Howdy all,
First off, the name is Brian, age 30 and I have two younger sisters who got married so that means I don't have to!! haha(just incase anyone from my family reads this) Been reading the board for almost 3 hours now and I am finding more useful information from everyone here than the last 3 months of general Belize research I've done. I grew up in the midwest but Southern California has been my home for the past 9 years. Started sufing when I moved out here and just got the itch to see what is under the waves. I picked up my rental gear for the scuba class I just signed up for last Thursday, called the only friend I knew who dives, and now instead of going to Belize myself for Thanksgiving to explore and do some diving... I already have someone to talk to. Looking forward to meeting some very friendly people when I come down there in 58 days/8 hours and 12 minutes.

See everyone soon,
Brian
