Northwest Dive Club

If you all don't mind a newer diver (38 dives since January), I'd be up for the Cove 2 dive... I'm in Portland, but can be up there by 9... probably can only do 2 dives, since I have to be back in Pdx by 6ish.

Let me know...

Golem wing are some of the toughest well made wings I have ever used. That said I found the singles wing to be way to big for a single 7" tank. The Golem 35lb single wing I used was closer to the size of my doubles wings than the singles wing's I have experience with in the same lift capacity....

I got to dive a backplate/wing rig (DSS Hog Set-up) over the weekend and fell in love... luckily the Family Finance Committee (Oregondiver) has approved the expenditure of scuba credits on a new rig. I've been chatting up a few folks and Golem Gear recieved high marks for quality and customer servic...

I was there and it was AWESOME!

What a great day for my first club dive... thanks to the organizers for putting it together and for ordering the great weather. Special thanks to Liz for letting me use her backplate/wing and weight harness... it worked great!

On another subject....some fabulous man (Grateful) loaned me his backplate at my first club dive a few years ago....and nowi dive one. Does anyone have a bp/w (and weight harness or pockets) that funkydiver could try out? He was insistent he didn't want bp when he started diving in january, but now...

We prefer to use the term "hijinx" in the Funk Household...

It's really a more appropriate term for what we get ourselves into...

Well first off I would empty the cheese from my bacon Margarita mug http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyyr16NV9g1qzvnxpo1_500.jpg Then you replace some of Dougs ingredients with bacon and bacon bits and VIOLA! OMG... I believe I've just seen heaven and it's a baconmug filled with cheese... :burntch...

Yes he would

Spend the money and cry once - not two or three times like I did. :crybaby: Buy the dry suit and take the dry suit class as part of your OW certification dives. This is quite common and most instructors recommend this for those who don't tolerate the cold. I was always cold until I got the dry suit...

Just relax, breathe normally and have fun blowing bubbles...

Welcome! But can you "get down" like this while underwater? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qchPLaiKocI[/youtube] Shell does have the red suit. I will encourage her to be Kool and I'll be The Gang and we'll boogie oogie at the Honey Bear I look forward to seeing you at the Club Di...

hey welcome to the club, I'm a fairly new diver myself and have really found this forum a big help in getting involved with my local dive community. I live in monroe Wa. but if your ever up this way don't hesitate to 'holler out' congrats on getting your OW. Now get wet! S. :supz: Thanks, I will fo...

If we aren't on our road trip, then I am in (I will let funkydiver reply for himself!) :seesaw: I'm in for the 28th... I'm hoping to have a couple of dives in before that, so I'm not such a raw newbie... just a plain ole newbie. :binkybaby: Hey, I've been informed that the wife is doing a boat dive...

Hi everyone,

I passed my Open Water Certification last weekend , so I figured it was time to get out there and meet some local divers (besides my wife ).

See you in the water!
