Here are some really useful links:
PADI is the Professional Association of Dive Instructors and a resource for all your recreational diving needs:
Divers Alert Network is a non profit organization that is dedicated to the wellbeing of divers through training and insurance. No diver should dive without DAN insurance and the backup of the DAN diver support network
PLEASE take some time to look at Scott Boyd's Emerald Sea Photography site. There are several good reasons as it is not only a great site for amazing pictures from the Pacific Northwest and all over the world, but Scott has also co-authored a definitive guide to diving the wrecks of the Pacific Northwest, NORTHWEST WRECK DIVES.
For tech diving training in the Pacific Northwest I do not hesitate to say that you should contact Jeff Waugh of EXTREME UNDERWATER. Jeff is without doubt the most comprehensive and knowledgeable instructor that I have ever had the opportunity to train with.
You cannot beat diving in the HOOD CANAL in Washington, all the PNW PIC's that you see in the tab come from that area. The best place to get advice, air and great service is the HOODSPORT AND DIVE STORE in Hoodsport. Ron can fix anything and tell you anything that you want to know about the history of diving.
Lady divers please take a look at the link below for LADY DIVER MAGAZINE. This is a great site and magazine. Karma Jewel Crampton is a great diver and someone that I have met through my diving in San Diego. I am sure that we could get a piece on diving in AZ in the magazine if you wanted to.
Diving in Texas?
Here are some useful links:
American Divers for trips to the oil rigs and Texas Clipper out of South Pardre Island. Good team of people good boat.
Scubaland Adventures in Austin. John Linsey is the manager at the store and he is a wealth of knowledge about local and coastal diving. The shop is clean, neat, tidy and welcoming
