Re: Dive buddy in Regina, Sask

Hey!! What's up homeboy! I'm from Regina. Well now I live in Kamloops BC. It's tricky to find some ppl from there to dive with, but try asking around, especially the YMCA, about JR. Lifeguarding, or talk to the local swim club and see if anyone there practices finswimming. I used to go to the Lawson pool for SCUBA/snorkel hour, they might still have that time set aside for people who want to do this. Good Luck and keep in touch!
Oh yeah, and welcome to DB, the vein of inspiration.

Re: Dive buddy in Regina, Sask

Hey TwitchFish...I also live in Regina...I may have run into you at the Lawson a few weeks back. I thought you had given up freediving for scuba. Good to hear that is not the case. This is my very first ever post, but please feel free to get in contact with me. I am getting over a cold/allergies now, but hope to be better soon.

Re: Dive buddy in Regina, Sask

Hey Erik, I'm not sure if I will be around on May long, but if you're going to Lake Diefenbaker, do you actually know where? Even if I can't join you guys, I'd like to know the location for later this summer. There's a tiny lake near Regina I visit, but it gets green by early August. L.D. will be clear after that. Thanks for the info.

Re: Dive buddy in Regina, Sask

I had to bail on the Long Weekend trip.. price of fuel and not enough people to split costs.
But certainly we'll be coming out this Summer!

Yep I'm still around !! You can find me in the Yellow Pages....Adventure Sports
or email me : ron@adventuresportsdiving.com. Yep I had lots of business in Jan this year but the health got to me in Feb. I worked with certing a film production crew in March.

I had I bit of a bad winter and the doctor put me off work for 3 weeks. I was to go to Coz with a "friend" of mine to do her advnced course for her.....that will never happen,at least not with me.

I have not been on this board or the others for sometime...... I have also missed several phone calls, so if anyone was trying to call ,sorry I missed it,email is allways best and it's in the yellow pages as well.

Miss ya !

Ronnie
