| Endorsed  Joined: May 2012 From: Seattle, WA I Ride: 04 sv650s | how is the diving there? I'm sure it is ridiculously cold (what do you wear 5mm?), but is there a whole lot to see? What kind of life do you get to see? I love diving, but I am super super spoiled! Haven't ever dove in anything colder than mid 80's |

Dry suit is a better way to go but we usually reserve that for Neah Bay, but it's a great excuse to get your dry cert.  As for life...nothing like the tropical waters your used to, but there is life and I agree, critters up here are for eating. My advice, if you enjoy diving for the pretty wildlife, warm waters, and just relaxing time...get on a plane (Key Largo and Texas Flower Gardens are my fav in the US), if you love diving just to be in the water...get a hood.  Either way, I'd try it at least once up here in the colder water. Different experience for sure. | |

Personally i went to hawaii and got cert for under 300. Not sure how expensive it is here. Btw when asking for a class you want you ow or open water cert. |

| Licensed  Joined: Nov 2010 From: Oly Pen I Ride: 05 SV650S | I got certified in the Hood Canal, of all places. Diving with One-eyed Jack, the local wolf eel. He was about all I could ever see. And he made me uneasy, lol. "Someday" I will have the opportunity to dive in warm water with pretty fish! |
