Hello!
My husband and I were recently OW certified in Maui as a birthday gift/trip for the both of us! (both Feb b-days) we did the online e learning, and were certified with an incredible instructor at Maui Diving SCUBA & snorkel shop. I'd always wanted to learn to dive, but was always kind of afraid of open water and very afraid of having to do to mask flooding, but I worked through it all and feel like I may be hooked. After too many ski/snowboard injuries and near-injuries, we wanted some new way to have adventure in our life, and I'm very excited we tried Scuba!
Now that we are home and live in the Bay Area, I'm very curious on how we can keep diving and learn more skills since learning in Maui was basically like learning in an aquarium. I'm intimidated by the water (visibility, temp and the sealife to an extent) around here, but I assume with the right gear, I can do it? I would love any advice from locals or folks who have visited the area on how we can continue this journey!
Thank you!
Maggie
