Where are ya? Issaquah? There's a lot of fine places to learn to dive up there. You just have to hone down the area. You're not missing anything - check out a bunch of shops and see which one has the best vibe.Seattle8789:I am looking for a place to get certified in the Seattle area. There is a store near my house called 5th Dimension. I have asked around local dive sites and stores and everyone tells me to stay away from this place. They seem like a decent operation, what am I missing here?
