Northwest Dive Club

And with you. Always.

I'm in for a future date, just not this weekend. I've been dry for a few months, due to ear/sinus issues. Starting shallow and working deeper is just fine, and I love showing new divers around, so I'll keep you in mind as I start getting back in the water.

"I secretly dive with split fins, an Air2, and an air-integrated console computer."

I think MS stocks weed in the fridge...

Well, this may be discussed to death on internet forums, but it's still a fascinating conversation to have. Even though I'm JAFO, I'm still enjoying the passionate and respectful exchange of ideas.

Carry on!

I don't know what the water temps are like in the Philippines, but in 78-80 degree water, my 3mm Henderson Hyperstretch (which I think is the precursor to the H2) is great, provided I wear a hood. In fact, I'll probably buy a 5mm H2 suit before my next tropical trip. They're really stretchy, so you ...

I can access PMs via TT on my 1st gen Motorola Droid. Although, no one's sent me one recently, so I'm just looking at the archive.

*forever alone*

Great video! I love that song...

Is a snorkeling tour in Friday Harbor with NakNek! Probably not as exciting as diving, but if you have non diving partners, this would be a good intro!

you mean for reasons other than your moonlighting gig.

Thanks everybody! It was a pretty quiet day filled with work, but I got some good treats. There will be a big blowout at the house in the next couple of weeks-you all will of course be invited!

I have the original Motorola Droid. It burns out pretty quick, but I've learned new behaviors to keep it charged. I just looked at aftermarket batteries on Amazon. There's a pretty cool 2800 mAh battery for the Droids, but it makes your phone look like it has a huge tumor on the back. Don't know how...

Anyone that would use that as birth control is an utter idiot...

IED? Uh, IUD?

The most effective and quickest way to alert the moderators about suspicious posts is use the "Report This Post" feature, found on every post and activated with this icon: http://www.nwdiveclub.com/styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_report.gif Is it wrong that I wanted to flag this post?...

Ditto for me-I have 2 different sizes of Turtle fins, one for my wetsuit boots, the other for my drysuit boots.

For those interestred in the 2 gas version TDL is having a sale on them for $229. Thats 50% off. Its the Seiko non-branded version. Great little computer or bottom timer. https://www.techdivinglimited.com/seiko-2-mix-nitrox-computer-p-103229.html Crap, that's a good price. That's only a little more...

I'm in San Francisco, right on the water. Water is expected to hit the high tide mark, but that's about it.

Um, if you want to be a helicopter pilot in Alaska, why are you going to Florida?

Speaking of long hoses... My first dive with a long hose, I routed it under my light canister, across my body, under my left arm, and around my neck. I spent the whole dive wondering why I could turn my head left... Should've actually asked someone how to route it. I have descended multiple times w...

Wow, too bad you saw so many lionfish. I was there just about a year ago and we only saw a couple on some dives up in the National Park. Lauri It is quite upsetting. We didn't see quite the numbers PapaZ did, but I can't think of a single dive where we didn't see at least one. Good reason to carry ...

I could spend my entire vacation just diving Puako, and be thrilled about it. Next time!

sheri who?

I know, right?

Now I'm going to have to tell her to go look at this thread.

BTW, sockmonkey, you'll be pleased to know that I wore the "Han Shot First" teefury shirt to my gig last night. It was very popular.
