Hello, I was certified in Oregon in 2003 and am happy to be diving in somewhat warmer waters now. I have been diving regulary since 2006 and most of my dives have been in southern California, though I have been lucky enough to check out a few tropical spots.....Loreto (Baja Mexico), Bonaire, Cozumel, Japan, Costa Rica, Palau, and Truk Lagoon. I would love to meet people to dive with locally and also possibly to warmer waters.
