Hello and Welcome Ed,

Since you have been lurking around for a week or so, I am sure you are growing familiar with the threads and a few of the people here. This forum offers up an enormous amount of valuable information, and as I tell people, "If you don't see it here, start a thread!"

We are usually much quicker to respond with the welcoming mat, however most leaders and mentors (as well as members) have been preoccupied with the recent news regarding the passing of one of deeperblue.net's most cherished. Ironically, this same person would have been the one to greet you here at the introductions thread. Her name was Alison and she was one heck of a good will ambassador!

Please tell us about the type of diving you do. There are a handful of regulars here from Perth that you are destined find.

Once again welcome to DB,

Jim
