New to Scuba Diving

[Hannah Chan]

I am new to this. I just got my Open Water cert in August and I absolutely love diving. Eventually I plan on taking the advance dive course. I live in San Francisco and was wondering if anyone can recommend some good dive places within the bay area.

thanks.

Hi Hannah and welcome to ScubaBoard! Sorry, I can't help you with shops but there are plenty of people here I am sure will help you out!

Hey Hannah, I'm a little too far to the south in Santa Barbara to help you out w/ the dive shops/sites but if you visit the Norcal Section of the CA Kelp Divers Forum http://scubaboard.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87 the local divers should be able to point you in the right direction.

Congrats on getting your open water cert.

Dive Safe and Dive Often.

Welcome to ScubaBoard! :happywave

I second sb_diver's recommendation for the NorCal section of the California Kelp Divers forum.

Don't forget to fill out your profile and dive info, so that we can add context to your future posts. Also, once we know where you are geographically from your profile, you may find that you'll have a whole bunch of new dive buddies to choose from locally.

Dive safe!

P.S. Due to the high volume of new posts in the Introductions and Greets forum, it's not always possible to keep up with all the new posts here. So, please help me out and send me a PM if you post anything you want me to read or repsond to in this forum.

Hannah,

A few of my favorites are Salt Point/Gerstle Cove and Pt. Lobos in Monterey.
Enjoy diving and Happy Bubbles!
