Re: Dive Port Townsend, 4/20 or 4/21
I didn't see this until today. I've never dived at PT, I'd be up for diving with you sometime if we planned it ahead of time. I want to do all those sites!

Re: Epic Underwater Finds: What did you Discover today?
Scott! I didn't know the Tacoma Bottle King was on NWDC! We dove together at Mukilteo a while back and recovered an anchor. I want to come down and dive the Columbia one of these days.

Re: My side mount kit will soon be here
I agree, pockets are something (thigh and butt) that the SCUBA industry treats like they are gold plated. Years ago my wife wanted to learn to sew, and bought a nice sewing machine. She used it twice, and now I use it to make dive gear, so I just sewed up a pouch to the spec's I wanted for about $10...

Re: My side mount kit will soon be here
Ok, so the wing is part of the harness, interesting. It looks like a pretty comfortable setup. Unless you are planning on doing technical dives (or you breathe REALLY fast), those tanks are overkill and heavy. A lot of PNW SM divers use old steel 72's because they are relatively light (and cheap!) b...

Re: My side mount kit will soon be here
Huh, It's hard to tell from the picture I can find, is the Ray Wing part of the harness, or is it independent? Look like a nice setup for cold water diving.
What tanks are you using?

EDS 2023 Scuba With Santa
Evergreen Dive Service in Everett put on a Discover Scuba with Santa pictures in December. OystercoveMatt was just enjoying the lack of a drysuit. Working on convincing his little sister to get certified, but she had a blast in the pool, and her buoyancy was great after she got comfortable. Happy Ho...

Re: South Sound Diving
It's the west side of Harstine Island, just north of Shelton. Not exactly a diving destination, mostly mud and a few lost crab traps and buoy's for structure. We dive it out of convenience mostly.

South Sound Diving

Vis was uncharacteristically good for our area, you could scooter without worrying about hitting anything for a change! Not much for interesting critters, this weekend...

Re: T-Handle for BlackTip DPV?
There is a reason why scooters have a Deadman switch. If you've ever had an unintentional start you know it's not fun. I made a hard turn and a piece of floating line I could not see until I was on top of it got trapped on the trigger, smashing my fingers downso I could not let go. The line was tied...

Re: T-Handle for BlackTip DPV?
The best place to find information regarding Dive X scooter retrofits is the Dive Xtras X-Scooter Group on facebook. No experience with the T-handle but you can modify the firmware. This can give you cruise control and a few other options to make piloting it easier. CC would allow you to just switch...

Re: What is this and why is it attacking me?
I'm not sure but I saw one about 2x that size on Sunday. Same behavior too, I thought it was dead, then it took off! I think I got some video, but my mask was flooding while I was trying to shoot, so I doubt it's very good.

Welcome to the PNW! Lighthouse diving in Lynnwood (really the south end of Mukilteo) is open 7 days a week, as is YSS over in Hoodsport, I think most UWS locations are open on Mondays. Off the Hook in Olympia is open Mondays and Sundays. If you are looking for used tanks and have a Facebook account,...

Re: New to WA - Looking for Dive Buddies
This next week is a little crazy for me so I'm not diving, but I'm usually up for a Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon dive at Mukilteo or Edmonds, hit me up if you'd like to go for a dive.

Re: Replacing Wrist Seals
You can do that (leave the old seal) but I've found it breaks down over time and then you get leaks that are pain to find and fix. Fine a piece of pipe that fits through the wrist pretty snugly. (I've used 3" PVC with good success, if it's too small, wrap is with cardboard to get a little more ...
