I love diving, and went with Seattle Scuba to do the Cold Water orientation, and then the Drysuit and then the Advance Open Water - I've been diving in different places before, but always at a cozy >20C, so this a great new experience. And to everyone who is in doubt whether cold-water diving is worth it compared to tropical diving - go try it!
The Instructors are all excellent, and clearly love what they do, I can absolutely recommend the school. During the AOW one of the instructors was out, so the setup was somewhat sub-optimal with 7 students and only 3 instructors - we had to alternate groups, leading to quite long days and a bit shorter dives than I would have expected.
In the end, I went on an additional two dives with the owner, Cathy - which were awesome and more than made up for it though.
[Plus- the baffled look of people passing by on a rainy day, asking whether you are really going into dive in this nasty weather, and then realizing that, to a diver in a drysuit, a bit of Seattle rain really doesn't make much of a difference... is just priceless :D] - via
