I only dived Monterey one time, but the kelp forests there were amazing.
Enjoy!

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you in January but glad to hear that you still enjoyed yourself and had a great birthday. Best of luck to you though in your upcoming certification dives! You'll do great.

@BikerBecca A much delayed welcome but hello and welcome! I'm also from the San Francisco area.

Congratulations on pursuing a dream of yours. We can't wait for you to share the good news with us come May 1st!

Sorry to hear Hawaii didn't work out -- but getting certified in your future local dive conditions will be awesome!

I'm crossing my fingers that conditions are good for you. This fall, winter & early spring has seen many of my planned dive weekends blown out. However, I am optimistic that the weather has now turned and we wont get many more storms. You may want to keep an eye on dive conditions: I use the following link:
Dive Conditions & More | Aquarius Dive Shop

If conditions look very bad, hopefully you can reschedule with your instructor and the hotel if necessary.

Good luck and say hey to the seals and sea lions!

Thanks for that link. That's awesome! I will certainly keep an eye on it.

I'm so excited about next weekend and finally getting certified. I grew up on Long Island and spent all my time in the ocean and on boats but never got certified. I'm finally realizing this decades long dream. I'll be sure to tell the sea lions you said Hi!

Thanks again,
Becca

Welcome @BikerBecca!

Good luck with your class!
I am also a newbie even though I was certified almost a year ago.

It's tough for me to find a buddy since I am new and want to take things slow: my friends are mostly pro and usually try to get me to tougher locations

Great to see someone my skill level joining the community! )

Sorry getting your cert in Hawaii didn't work out for you, but DON'T give up!! It sounds like you are well on your way to getting certified.
