Hello, my name is Brian and I was certified in 2015 as an open water diver. I went out and bought all of the cold water gear and have dove about 45 times in the past three years in the sound, lake Washington and a handful of dives in Cozumel. I live in Seattle, have a car and want to dive more. My current buddies get distracted with life and I am interested to meet new people, dive more and progress my skills. I am also interested in progressing to potentially a dive master/instructor cert and looking at the best place to knock out all the classes in either warm or cold water. Any recommendations or tips whether I should pursue this? Thanks

Welcome to the board! We have weekly dives in the north and south Sound, you are welcome to join them. No buddy needed, we'll set you up! Keep your eye on the dive planning section.

With what agency are you thinking of pursuing your DM/instructor cert? If you are planning to work here primarily, I would do your coursework here. A friend of mine did an instructor boot camp in the Caribbean, and it was pretty brutal, plus the diving is just so dramatically different.

Welcome :)
Where are you located? Being in Kitsap I mostly dive in Hood Canal and west sound sites. We might have room on the boat for you sometime.

Welcome to the group. Keep an eye on dive planning. TH TH TH group dives Thursdays, and Bubbles and Suds dives Thursdays until the end of the month, then we will be moving to wednesdays.

Both of these are PM dives though.
