Outside of swimming pool sections we all have done in our training, what type(s) water enviroment have your dives been in today??
 
Not sure if you are asking about check out dives, or dives since being certified. Either way, I've been diving both salt and fresh water.

Saltwater in the Gulf of Mex probably 70%(or more) of the time and freshwater springs and quarries the rest of the time :)
 
Ive done exactly one fresh water dive (in a quarry). OK for training but nor exactly exciting diving - nothing to see.
 
Well, I have done a river dive, several altitude lake dives, and some low level lakes. As far as salt water, I have done everything from Cold water, current, low vis, High Surge dives on 900 foot walls to warm water bathtub dives on the Great Barrier Reef. I tend to avoid overhead, cave, and wreck penetration diving, I need more practice.

I was certified in fresh water, in high altitude. Did several dives in mountain and low altitude lakes throughout Western Canada. Since I moved back to Atlantic Canada, I've been diving almost exclusively in salt water, with the occasional dive in the Saint John River and quarry.
