Guess it depends on where you live. If you are in Seattle and can get to NW Sports Divers that would be my first recommendation.

Down in Federal Way there is an excellent shop.
Redmond has 5th Dimension.
There is also a new shop in Mukilteo.
Dive training - thats up to you and what style you want to dive. I personally like the instruction style of Bob - Grateful Diver. You can PM here, but don't expect an answer for a few days. The guys at NW Sports Divers are very good.
Hope that helps.
