Hello from Seattle

[BrettSeattle]

Hello everyone, appreciate the community here. I am a warm water diver trying to squeeze in as many dives a year as possible (even though my instructors up here in the Pacific NW say I am missing out, but the water is painfully cold!). First official dive after certification was Cozumel drift dive at Palancar Gardens - unbelievable clarity. Brother said I was spoiled for life. Guess is just means I need to save up for more tropical dives!

Heading to S. Maui and Kauai Northshore end of July. Hope to get in 4-6 dives.

Mahalo! Brett

Welcome to diving and Scubaboard!

You'll find a lot of people on the board who agree with your instructors, but I'm totally with you. I occasionally do the cold water diving around here on the East Coast, but vastly prefer warm water diving. It's totally doable to keep up your diving in nice, warm tropical waters. I agree...Palancar Gardens is gorgeous. I did my AOW there and was spoiled.
