New diver from Puget Sound

[huskychemist]

Hello ScubaBoard.

I just found this site while checking out psdivers.com. This seems to be a great resource, since all of you on this site come from all over the world...

I got certified in September here in Puget Sound. So far, I haven't had any trouble with being cold... So far, I've logged 39 dives. I'm lucky enough to have a dive buddy at my work, so our schedules and interestes are compatible. I'm able to get wet almost every weekend, and sometimes mid-week for night dives.

I'm hoping to get Advanced certification this winter. So far, I've done the Boat Diving specialty, along with Stress and Rescue. Eventually, I'd like to get to DiveCon, or more.

Did I mention that I'm addicted to diving? I think I'd dive every day if I could find the time.

Thanks.

Welcome to the board.

Did I mention that I'm addicted to diving?

Aren't we all! Aren't we all!

Husky you ARE hooked. Did anyone tell you there are actually places in the world that the water is warm?? (kidding) I've been spoiled so much that I can't imagine making that many cold water dives.......on purpose. But I'm interested.............tell us more.

Sounds like you got it bad, and that's good. This is a great place to argue about it...

Hey Husky! Where'd you do your certs? (I did mine at UWS Kirkland in the summer).

I'm completely jealous of your dive frequency. Had I found this site earlier I'd have been diving twice a week instead of trying to haul my buddy out of his apartment for months at a time.

Should you need it, Virginia Mason has a lovely hyperbaric facility. Largest in the nation, I believe. But the thai food isn't worth the trip.

Happy diving!
