Back in the Water and Loving It!

[Aleka]

Grew up in Hawaii freediving and blowing the occasional bottle (NAUI). Moved to the Pacific Northwest 28 years ago and slowly faded from the diving scene (didn't have the right gear, $$, or time (small kids) to keep it going). Just got re-certified (PADI) this fall. Boy has the landscape changed! I'm looking forward to getting peoples opinions on a variety of stuff. Spent Christmas in Akumal, Mexico diving with my boys (one of the reasons I got re-certified). Had a BLAST I'm definitely back in!
Question (for those that live in my area / Bellingham, WA (Seattle))
1. Which of the diveshops has the best selection of gear? I'm shopping around for a basis set-up I can use locally and take on vacations (don't need all the bells and whistles).

Can't answer your specific questions, but welcome back to being "wet and wild." You are wild, aren't you? You'll need to be to survive here. Just kidding!

A great place to learn, discuss, argue and worse...

Check in on your local dive club here...

Of course I'm still wild...just a slower, more wise, wild. Its all about those body parts that take longer to heal now days. Thanks for the info El Orans, I'll check out the forum. If the Hooters calendar is any indication of the warped sense of humor here I'm glad I joined.

Welcome to the board. I can't wait until my kids are certified.... It will be fun.
