Northwest Dive Club

Also, just FYI, reservations at Point Lobos are not that strict. I've never filled cert # of my buddies, never had any problems. They do check your cert card on entry, but may let you in alone granted that you promise to wait for your buddy. I don't know when you last dove at Lobos Vlad, but I was ...

Regarding Monterey dive boats, I can recommend Beachhopper II http://www.beachhopper2.com/, looks like they still have spots for next Friday, tanks can be included into reservation. They do occasionally go to Point Lobos area, but it all depends on conditions, you never know. Regarding shore diving,...

Looks like a great trip! Thanks for sharing!

OMG! Seattle doesn't change. You know, after a year in Nor Cal, I somehow started to miss that rain. The weather was bad last week here, I still went hiking and got reasonably wet and cold, but feel better now. Go figure.

Nice pictures!

Thanks guys!

Sure come over, I'll be glad to join you! Channel Islands are worth a multi-day liveaboard trip, it should be fun.

This was a great trip! Thanks to Tom for letting it out on the board, otherwise I'd never learn about it. Here are some more pictures: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7428/9550064220_4d5be9a3ec_z.jpg Getting used to good viz http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7453/9547274619_524cf07dc3_z.jpg In the Kelp ht...

Okay Vlad, what is the Ghost mouth on the ray? that is CRAZY cool:) :notworthy: can't figure out whats going on in this picture, but i wanna know! Those are natural spots on a body of mostly black manta ray, view from the bottom. There is also remora attached and small jack following the ray near i...

Great pictures, everyone!

This year was quite productive in regard to pictures, here are a few of my favorites:

I would recommend to look at both, Lightroom and Elements. Both of those programs have their usage that doesn't necessary overlap. Lightroom is what you would use 95% of the time for everyday photo management and basic editing, like crop, contrast, brightness, white balance, etc. Lightroom is quite ...

It was great to see everybody and dive with Bob and Valerie! Here are some photos: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7279/7475663822_6d674bb9e5_z.jpg One Grunt Sculpin http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7106/7475664054_bdb12e4f42_z.jpg Two Grunt Sculpin http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8002/7475664200_1e8412175...

Agree with Lynne, #10 is the most striking. Filling the frame with this colorful nudi is quite effective.
All other pictures are quite good too, very nice set! Thanks for sharing!

Anyone is up for real early dive, like 6-8 am? I'm planning to take pictures, it's been a while since I took my camera to Redando.

Several of us will be there at any 7 Vlad - you are welcome to join!

Great! Thanks! I'll be glad to join.

[sarcasm]Vodka powered rebreather???? Only in America they can come up with something as wasteful as this...

I'll bring a watermelon.

I'm planning to be there too.

When are we going? D Now! Wait, I need to get some classes first... And, a new breather, perhaps... And a few deep dives on it... Okay, let's postpone this for a few years. :( Since I see a couple of guns in some of the shots I assume that these are probably WWII wrecks in the Black Sea? Near Sevas...

Good explanation why Pacific Ocean along West Coast is so cold in summer

Found some nice wreck diving photos from one Russian diving forum, enjoy.

And, for those who say "no pictures - didn't happen", and for all others - the pictures! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8162/7399832160_0867a2a31a_z.jpg Diverden http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5080/7399832260_d4c89a3090_z.jpg It's candy stripe season http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5159/739983...

The first dive is around 4:00 and the second one around 6:30. I'm planning to be there too hopefully for both.

I'm planning to stop by and most likely will be up for a real early dive.

Sounds good! I could be up for Monday or Wednesday night!

I'm in, just let's agree where and when. Both days work for me.

This is a two topic issue: First: My DC dry suit exhaust valve needs replaced. Is there any better valve out there? Bare, Apeks or Si Tech? Second: If any of you have a good working exhaust valve laying around and not being used, can money talk? C'mon! Calling all you hoarders! Just recently needed...

Nice, Eric! Thanks for the pictures and for the great company!
