New to diving!

Post by Steiger »

Hi there! I recently got open water certified and am working on my Enriched Air Nitrox certification with PADI. I hail from Yakima, WA and hope to get some diving in!

Oh and happy holidays!

Hello Stei,
Welcome to the forum. If I may make an assumption or two, let me answer some questions you have yet to ask. :)

If you haven't checked out the Welcome posting, click http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7278
When looking for dive sites, check out the Dive Planning section at http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewforum.php?f=3.
If you are new to Puget Sound diving, a good site to start with is Cove 2 in West Seattle. Not a lot of current that you have to worry about.
Other popular sites are Redondo, Mukilteo, and Edmonds Underwater State Park. You will want to understand currents for these, and many other sites.
Check out dive site listings here on the forum at http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewforum.php?f=6

Let us know where you live, it helps with suggestions that are within reasonable driving distances.

Again, welcome.

Thanks I'll check out the links and recommendations, So far I've only dove Mukilteo's T Dock, saw a harbor seal. Suddenly addicted.
