Hi everybody, I am new, new to this site and new to diving, I am currently following the course to become a one star diver and the examination both theory and practice are planned for February and March.
My name is Liesbeth and I live in Antwerp, Belgium, I am a late starter, born in 1952 so you can work it out for yourselves...
I have been reading lots of threads on this net and learned a lot.
My husband is a two star diver and we plan to go diving together all over Europe, we plan to start with a months holiday in Italy and check out the diving there, if I get through my exams that is, I am not overly confident about that, the theory isn't all that easy if you haven't studied for over xxxx-years.
Also I am not in the best of condition as fitness is concerned, need to work on that very hard too.
Still I think i will enjoy diving although a bit apprehensive for my first real dive but that is normal I think.
Greetings from Belgium,
Liesbeth
 
HI Liesbeth

welcome! You'll find lots of good people here and all the advice you need.

I admire anyone who braves the Belgian waters... brrrr
 
Welcome to Deeperblue!

Are you a freediver or a scuba diver?

Good luck

I'm not with a club.
I do very little sportsdiving in my own country, especially now since i'm doing a 1 year IDSA training which has 5 weeks of intensive divetraining in the summer included. But normally when I go recreational diving it's in the tropics :)

However in summetime once or twice I go North to the Oosterschelde with a friend and freedive there...it can be quite beautiful there and if u manage to catch one of the huge lobsters that live there you have enough food for a week :)
