I work for a small company that makes underwater communications equipment as well as FFM and 2nd stage regulators. I eventually plan on getting scuba certified, when $$$ permits, which will be quite some time before doing so. 
Anyways, I thought that maybe this might be a cool thread to make and wonder if there is anyone here on the forum that is thinking about getting scuba certified and/or is scuba certified and tell their experiences as well as post pictures of their adventures underwater.
Even snorkeling. I used to snorkel back in the day when I was a kid along the surf line. I would only go to roughly 8ft in depth, if that, but it was a very neat experience.
Finally, for those like me, I might have questions as well as others that are thinking about eventually getting scuba certified. My main job is repairing the electronics for surface and underwater communications.
I was just recently "certified" with regulator testing and rebuilding as well as with the FFMs. HAHAHAHAHA, even though I got my training and now certified, I still have PLENTY of practice that needs to be done in order to troubleshoot an issue, but at least I know how to rebuild/test an old/broken 2nd stage regulator and their respective FFM.
My certification is rebuilding and testing of the following:
Full Face Mask (FFM) -> OTS Guardian FFM and OTS Stealth FFM (i.e. the Stealth FFM is the same as the Guardian FFM
, but yeah, anyways)
Full Face Mask (FFM) -> Interspiro Divator MKII FFM (a.k.a. AGA FFM)
2nd Stage Regulator -> Guardian 2nd Stage Regulator, Stealth 2nd Stage Regulator, and Interspiro Divator MKII Breathing Valve (i.e. 2nd stage regulator)
NOTE: I am not trained and/or certified for "O2 Cleaning". I barely even understand "O2 Cleaning" other than what Mr. Googl_e tells me as I have not been trained on that particular subject matter.
I'm hoping this to be a fun and interesting thread to ask questions and share experiences and pictures?
