Hi all, moving back to Washington for a few months, next month and wanted to dive a bit. Are there any groups or meetups that regularly go diving? I think I’m going to be staying near hoods canal.
PNW Dive groups?

I've heard good things about Marker Buoy Dive Club, but have no personal experience with them

Moss Bay Divers seems pretty active, www.nwdiveclub.com is good too with a few weekly dives, though mostly on the Seattle side of Puget Sound.
Depending on what side of Hood Canal you are going to be on, hit up YSS dive (in hoodsport) or Sound Dive Center(in Bremerton) both host occasional shop dives. If you do facebook, Hood Canal Divers and Kelp Krawlers are good to join, the guy who runs Kelp Krawlers is an instructor and hosts a lot of dives.
Hit me up with a DM if you'd like and I can probably meet up for a dive on the Hoodsport side. There is a public access right next to YSS dive that is a nice intro to PNW diving.

+1 for www.nwdiveclub.com
There are also some regional Facebook groups that arrange diving.
If you're going to be out on the Olympic Peninsula, I can dive with you.

Another one for Marker Buoy.
Also check out Jade Scuba, Of The Hook, nd YSS for shop dives. There's a Mason County FB group, but I'm not as familiar with them.

Lots of dive shops have regular shop dives. Underwater Sports alone has 5-6 satellite shops and they generally each run a shop dive once a month.
Marker Buoy is Seattle's oldest dive club.
A good question to ask is do you just want to dive, or do you want to meet socially when not diving? Some dive clubs have regular potlucks or dinners and a speaker independent of diving. (Though most that are 100% dive-oriented might involve going out for a meal or beer post-dive if you wanted to.)

Thursday night diving @ Redondo - Facebook group that dives often at Redondo and other local sites.
It's most definitely dry suit season up here in case you weren't already aware.

Yes I have mine on order as of today. Hopefully it won’t take too long!

Definitely a bit of both as divers tend to be good company! Just looking to stay active. I’ve been enjoying diving weekly/ daily and don’t want to just sit on the sidelines. I got certified with uw sports in Olympia in 2018. Got equipment, went a handful of times and just stopped diving in the pnw. I just ordered a dry suit in order to make it a bit more bearable.
