Northwest Dive Club

Guess I should have read a little farther down the list.

Thanks.

Anyone use one of these suits? What do you think of it? Does it seem pretty rugged?

Nick

What's the differences between the Ultra flex suit and the Z-flex? I don't see the Z-flex on the website at all.

Nick

Way to go Calvin!

Nick

Well, I think the cold I picked up is getting the better of me for now. So, I'm going to come up for the weekend, but I'm not going to dive. #-o I could probably get by using sudafed or something, but i'd rather not chance it. [-X Maverick, I'll get the drinks like you suggested. I think nicediver d...

That's cool. I'm not ready to fork over the dough for one yet anyway. I'm still looking into what's out there. And I was just playing about the discount.

Nick

The guy from Diving Concepts finally left a message for me, there are two dealers here in town.

Pinkpadigal...if I buy from you, do I get a NWDC discount?

Is anything else needed food-wise? I haven't volunteered to bring anything yet. If nothing else I can bring some chips and munchies to share.

Nick (hoping his cold doesn't stop him from diving) ](*,)

Any of you other Portlanders know? I haven't been able to find anything looking online. I even called DC, but no one answered the phone.

Nick

How does the UltraFlex Pro stack up against some of the other suits? Do you have any available for rent so i might try one?

Does anyone know who the portland/vancouver area dealers are for DC drysuits? I tried the webpage, but got a could not load message. I got the same thing a week or so ago.

Thanks.
Nick

Yeah John, that was me. And I'm still in that wetsuit.

Yummm!!

Welcome to the group Shawn. You may not remember me, but we've been out diving together before. It was you and me and John Rawlings on Brian Fix's boat. We went out of Tacoma, did KVI Towers and one other dive I think. Maybe one of these days we can hook up and do it again.

Nick

I got to 29 before I got stuck. I hate that.

Nick

Happy Birthday! Hope its a good one.

Nick

anyone know if there's a warmth difference? Or is the amount of material they use fo the layers not enough to make a difference?

Nick

Welcome! Glad to see someone else from Oregon join.

Nick

I was looking at the DUI drysuits, and they have two different kinds of trilam material they use, nylon/butyl rubber and polyester/butyl rubber. What's the difference? anyone know? I looked at the website, but couldn't find anything.

Nick

Hey all, I'm kind of looking around at drysuits, and started looking at undergarments. WHich is generally warmer under a drysuit: polypropylene or a polyester garment? Which wicks moisture better? Any thoughts?

Nick

It seems I remember being told if you had to barf underwater, to just do it through your regulator. That way you don't suck in a bunch of water after you blow. however, I've never done it, so don't know if that's right or not.

Nick

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you have lots of turkey!

nick

Sorry should have been more clear, I meant the semi-sub. I've seen it going both directions on the river, near the I-5 bridge.

Nick

nice job. I've seen a ship that looked like that on the Columbia River down here in portland. wonder what they're really supposed to be used for.

Nick

So I dove Sund Rock yesterday with some friends of mine. I had a couple of really nice dives. The first dive was the south wall. We walked the short trail over to the little beach then swam to the point and descended there. The vis was kind of murcky till about 25-30 ft. then it cleared up to a resp...
