Northwest Dive Club

Too early for costs. Still need to get venues, budgets and corporate sponsorships set up.

Right now we're basically looking for PEOPLE to help organize the event. It's way to big for just me.

As more info becomes available, local dive centers and all scuba boards will receive it.

Yes... And more info will be coming out on that. Basically, there will be two areas that will be female specific... For non-divers... Discover Scuba - involving a pool session and then an Open Water Discover Scuba dive at the event. Certification Dive - female teams will go through a participating d...

Oh...and as far as Committees...

We realize that there are many men who have been affected by this disease...so we welcome men on the committees.

Just realize, we're going to be eating chocolate at meetings...

The planning has begun for Dive For the Cure 2007. This event is the first of it's kind in the world and will be held in both Seattle and San Diego to raise awareness and monies for Breast Cancer. The goal is to see 100 women in the water to raise money...though this is not a female specific event a...

Janna...

YES!! Thanks... I get so excited about this I get all confused!

Wednesday, Feb. 7th...

Umm...today!

Just a reminder for any who are interested... Tomorrow (Wednesday, Feb. 5) is the first official dive for the club...and ABSOLUTELY FREE AND WITHOUT OBLIGATION. We'll meet at 6:00 pm for a dive at Les Davis with a rendezvous at Katy Downs for after dive festivities. If you can't make the dive, feel ...

Yeah, not really.

Hey, just got an email from a gal in Jersey that wants to set up a "It's a Girl Dive" club there.

This is cool!!

Debbie..

You know that this whole thing is happening because we never get to dive together, dontcha???

And Brian told me Wednesdays were good for you.

Cera, Thanks for the comment. Starting in March, I want to have one weekend dive per month as well. Maybe make a whole day of diving with an activity as well. This all came about kinda suddenly, and while I'm going to be "coordinating"...I definitely want to go with the input of the women ...

New dive club in the area. This one was created due to requests, mostly from newer female divers wanting to dive more, and find "veteran" female divers to learn from.

Not natural. Nothing natural about it. With the gear weighing almost as much as me...and the whole add air, subtract air...oops...up to the surface again! And what's with the 35 pound weightbelt removal on the surface when there's snow falling and my fingers are frozen. If it wasn't for the fact tha...

In the scuba world, your gas fills are always a loss leader. You're not going to pay for a compressor with airfills. What pays the bills is having customers return again and again, as scuba diving is a gear intensive sport that constantly necessitiates newer and cooler stuff. (Ok...so maybe I'm conf...

Well, considering that the location of my current home was chosen based STRONGLY on the proximity of the nearest Starbucks (3 within a one block radius!!!)...maybe this study explains my love of diving! And why I prefer to dive in the Sound more than warmer waters.

Hmmm...

I'll be there. Planning my whole day around it...so whenever...wherever...count me in.

I'll keep updated through this board. Would love to do Redondo...but Cove 2 works as well.

I don't hide that I'm an instructor. And, while I love having "non-student" dives...you know the ones where you actually get to see 1000 psi on your gauge before you ascend...I am an instructor because of my passion for diving. And if a weaker diver needs to be buddied up...then I'm the fi...

That's great.... Is it at Whole Foods? My best friend is in the Wine Industry...and that would be a great Christmas present!

Ok...so I'll offer this. If someone can come up with a feasible plan to increase diver safety and awareness in the Puget Sound area...then I'd be willing to take a "Puget Sound Slogan", create a shirt and donate all profits to the cause.

I'll keep watching to see what materializes...

Just heard from a fellow diver and sailboat racer that there is a sailboat race in Commencement Bay on Saturday. I'm not a sailor (yet...) but I was told that there is a chance that there could be sailboats without power that may drift into the dive areas on Ruston. So, if you're diving on Ruston th...

So, GirlDiver is coordinating 3 teams with support crew for back up. If you are a female diver, fitting into ANY of the categories and want to participate in the event, we'd love to have you on our teams. Our initial plan for this is to have "Pre Olympic Training Sessions" During these ses...

Welcome...and I think I owe you a dive????

Welcome to the board. Hope to see you at the Canal sometime...with your family as well.

Congrats on your certs. The viz may be lousy currently...but we're heading into the BEST diving viz as we go into winter months.

Would love to dive with you both sometime!

THanks for the link. Great article.
