Ah. Well, hope you can make it! If not, then perhaps another time. You are also more than welcome to just come join us for food if you can't make the splash times

Nothing against Cove 2, but anyone want to dive Mukilteo or Edmonds? If not, I may be fighting traffic to try and meet folks at the Cove.... You're coming from Bellevue? Cove 2 is closer than Edmonds or Muk. If you plan on showing for the early dive, you will have very little traffic getting there....

Thanks guys! Hoping to write a trip report some time....eventually. It seems like whenever I get a break from school, I just spend it diving, not writing, so it might be a few weeks. I will post it here though.

Sure thing! This event is open invite, meaning anyone can show. Even Jeff Pack =p

NWDC hosts 3 weekly dives (MMM, WWW, and WBAS). Those are hosted as Mukilteo, Cove 2, and Edmonds, respectively. Check the Dive Planning section for more info! They are all on week days.

Brilliant

Well, we (the GUE community) host dives every Wednesday on Alki, and we usually plan weekend dives as well. Or at least a few of us (myself included) do. Send me a PM around July/August, if that is your timeframe, and we can schedule a dive.

I'll be there! Helping Alex, Ryland and Max prep for T1.. anyone wanting to do join is welcome!! (Nudge, Nudge DAve & Dylan) I have plenty of spare HID, LED lights, BP/Wings (Single and double) and long hose reg setups and OLED timers/computers, blade fins, etc. etc. Yup, already planning to di...

Meet at Cove 2 this Wednesday for some diving + food and beer afterwards!

Dive 1 - 4:45 splash

Dive 2 - 6:15 splash

Dive 3 -

If you need a "big buddy" dive partner, or you want to try a new piece of gear, just ask.

Heh, thanks! The dive went great. We saw some spectacular deep walls! The top of the wall ranged from about 185 to 200, so we couldn't quite make it down, but we soared over the top, drifting with the current. Nice relaxing deco afterwards.

Update: I have since taken GUE fundementals. I would like to clearly state that when I started this thread I was confident that I was ready for technical diving. As it turns out, there is much more to diving than feeling confident because "master" is in the title of your highest certifica...

Welcome to the fray! \m/

Hey Jeremy, stop doing all the Fischnaller dives without me, k?

Yup, the tweak thread comes early this week! I'm going to be in MX starting tomorrow (Tech 1!! :partyman: ), so I figured I would get this out of the way while it was still on my mind. Meetup is at Ye Old Cove Deux (that's two!). Splash times range anywhere from 4:30 to 7:00, but we like to say the ...

Well like I said, the splash times aren't exactly set in stone. It's basically anywhere from 4:30-7

Will these drills occur during dive 2 or dive 3?

I don't see any reason they can't happen on both

Same old times, same old place! That's 4:30, 6:00, and Cove 2 for those of you who don't know. All times are approximate, so dont stress if you can't splash at exactly those times! With pre-dive socializing, most of the splash times are actually highly variable. Just show up with enough time to asse...

Oh GOD I f*%#ing HATE those things! For some reason they really weird me out... They like to latch onto the buoys at C2 (or at least they were around the time of my Fundies class), and we would always get covered in those creepy crawlies whenever we floated around the buoy getting ready to descend, ...

I want a viz report before I do Lake Washington this time of year . . . Bleh. Is there anyone even diving the lake right now? Every time I have gone in the last few months, the vis has been excellent. Those were all south-end dives off Kirk's boat. It had been raining heavily the day before on a lo...

Thanks, Im out of town for a couple days hunting, but I'll talk to you guys next week. And yes I'm looking to do everything but cove 2. ! ;-) preferably during the day not evenings. Though I'm not opposed to picking up a skills dive Wednesday night occasionally. I'm right with you on not wanting to...

Yikes, who knew a single smiley could incite so much animosity?...

When I get back from MX, do you want to go back out to the I-90 bridge (with a camera this time)?

It sounds like we should dive together.... I am always looking for people to explore with. Come to the WWW dives every Wednesday on Alki. We are open to any divers, but a lot of us are DIR. Dive 1 is typically at 4:30, and dive 2 is around 6:30. Look in the Dive Planning section for those threads! I...
