I am not a female but have you considered local diving?
"Cold" water diving is not as bad as it seems and you can certainly do day trips to save money. RI, Long Island, NJ and lots of fresh water lakes and ponds come to mind. I see you are from Rochester - St Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes have some great diving...
This is a cheap as it gets.... :-)

I honestly haven’t considered cold waters since, what I refer to as, "my check out dives from hell". Now I can laugh. Back then, not so much. Where and when you may ask? Seneca Lake (NY Finger lake) in beginning of March!! What brain-trust came up with that plan, I couldn’t tell you. The Instructor actually had to break the ice for us to get in, with our 1990’s neoprene rental gear mind you, and we stepped into the iced waters of hell. Or polar opposite of hell, but you get the gist. With a constant ice cream headache, somehow I made it through and, since, have had my heart and dive bubbles firmly planted on tropical diving. But, I did do quite a few dives off Catalina Island (CA) which I really enjoyed, albeit in the summer. In California. : )
But, I am really itching to get a lot more diving in so I welcome your input, experiences, and suggestions. I am definitely looking for more wildlife though, not a fan of barren wreck diving. Thanks for your response!

Jennifer, I am located in central Florida. If you are ever in area contact me. I frequently dive the springs, water temp is 71 degrees year round. I do enjoy diving throughout, the keys are my favorite, I do have a bucket list for the east coast which includes diving of Jupiter with the giant groupers. Mike let me know if you are interested in joining in. Jennifer if you are interested in ocean, or gulf diving let me know.

I recently certified in Ohio in June and finished my AOL in Bonaire in November. Like you, I don’t care for cold water diving. I would be interested in diving on East Coast of Florida at end of February, beginning of March.

Jennifer, would love to plan a trip with you sometime. Sounds like we’d be pretty compatible, diving-wise.
I too am based in central New York and always itching for a trip to warmer weather. Right now I’m planning a fall 2017 trip to the Red Sea (because I’ll already be in Europe for a few months around then), but in 2018 would be great to do something closer. Maybe back to the Caribbean. Would like to visit Bonaire.
