Jamestown, RI, the middle of May, on a rainy day. Water was 56 F. Been hooked ever since. So many divers that weekend that it looked like a seal convention.
Cheers!

it was maui on an discover scuba deal, then i loved it but looking back it was kind of barren, the only stuff we saw was what the dive instructor brought
A quary in south western Ontario. When I started diving again last year and redid my certifications, my first dive was a shore dive near Lions Bay in British Columbia. Oddly enough - I've never been diving in what would be considered "warm water" - every dive has been a dry suit dive, averaging 43 degrees F.Natasha:

Haymarket Quarry near Manassas, VA......wasn't even certified at the time......which is ill advised. Eventually, a month later, I did my certification dives there too.

Discounting all my boring little weekend dives in Ohio quarries, here's my Little Big List Of First Open Water Dives:
OW checkout dives=Portage Quarry, northwest Ohio.
First attempt at a *real* OW dive=Lake Erie near Sandusky, OH. Underweighted, overheated, seasick. Abort! Abort!
First *real* OW dive where I actually got below the surface=Tobermory, ON. First dive got me down to 100 ft. Brrr!
First OW dive that looked like what most people think scuba diving looks like=Bimini, with Blackbeard's.
cheers
