Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! It is nice to find a hobby/obsession that everyone is so friendly in... Some hobbies, it's hard to find friendly people that are so welcoming.

I am super stoked for my class, and I can't wait for the open water dives, whether they are here or someplace warm! I am excited to dive, and can't believe that I waited this long to get certified, honestly. I have been a fish in the water ever since I was a kid (thanks Dad!) and this would seem like the natural progression for the kid that would never want to get out of the water whenever he was in it. I can't wait to get out and do some real dives and meet some if not most of you all sometime! ;D

And to answer your question Austin, yes, that's Nicky Hayden, winner of the MotoGP championship this year (which I'm sure you probably knew...) One of my other major passions is riding motorcycles, specifically sportbikes (I own a Yamaha R6), and I hope to get into racing one day when I have more money to throw away... I go to all the CRA (Central Roadracing Association) races up at BIR and work/hang out with friends of mine that race, and am really into AMA and MotoGP racing. You into motorcycle racing too?
