New diver and new member saying hi!
I took diving lessons a) because my father was a construction and recreational diver in his younger days, and strongly encouraged me to "see the rest of the word"; and b) because my sister and I are planning to go to Thailand next year and wanted to do more than just snorkel there. I was very surprised and pleased to find that Seattle has such cool (though cold!) places to dive right in our back yard. Although I have to say that I am looking forward to my trip to Thailand just so that I can do some diving without the bazillion layers of insulation required here.
