I live in Honolulu, Hawaii and I'll be traveling on a family vacation to Whidbey Island, WA in October. While I'm there I'm interested in getting some diving in and getting my drysuit certification - I used to cold water dive in Minnesota lakes over 10 years ago and will not cold water dive in a wetsuit ever again
Whidbey Island Dive Center is the only place I've found that rents drysuits and teaches the course but I'm not sure if they do boat dives. I assume the better visibility is probably found offshore a ways but correct me if I'm wrong as I don't know the area well at all. Just need some advice on what to do - I'm not sure what the best course of action is. I don't know how many dives a drysuit course requires, if I would be allowed to shoot some photos while doing the dives or if it will all be spent doing skills, and whether or not to push for boat diving or whether shore diving will suffice.
Thanks all!
