Northwest Dive Club

The ratio was 1:1 student to instructor/divemaster. There was a silt cloud that occured...thus student was lost in the silt cloud...you all know how those silt cloud take the viz from 40' to 0' in seconds! All the instructors and divemasters did textbook rescue procedures during this whole process. ...

I went diving Thursday night and accidently forgot to load up my husband's mat he puts on the ground behind our Denali. I was parked in the parallel spots next to the paid parking..if anyone happened to pick it up, please let me know! I really don't want to have to go buy another one!

I am sorry to hear of your loss KTB....!

there was also an 'accident' at Redondo this morning. A guy was walking up the stairs after the dive and dropped from a heart attack. Not sure if he made it or not...we got there after they took him away, but the police were still there getting his van. Not a good way to start the new year!!!

the silver haired guy is my friend Scott. He helped pull the guy out of the water...they aren't sure if the one guy they were talking to is the diver's buddy or not..he wouldn't confirm...

We were there for TLC's first annual Poker Run (Dive)..yes our group had the scooters that silted everyone out..Sorry!!! We were all zipping around trying to read papers attached to items then get the best poker hand on the surface....I'm glad everyone had fun..sounds like the Turkey Run was a blast...

If they are up for a night dive..do Black Rock at Ka'anapali Beach. Start on the North side and work your way around to the South side...the animal life there is amazing and very fun to watch. The greatest depth is 40'. We did this dive twice, once during the day and once at night. Forego Molokini c...

Our friend and fellow club member, DuskWolf (Dave Nansel) is cutting his hair that has taken 24 years to grow for a worthy cause, Special Olympics of Nebraska, tonight at TLSea in Des Moines. The event starts at 6:30 and you can buy a raffle ticket to be the first to make that final cut. Come join u...

TLSea in Des Moines...they are like family to us now! Lots of fun activities, great air fills and equipment, very knowledgeable staff...and just a great place to hang! LOL

A baby seal washed up on Redondo beach during our OW class...as we went over to check it out we noticed it was injured. So we called all sorts of numbers to try and report it and no one was home! Left a message on the Marine Mammel hotline that they claim is checked daily from dawn to dusk but don't...

i've only heard awesome reports about Truth Aquatics that leaves from Ventura .....so if you happen to be up in that area...

Amazing pictures, Greg! Thanks for sharing! Great for having my kids use to identify marine life...lol!

you could come to Les Davies for DUI Dog Days.....plenty of dive buddies there...lol

My husband and I are 'sponsering' this event thru our dive club TLSea so if anyone would like to join us...come on down (or up depending on where you are...lol). We will hopefully dive from Doe Island Resort for 2 shore dives on Saturday..otherwise...it's a free for all...haha...if anyone knows of o...

My 8 year old just did her first Bubblemakers dive with TLSea this past week. She used an x-small BCD and a small tank. She stayed in the shallow end of the pool and didn't do any 'skills'..that is reserved for Seal teams. She absolutely loved it. And yes, you have to be 8 to start..she was bugging ...

If you want safe though, move more towards Federal Way by the freeway or up by the airport...this area of hwy 99 is not know for its 'safety"....try some of the hotels by the airport....

Now y'all know why I live TLSea!!! They are the best, most knowledgeable and friendliest dive center I know!!! (and no they aren't paying me for this! haha!) Trux and Lavonne Rock!!!

Scott: I'm kinda in your boat...found out a good close friend of mine died Friday morning from electrocution leaving a wife and two small kids behind.....kinda ruins the day ya know!

Where is this!!! Wow..there's tons!!!

If it is live then why everytime I sign on...the same fish swims by at the exact same time...LOL

FYI..I got mine for $30 at a dive center....

Happy Birthday, Chuck! Thanks for welcoming me to the last club dive at Redondo!!

this gives me all the more reason to take that Rescue course! I want it to become automatic if I ever come across a diver in trouble.....

My prayers also go out to the family and friends...
My husband left at around 4:30 from there....I'm sure he saw them go in the water..he actually spoke to some 'older' divers b4 they went in wishing them a good dive...
this sucks!

TLSea is going to Loreto in September I believe...it is about $800 if I remember correctly...haven't checked into it yet, but that could be an option too....
