All my dives since becoming OW certified has been from boats.
The only reason being is that I don't have a regular buddy to do any shore dives with. When I go out on the boat, I am either assigned a buddy or I go out with the DM.
Still in search of a regular buddy to go shore diving with - anyone? anyone?
However, that being said, I have found the boat diving to be infinitely easier than my shore diving experiences during OW - no trudging back and forth across the sand, trying to enter and exit without falling over, etc. Of course, the boat diving is much more expensive.
