I'm Certified! PADI Rules.

I finished my open water diver certification this weekend in the Puget Sound. Water was 50 degrees and visibility was <10 feet, but I made it. And I saw a few sweet creatures. It was a sandy dive spot so not too much to look at.

That's it. Hi everyone, new to the board anyhow.

Welcome and congrats on the certification. The learning has just begun.

Had to laugh about your post title - "PADI Rules". Do they offer this in a "specialty cert"? You'll understand later after you've spent some time on the forum. PADI is a good organization, just a little too "commercial".

Congrats again and have fun.

Congratulations! Get out and do some dives, then take the AOW class, which is really just 5 dives with an instructor. Great way to expand your knowledge base. Do some more dives, then plan on doing your Rescue certification. I think every diver should go through the Rescue class. Most everyone that takes it, regardless of the certifying agency, highly rates the class.

Congratulations! Hope you have many more dives to come. Two more training to consider... Rescue Diver and Advanced Open Water. The AOW will let you go deeper. Don't know about Puget Sound but in my area, deeper equals better viz. Unfortunately, it also equals thermocline and colder water. But then there is always Dry Suit training.

Congratulations!

And you've already earned our respect for having the cajones to get certified in cold, low viz waters. If you can dive there, you can dive darned near anywhere.
