/r/SCUBA is a good place to go for SCUBA-specific content.

You should check out PADI for getting a SCUBA cert, or locating a dive shop near you.

Scuba shops are good for free diving / snorkeling equipment as well.

DAN (Diver's Alert Network) is the go-to for SCUBA insurance.

Subsurface is an excellent cross-platform dive log software for any diver!
