Hey my name is David. I am a scuba instructor and I am just getting into the sport. I did try it a few years ago and started to enjoy it, but I had to cut out the several hobbies I was in to at the time. Anyway, I live in South Beach area and would really enjoy any info on how to meet climbers and get back into the sport.
