My dad paid for me to get a scuba cert 5 years ago, I never went diving but despite that, 3 years later he decided to buy me some gear too for like $2k. I want to dive but I have no friends or relatives that actually goes diving or has any interest in it, and I live rural area too so my options are limited. I have contacted the 2 nearest diving clubs I can find (still miles away) and tell them I'm a beginner and want to join some dives, they say they will let me know if anything comes up but the never get back to me. I called one of them over and over again to ask but the few times they were going, but the few dives they were going to were above my skill level so I couldn't come.
I have thought about just doing it solo at this point and I'm curious if anyone here got some input. I'm not gonna jump into the deepest ocean alone, obviously I'll be doing it in very shallow waters, close to shore and be tethered to a friend on the surface. Is this too retarded and should I just drop scuba diving? I've already given up on finding diving buddies, so it's this or nothing
