New member, just wanted to introduce myself!

[Matt the diving ninja!]

Hi everyone,

My name is Matt I am 28 years old with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and have a dream to scubadive. I have made many new friends in the diving world while working on my dream, and hope to make more here.

Scuba diving is something I have wanted to do since I was around 6 years old. I am a very big fan of the underwater world. My favorite underwater creature is the shark. I have always been impressed with the Navy and the Navy SEALS and all they do underwater. The diving technology now is amazing.

I see a few of your divers have DUI dry suits, cool, I love mine. I am friends with Dick Long, who is a pioneer of diving. Susan Long, my good friend, president of DUI, and I are in touch almost daily.

For more on my dream you can visit my websites @ www.scubadivingdream.com (http://www.scubadivingdream.com/) or www.divingadream.org (http://www.divingadream.org/) or http://matt55125.tripod.com/scuba (http://matt55125.tripod.com/scuba)

As the bumper sticker on the back of my wheelchair says... "SCUBA diving is life, everything else is just a surface interval!"

I look forward to meeting you all, and any advice you may have. Safe diving!

Matt, good to see you found us here. Welcome to our little corner of the web. Your suit looks sweet, I want to get a TLS350, but I'm having to save my pennies. Hopefully I'll have mine by the time you get to diving and we can enjoy the sights together!

He Matt my best friend is a quadrapalegic and he just went turkey hunting yesterday for the first time in 16 years (since his car accident). We got shut out but still had a great time. I admire people that go out and make things happen, I am glad that you get to dive and pursue your interests. Good luck in all your endeavers and I hope that I get the honor to meet you someday.
