I live in Southwest Washington State. I do most of my diving in Puget Sound, south of Seattle, and Vancouver Island in Canada. The nearest dive site is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from my home. Viz runs between 3ft to 60ft depending upon time of year and location. Water temps range in the mid 40's to lower 50's. I've been to Australia where we did some diving on the Great Barrier Reef and the Cod Hole.

Well, there's at least another French, here. Living and diving in Los Angeles.
The French may have invented diving, but a lot of them still seem stuck in the 50's... The more I learn, the more I realize it.
From the lack of buoyancy training (yeah, they didn't use BCs in the 50's), to the painful introduction of Nitrox or the quasi-military teaching of outdated deep air diving, one could get the feeling that the French diving community is living a little too much in the past, refusing modern equipment or research on Narcosis and O2 exposure. Oh, and I was going to forget the French agency c-card. The credit card-like format is still in its test phase...
Good thing we have hot tap water

St.Petersburg Florida. Most of my diving has been in the gulf with some at Ginnie, Blue Grotto and Devils Den springs. The gulf has low vis in the summer but warm and good vis with cold in the winter. Except this winter. All winter. Lots of storms, fronts, stirred up water and stuff. On the bright side I'm getting lots of experence in low vis enviroments and cold water.

Three types of diving locally:
- Warm Indian Ocean reef dives
- Colder Atlantic Ocean dives
- Inland (quarries and caves)
Get to meet lots of divers from all over the world, especially on the Indian Ocean dives.

Hi Amanda,
Very upset that no-longer-so Great Britain was not included as an option as we are, of course, a race apart from those odd people in Europe who reside over the sea and speak funny languages.
However, in order not to spoil the poll I did not vote "other".ut:

I cheated a bit and clicked South America because Canada is well represented and there seem to be very few divers from here on the board.
