Hello from the Puget Sound!

[pawood]

Hello! My name is Anthony and I am new to the forum. I havent been in the water for over 2 years due to military deployments and such, but I'm actually taking a refresher course on Thursday night. I'm also new to Washington and I hear there is some pretty good diving in my area. So, hopefully I will be able to find some people in the area that enjoy being in the water as much as I do. I would love for anyone to share their diving experiences with me, especially if you were submerged in my area!

Welcome to the board! You should be able to find some awesome dive spots up that way.

Welcome, I have been to and had a couple dives in Puget Sound at Edmond's Underwater Park. It is a great place to dive. Water temps around 52* F about all the time.

There is a great group of folks that dive the Sound. It has a large dive community and it will be easy for you to hook up with a diver or group.

The diving is great also, there are a lot of things there that you will never see in Atlantic waters.

I know one or two good divers there that dive nearly everyday of the year.

Yeah I think I will be able to get involved around here. My next plan of action is deciding on a suit. I know the waters around here can get kinda chilly. So I'm either gona get a 7mm 2 piece wetsuit, a semidry suit, or a dry suit. I've been pricing stuff and who knows what I'm gona do. But from what I'm hearing the local surface temps are between 45-55 on average
