Re: In Memoriam: Lynne Flaherty (LCF, TSandM)

My bit for Lynne Flaherty: I met Lynne around 2010. I was taking classes from Peter and met her at one of them. I ran into her on the beach, at dive sites and at stores every few months. We were FB friends so that comprised the majority of our communication. I was attracted to her wit and her deligh...

Tides and Currents class?

A group of us are looking for instruction on reading tide tables and how to best determine optimal conditions for diving. We are new/new-ish to this and want to better understand the water.

Any instruction/classes available in the Seattle area?

Kayakers in EUWP 5-31

So we saw three kayaks tooling around in EWUP today. Two passed through the park, headed south and one put in on the north end of the park and headed I know not where.

Isn't that a no-no? I thought boats were not allowed in the EUWP. Who enforces the divers-only policy in the park?

Dive planning class -- How to judge tide/current/weather.

We thought today that we'd like to take a class (or a series of classes) to help us learn more about planning dives. What is generally available and what resources to you suggest?

Thanks!

Any chance for NWDC hoodies or vests? I'd still love a T-shirt, though.

Re: Whee! Loreto!

That's so cool. I have met a few Puget Sound divers in Mexico. I recall I had a frozen spring in my reg and I met a terrific guy who lent me some gear for free and said "Just return it to my shop when you get home -- it's on me."

And I'll bring LOTS of napkins, too.
