hello fellow fish, new to the board and pretty new to scuba.
i got my cert right as the world came to a stop and it has been very nice being able to run away to the lake to get away from everything looking forward to bending all your ears as i will have tons of what i assume are very dumb questions lol

Welcome! My husband and I also got certified shortly before the pandemic. (October 2019) We managed to get one more trip in before the world shut down. Fortunately things are opening back up and travel is a bit easier (for now), so we've made several trips in the last 9 months.

Ask all of your questions! Most people here are very helpful and there is always something new to be learned.

Welcome. It's opened back up enough that there are good places you can go for dive trips, albeit with a little extra drama (such as COVID-19 testing and wearing masks in airports and on planes).

I haven't been to Hawaii. Take advantage of the opportunity and read up a bit on their fish life in advance, as they have endemic species to enjoy. A buddy went and came back with a bunch of photos, including of huge cooled lava masses. Looked like a beautify place.

Not at all. Take your time and experiment with some equipment. This forum is a great site for diving without spending large amounts of money,
