Northwest Dive Club

Bob...

Definitely going to do whatever's needed to attend this one. I missed the one at Tacoma Scuba...and you've now made it on my "list of things to do before I die"...so I need to be there!

Thanks in advance for providing this workshop. Hugely needed...

Thanks guys. And I encourage you to check the website, if you're interested, as the changes are happening daily. Townsend Bay Dive Center came aboard as a participating dive center yesterday (Only 7 spots left) and also put together a mask, snorkel & fin package, retailing for $199...they will b...

John, Yes, this event is for men and women. Breast Cancer strikes everyone...though more women actually GET the disease, one of the speakers at the auction is a male diver, currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, who cannot dive due to the disease. It also affects the patients family and f...

Wow...things are happening so fast with Dive for the Cure. Exciting, scary...and it's all "real" now... The initial site is up...one that I can update myself. With a more elaborate redo scheduled for mid-July as more sponsors come on board. www.diveforthecure.com The invites will go out on...

Penelope...

Welcome to the Board.

Would love to dive with you at some point...usually available at least one day per week... but often, that's a weekday.

Happy Diving!!

Sorry I missed you all...got caught up with a customer.

Hopefully, at some point, I'll get a chance to meet you all...

Just wanted to post an update. Dive for the Cure is going FULLY non-profit. Depending on the success of this years efforts, we are planning to add Hawaii and New Jersey to next years itenerary. To be able to better serve the tax paying public, we will be working through the MOUNDS of paperwork that ...

I don't get off of work until 7...but wouldn't mind joining in the pizza after...so I can put names with faces, y'know.

Would put me up in Seattle, right about the time you're surfacing...

Hi Aimee...and welcome to the Club!

Interesting....

Odd....

Wow...if something were found to correlate diving with increased overall lung health...there'd be a new way to "sell" our sport. Janna...it makes me want to go and take a lung test. I think that I took one several years ago...right before I started diving. May find out...and if so, there w...

I got my mask at TLSea in Des Moines...they can special order for you so you can select color. I believe that Sound Dive in Bremerton is also a dealer, and they have a tank there that you can get the full effect from. If you'd like to try mine out, I would be willing to loan it to you...sorry I have...

Heading to Nanaimo this weekend for some wreck diving with Divers Choice.

Will give a full review when I return. Have dove with them before (very nice)...but we all know that operations change, so will give an up to date review.

Anyone else from the board headed north this weekend?

I dive the HydroOptix mask. I wasn't impressed in the pool either. But the first time that I dove it in the Sound...I was hooked. I dive with my contacts (have to take them out to use the Hydro Mask) so I've never had "blurred" vision underwater. But WOW...the best way that I can describe ...

So this morning, snowflakes were falling. I was thinking about my weekend plans in Canada wreck diving. Yeah, sounded like a great idea when I booked the trip...love those wrecks! But as I watched the white flurries and walked through the frigid cold I made my 2008 New Years Resolution : March means...

This issue has been a long standing problem for the entire industry in this state. If you look at Colorado (the largest concentration of divers in any inland state) as an example, the stores got together there and found a way to promote scuba...TOGETHER. That's been highly profitable for everyone......

Also...thanks to the volunteers that have come forward so far. I definitely CAN'T pull this one off alone. I have an amazing auction chairperson, with experience, who has stepped up to coordinate the Saturday evening activities...THANK YOU. I have a detail oriented, professional in the industry for ...

As the event in San Diego is requiring alot more "hoops" to jump through...I'm announcing the date for Seattle. The weekend events for Dive for the Cure 2007 will be as follows: Friday, Oct. 5 - 20 non-divers will participate in pool sessions with their instructors. These divers will make ...

I think that Tacoma Scuba is going to be offering a seminar for those interested in Underwater Hunting. (I know that I'm in the middle of a PowerPoint presentation for them on Underwater Hunting) They are getting all geared up for Ling Season... And the cool thing is...they are all about not taking ...

Depending on when you're there...we're holding Dive for the Cure -San Diego on one of the weekends in October. I know it's not the first one...that's tentatively here...but right now working through the protocol with City of SD to reserve site. Great wreck diving there...and the kelp diving...very c...

I took Valeries seminar a couple years ago...WELL WORTH IT!!! I had absolutely NO interest in bottles (just attended to be nice) and WOW!!! I learned soooo much and really got interested in the bottles that I see under the water. If you haven't seen this...even if you have NO interest in bottles...d...

Dave,

Thanks for the report...I've heard great things about Mel.

Looking forward to meeting her someday soon!

Have a great time, um, NOT blowing bubbles!

Apollo Drysuit - Size Large. Worn 3 times for 5 total dives. New in August. All seals and zipper are perfect (yeah, how could they not be with no wear...) Retail $1600....NOW....$650 Tusa Imprex Pro BCD - Size Large - Rear Inflate, Awesome D-ring's...and weight pockets that won't accidentally come o...

Yeah...it's Randy alright...

Ran into him at Tacoma Scuba the other day...and he revealed his "new identity" to me. Apparently, his old "identity" had some malfunctions.

Welcome RDW....

As in a previous post on this thread: Then for both men and women...(they need to be already certified) we're working on a Women In Diving program that will be allow both men and women to do a dive program that will still hold a bit of a challenge in it. More details on this one as it evolves..but i...
