Greetings NW Divers,
My name is Jacob, and I have been diving for a year and some change. My allegiance has been with UWS from the get go, I suppose that is a good thing round here... Right, I love diving and have trained through the advanced open water course. I go to university, and have lived in the Seattle area since I was a baby.
My dad got me interested in diving a while back. He chose scuba diving, rather than sky diving, as his mid-life "crazy" adventure. Finally, last spring a good buddy and I dropped the bucks and made the time to get certified. Unfortunately, my pop doesn't go too often, but we managed to get him out to Lanai when we visited Maui last winter! He loved the cathedrals. However, his first tropical experience was Grand Cayman, so I have some catching up to do.
The majority of my diving has been in the Puget Sound, with a handful in BC, and one dive packed trip to Maui. My buddy and I frequent Alki cove 2 at night, midweek. We really need to explore more sites further south. Although only a beginner next to many of you (just under 75 dives), I take pride in being a NW diver from the start! Looking forward to meeting/discussing with everyone, and keeping all the hours in between diving bearable.
Pleased to meet you all, and be distracted from school work
Welcome Jacob! You'll find this board a great place to be.
Several of us are pretty regular south end divers, so watch the board for dive ops... there should be plenty!

Welcome! (love the avatar btw)
You'll definitely make some good dive buddies here, and there's always someone to dive with just about anywhere in the Sound. Sounds like you've got a good foundation (embracing the cold water and all).
I'm a Cove 2 rat, so I'll likely see you around there, midweek evenings and maybe even on a weekend if the tides (and/or my hangover) are *really* bad.
:rr:
