Northwest Dive Club

Really nice. Not that I've been that many places but I've had a great time both times I went to Cozumel. Do you remember what the site was where you found the seahorse. That's so cool. Oddly enough, we found the seahorse right in front of our lodge at Scuba Club. Others on the trip reported finding...

Buenos Dias! Just got back late Saturday from my first trip to Cozumel. One word? INCREDIBLE!!! Great people, good food, and spectacular diving! While there, along with shore dives and boat dives, we also ferried to the mainland dove a cenote (Angelita near Playa del Carmen), a cavern (Gran Cenote) ...

So where in Oregon are you? There's lots of divers in the Portland area or in Salem (where I'm from) too.

Beautiful video - thank you very much for sharing. Living down south in Salem I don't get up to the Sound near as often as I would like, as such, I really appreciate all the trip reports people post here. The dive recap section is my favorite on this site.

I wholeheartedly second that - THANK YOU!!!

If you scope out some good sites maybe I can make it down for a road trip sometime .

Hi So.Oregon and welcome from another Oregonian. I'm even further (slightly) away than Aaron, but might be up for a road trip too.

Welcome to NWDC and to diving.

Hows this for an incentive for people to vote. What if AFTER voting your television were somehow screened of all political adds! Not sure why but the adds have been particularly nasty and annoying this year!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: Oh yeah, do get out and vote!!! You cant complain if you don't! :a...

Welcome to another Oregonian. Cool shot of the Salmon!

Great video especially with the HD selected! Did I read somewhere that you use the Canon Vixia?

Great article and beautiful photo's. I particularly like the photo of the Longfin Sculpin.

Works well on my blackberry storm, cool tool, nice job! Dumb question time: So can I take the cubic ft per minute calculation and multiply it by the CF of a different bottle and come up with a theoretical air time for that bottle? In other words if I have .75 cf/min consumption rate and have a 13cf ...

I've been reading trip and other reports regarding the low O2 in the Canal; the fish die off, the stressed and struggling animals fighting to survive. It's all very disturbing and disheartening and I've not even had the dive opportunity to see it first hand. I'm wondering if anyone has thought of po...

Mari, Welcome to the board and welcome to Oregon - (and re: the gorgeous viz in your video - so sorry for your loss!) :) Oregon doesn't have near the shore dives our friends farther north have but here's a link. http://www.shorediving.com/Earth/USA_West/Oregon/index.htm We do have some great boat di...

ABSOTIVELY WORLD CLASS VIDEOS! Wow!!! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful video. What a way to introduce yourself. :smt038

I had the pleasure of meeting John for the first time last weekend at cove 2; coincidental and unrelated to meeting John, I bought the DAN master plan earlier this week. Thanks for posting this excellent article. It's a great reality check.

Hey Matt, congrats from another Salemite. There are a lot of us that travel up from Salem to the Sound on a fairly regular basis, we should partner up soon. BTW, Josh and John - It was great to meet you guy's Saturday morning. John, thanks for dive brief on Cove 2 and we found the octo under Honey B...

Your avatar's priceless ...

... Bob (Grateful Diver)

Isn't that picture a hoot!? Almost as good as your avatar Bob

Brilliant detail! Is that a 12 mega pixel?

With a name like "spudgunman" sounds like you already have one interesting past-time! So, do you have a spudgun model that will work under water yet?
- you at least have the advantage of living in some of the best diving in the PNW!

Welcome!

I'd buy another Fusion, pretty much without hesitation, and especially if I had bigger feet. I love my Fusion, and it's been remarkably dry and trouble-free. With the Lycra skin and X-shorts, you save several hundred dollars over the more expensive skins, and get better pockets. You get a light sui...

That's gorgeous! I've worked with wood most of my life, and even though I can do some pretty nice millwork once in a while, I'm by no means a real woodworker- I'm always very impressed by work like yours, because I have a pretty good grasp of what it takes in terms of skill, patience, and time. I'v...

Welcome to the board from another "Salem-ite"; there are several of us on here. I've taken my classes and purchased most of my gear from Salem Scuba and highly recommend them. Keep me posted on your certification as there are quite a bunch from Salem that make frequent trips to the sound o...

Let me know how "getting back into it" works for you! I haven't finished a guitar since I started diving! :angry:

Quilted bubinga? Really? I'm attaching a picture of a 12 string acoustic I built a few years ago with some highly figured bubinga: while it's a gorgeous wood it's also hard to work with because the figure wants to move the wood around with change of humidity and temperature. I don't know, but I woul...
