Howdy Avery and welcome to NWDC!
You’ll find many dive site listings with detailed information in the sub-forum.
As far as tips, I recommend dry gloves eventually. It makes all the difference to have your hands comfy, in my opinion!

Re: New Diver in PNW
Welcome!
Pretty impressive that you already had the luck to dive the San Juans as such a new diver. There's not many charters out there these days. It's so nice out there isn't it?
Dive site recommendations: keystone! You can easily find the best dates to dive there on pnwdiving.com. Find a date and post here or there and I'm sure you'll find some people able to join you and show you the site! I'd be happy to show you but I'm currently recovering from surgery
As far as other dive opportunities and dive buddies, keep your eyes on the planning section for our weeknight dives.
The Thursday night group in particular has a lot of photographers in it. We're in a little bit of a dry spell now as scuba Jess and I do a lot of the planning for that group and unfortunately I'm recovering from surgery right now. You can always ask though. And Jess and I hope to be back in a month or so!
