Northwest Dive Club

I'd love to come but I just can't do it that early. Enjoy y'all!

So much fun! Thanks for coming everyone , waterproofboat for being dive buddy, YellowEye and ScubaJess for the awesome drinks and especially Penelope our fearless leader and club dive organizer and chef extraordinaire! nwdc club dive seacrest 2019-2.jpg nwdc club dive seacrest 2019-1.jpg nwdc club d...

G’Day Folks, Just wanted to connect this original PIF Box thread with a revival of the PIF Box. I will be starting a new one at tomorrow’s Club Dive @ Seacrest. If anyone would like to put anything in or take anything out, please give a shout-out here, so that you can link up with whoever has it in ...

Thanks for the heads up YellowEye and for bringing some extra tanks. I put together a new PIF Box. Everyone is welcome to it and someone should take it with them when they leave to keep it moving along, and to hopefully eventually merge with the original PIF Box. Please feel free to bring any unused...

Oh, I just remembered, is the PIF box coming? Who has it? I’d like to get that going again and have a bunch of stuff to put in it. Maybe we all bring any unwanted gear and start one anew or add to the existing one if someone is bringing it?

Let me know if I should bring some weight for your buddy. I’ve got some assorted amounts we can use.

I am out. Completely forgot my reg hasn’t come back from service. Trying to get it back before the club dive now [emoji27] I can bring a spare reg-set for Thursday or Sunday. What do you need? Din, yoke, primary & octo? I have extras and will config to order! Thanks so much for the kind offer! ...

I will also bring the NWDC t-shirts if anyone is still in need of one. We still have all the sizes I believe. $15 a pop.

I will bring some chips!

Get on the Neti Pot train P! Would love to see you!

Lemme play a little scheduling Tetris for Thursday, hope to make it.

And Calvin, your post makes me sad when I realize I may never get to dive Boulder Alley and environs again... [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26]

Never say never, Tom. I may hear your cheerful singing on that Sound again yet. You still owe me a shocker group pic!

I would like to thank Sir Nic too, he who hails from BOULDER ALLEY!

It’s supposed to be great diving!

Let me know what you find out in researching it, I may follow in your footsteps (or turn up as the third wheel[emoji48]).

Trying to figure out where the PIF Box is and whether we can get it to the Club Dive. Let’s get some movement going on that box-o-sweetness!

Oooh, always wanted to go. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. An instructor I met while in the Caymans (which I consider to be the best place in the Caribbean) said that Saba was his favorite, and he had been spending a year each guiding and teaching on different islands throughout the Caribb...

Where’s the PIF Box currently? Wondering if someone can bring it to the Club Dive Club Dive Club Dive, because I have a bunch of things to put in there.

Another vote of confidence for Don Peterson at Octopus Gardens for reg servicing. I just sent him mine yesterday!

Wow, now I'm intrigued about those sharks! Was it one of these, perhaps a juvenile? What a cool infographic! Well, looking at these shapes I’m unsure still. The spiny dogfish actually has one of the less pointy tails out of those pictured. I’m thinking it definitely wasn’t the basking shark! The co...

The structure was mostly beds of clam shells and some abandoned crab pots and stuff. I saw two enormous tritonia diomedea which was cool, and two sharks of some kind. The first one I thought was a dogfish but I saw one larger one and it’s tail looked a bit too round to be that of a dogfish. With vis...

I did the dive. Lots of great critters but no dungeness big enough to eat.

Slack was also earlier than that NOAA chart, so I had light to moderate current the whole time, but it wasn’t too bad. My best guess is it was off by about a half hour to an hour.

Happy Fourth everyone!

Thanks for this! It’s telling me pretty much what I need to know. And these are night owl friendly slack times!

Crabbing was the general idea...

Anyone happen to know anything about the currents around the location pictured here? Specifically I’m wondering about currents here, as it’s close to the mouth of the canal. Pictured is the Hood Canal Bridge for reference. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190704/58cc2eed325d439b6736c658d35f98e8.jp...
