they are on Tuesdays and I can’t get into the city in time and then still function at work on Wednesday after the long ride home. They do some local dives plus group trips including a quick one to Coz in February and you should be able to find buddies there.
If you are thinking about Coz you might want to check http://www.bluextseadiving.com/ , which is a female owned dive op. When I dive Coz I prefer DB’s own Chucho Divers, a small op with great service.
Don’t forget to keep March 24-25th open for Beneath the Sea http://www2.beneaththesea.org/index.html

Thanks Lin! I was really hoping to do some reef dives vs wrecks, but thanks for the invite. Planning a (non-dive) trip with my girlfriend in early June (residencies start July 1st), but if that falls through I am definitely down to go to Cuba!
Latitude, thanks for the info regarding the Ocean Blue! I just joined and sent them an email about meetings/the Cozumel trip. I had no clue they were in NYC, good to know. I’ll definitely look into Beneath the Sea, too, thanks.

Hi KP, My wife and I will be in Sharm el Sheikh in June diving the Red Sea. The trip is via Amsterdam, charter flight directly into Sharm. I cant’t get people interested and this is one of the greatest places to dive. i do have a few ladies that have been on previous trips that went as singles and had a blast. You should be able to do two weeks with 10 days of diving for around $1400 with flights from US to AMS and then joining us when we go. I say you should do nothing shorter than two weeks when traveling that far. Just me. The price difference with one or two weeks will only be a few hundred.

Hi Kathryn-
I am hoping to go to Utila in mid march but may be able to swing somewhere else. I have been to Cozumel three times and prefer somewhere else. If you are interested let me know! I am in the same boat as you no one who wants to dive. Looking for a buddy.

Hi Kathryn,
I am about the same age as you are. I was thinking of doing a dive trip sometime in mid-may as well. I got certified in Cozumel about 2.5 yrs ago, but have done a few dive trips since then. I’ve been wanting to dive little cayman, grand cayman or belize. If you’re still looking to go on a dive trip let me know!
p.s. from reading the posts I guess you live in NYC, I just moved from ny to houston about 7 months ago. i love nyc!
