I really liked diving Puget Sound, yes, it is cold, viz is only so so, but the PNW has its own unique critters.

My girlfriend's daughter used to live in Portland, OR. I dove Seattle a few times while visiting, so my info is only so accurate. I heard viz was better in Winter/Spring, due to algae blooms in the Summer, I am not sure about Fall. I used Bandito Charters, really liked them, but trying to schedule a dive when I was a party of one during the week just didn't work out, weekends, no problem. I also shore dove with some divers from SingleDivers.com, I don't see those particular people on the site anymore, but I believe that there are other active members in that area.

Thanks for the info. Bandito was recommended by others as well. What I got from callin gcive shops (sales pitch aside) is that it is pretty consitent all year. I guess they don't depend on a lot of tourist divers. I found a few other boats, but it seems that weekends is the rule!
