Northwest Dive Club

So, I dive a shell suit and layer using the REI method. Have been toasty through the winter for four years now (new fleece every two years because I don't wash it correctly...) Currently I'm diving REI MTS long underwear, layered with a midweight fleece top and a heavy fleece bottom. And last winter...

Thanks everyone...wow...wish the viz wasn't so icky right now...or I'd feel like we should all go for a dive tonite.

Alas...I guess I'll hit the pool with a couple of students.

Thanks for the welcomes!!!

After doing some interviews with female commercial divers, I've found that the amount of money that you make isn't all that we think it is.

It increases over time...but the amount of risk that you take at the beginning...before the money kicks in...well, don't know that it's worth all that.

I believe the Instructor/Program totally makes the Rescue Class. I was trained at a facility that places HUGE emphasis on making the Rescue Class feel as "real" as possible. It wasn't just going through Scenario #1, #2 and #3. You were pushed. Beyond what you believed you were capable of. ...

So, excited to be at Northwest Dive Club. This board appears quite active...nice to see. Very positive people and looking forward to hearing from some divers that I don't get to hear from on the other sites. You know...I'm not sure which I feel more fortunate for...being priviledged enough to be one...
