New diver intro

Hi everyone. I am the beginner diver certified 1.5 years ago. I got back into diving this August (Redondo, EUP, Sund Rock) and think it is a great hobby for me.
My husband is my best and preferred dive buddy. However, our work schedules do not always let us to go diving together, and then the babysitting costs are insane but our kids are too little for OW certification except for the oldest one - she got certified a month ago :) I will be happy to try joining some Seattle or Eastside diving group. It looks like there are some active ones here on this forum and hope they would welcome an inexperienced diver too? Let me know please!

Welcome to the nitrox addiction! :)

I hope we can dive soon! We have a group that goes to Redondo almost every Thursday (ththth) and another group that goes to Muck/Edmonds on Wed.

Do you have your night diving cert yet?

Thank you! Both Redondo and Edmonds are familiar sites, I have never been to Muckilteo. I don't have a night diving certification, only some unavoidable low vis diving experience ;)

Actually I called a few shops last week to see who is teaching that specialty, looks like a necessity here. Turned out that it's an "on demand" class, and my options other than waiting are either bringing my own group or paying private rates - high but on par with babysitting costs, so I am thinking...

It's definitely getting to the point where "afternoon" diving is night diving. :)

Welcome to the board!
