Thanks for the helpful tips! I spent a lot of time practicing with a friend's dad, who is an instructor, on running reels during my wreck cert and was trained in penetration in San Diego. I, of course, want quite a bit of practice off the Oregon Coast before I penetrate a wreck here. I'd rather chase dives than certs at this point (OW, AOW, Wreck, Nitrox so far), but I am hoping to do Rescue this year if I can fit the course into my schedule.
I've already thoroughly acquainted myself with ESDS here, joined the local dive club, and signed up for the info session at the aquarium. Diving Woahink Lake next weekend with my buddy
We will definitely give North Jetty a look soon. We've also heard Clear Lake is a pretty sweet dive. I don't know if you have experience there to share.
Hi! And thank you
