Northwest Dive Club

I like puppies and ice cream

Where's Mongo?- he's due for a MMM dive too!

MMM! wow- it's been waaay too long since we had a full on MMM extravaganza.

You can count me in- PLUS, I'll buy a bowl of peanuts for the table to share at dive 3. Generous, I know.

Mace Windu's discipline of Vaapad is my favorite for the same reason I like UTD- it takes you into the penumbra of the darkside.

Looks like Nwbrewer is out for dive 1, so if anyone is interested in joining me at 4 ish for dive 1, post up or I might not show until dive 2.

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms with this comment. I've seen at least two people in this thread comment that Enriched Levels of O2 have helped them curb the effects of Nitrogen Narcosis, and I wanted to throw out that I do not. To be honest I believe I am more susceptible to Narcosis when I d...

Costume designer for episodes 1-3.

Everybody knows that one.

When I've been narked and aware of it, I would not describe my sensation in terms of numbers of beers. My best description of how I feel is like the "dazed and stunned" feeling I got as a kid after I fell off the monkey bars and hit the ground too hard. I associate the paranoid or "da...

OK, I don't obsess about it I was just wondering mostly because it is what it is. I skimmed over the suggested reading and plan to sit down and read it carefully later, thanks for the link. I'm very comfortable in the water, I like to mosey, but need work on my trim so I struggle with the last 1500...

Don't obsess about the number -- just use it to make sure you have the gas you need for the dive you intend to do. +1 on that point. just like MPG in your car, less is always better, but unlike gasoline consumption, using more doesn't cost you more. Use what you need for getting the CO2 out of your...

crappy is right- except for that opening shot of you on the scoot. after that the videography pretty much went down the drain

Yep, I do have a pretty good idea where you're going and what your state of mind is.

very, very cool richard! thanks for posting the vid.

YMMV- Your mileage may vary- in other words, you can get an AOW class that is good or not. Collecting certs is not the same as being the best diver you can be. If your main goal is to be a certified instructor, well, you have to collect the right certs to get there. If your goal is to be the best di...

I would like to get this done to open up my depth and the fact that I will be Diving at night alot due to my schedule. I figure if I am going out and already doing dives that would count towards my 5 dives i should be getting credit I've never taken an AOW class, but from what I understand there's ...

Last week I had a neck seal failure, so this week I was looking forward to a nice, warm dry dive in my fixed suit with brand new socks that came Friday from DRIS. Of course it was when I put my feet in the suit that I realized that I had neglected to dry out the water that leaked in last week. As th...

I'm a maybe on dive 1 and out for dive 2 and 3. Crappy life gets in the way of diving...
