Advice for getting dives done to start DM program

How 2 get 35 dives fast? Go on a 2-week tropical dive vacation. That alone, if you can dive 12 days should stack up to atleast 36 dives

Is there really no diving in Colorado? My fiancee is looking into post doc's after grad school and Denver was on our list. Are none of the lakes suitable for diving?

I dive them. They aren't very deep, and the visibility is not great.

Colorado is just a plane flight (or two) away from really great diving, though.

Most of the diving around here is at Carter lake, Aurora Res, Chatfield Res, Turquoise lake(?) near Leadville or other high altitude lakes that I am hoping to learn more about. I have been freediving at a lake in Rocky Mountain National Park called Emerald lake but it's a three mile hike with gear so....

Eh, I live in Houston right now and our lakes, well the ones worth diving in, are about 30ft deep max and normally sub 10ft vis. I'd be at home it sounds like. I'm used to crappy conditions and having to travel for good diving so that's no big deal. I just need somewhere to get wet when I can't travel for diving.

Ok, Denver is back on our list!

You'll feel right at home--and just contact me and I'll do the dives with you.
