Guess I can elaborate a bit. Never even snorkeled much before I took my OW course in Playa. Totally in love with diving now, but I have to work out some kinks (weight issues, issues with finding a mask to fit my oddly shaped head, issues with not being a rich person so the wife constantly asks if I'm buying new scuba gear when I go online). Wanting to take Advanced OW this spring and maybe a few different specialty courses. Definitely need a dry suit up here so I'll be spending a pile of money on one of those and adding another course. Want to go full face mask too, and the comms gear sounds like a hoot, so I guess more money there.
Welcome to the amazing world of diving. Glad to hear another person has caught the diving bug. Please consider getting James Lapenta's book: Amazon.com: SCUBA: A Practical Guide to Advanced Level Training: aka Adavanced Open Water Training eBook: James Lapenta: Kindle Store
It will help you find a quality AOW instructor.

Welcome from Nova Scotia. Can't be much to see in S. Sask. I did my Masters decades ago at U. of R. If you ever dive "The Wascana" let me know what's down there. Way back then the conductor of the Symphony has his car stolen and dumped in there. You may try Last Mountain Lake--I had a nice swim there once. Never heard of the Queen City rhyming with "fun"....Let's go Bombers....
Mask fit issues?! Hah, are you in for some fun! I'm going through the same right now!

Welcome. We are here to help fuel your new addiction.
If you're worried about spending money on dive gear....try to convince the wife to go diving too. You'll have an automatic buddy, and then she can enjoy in the "shopping" together with you. lol. And like me, you'll be poor in the bank account, but rich in dive gear.
