Northwest Dive Club

I saw one of these right in front of the hotel about 2 months ago. Is it common to see these other places? Or are they rarely spotted?

Great discussion, since someone brought up feeding animals again I am going to bring up another animal to feed...The Sixgill! Do you think it's possible to chum and feed one of these sharks, like the bull, or reef shark in the carribean?? It seems to work in the tropics why not here. Just a thought....

Bob, do you mind if I let Saundra know the nice things you said about her? I will be seeing her this evening. I believe a good instructor needs to hear positive feedback.

What's considered a low fill? when I get my tanks filled and then take them home they are usually 3150 - 3250, for my 3300psi tank, and I usually get 3000+ with my 3000psi tank. I can't complain about that. I never use that much air anyways.

I tried my first dive in DUI drysuit last night, in a pool. It was not very comfortable compared to a wetsuit. It would wrinkle up and press against me (even with air in the suit). Maybe a shell suit is not the way to go? Maybe a neoprene one?
Any advice?

I had the same problem. I always soaked my gear for awile. But I use wetsuit cleaner now whith my water and the slime is now gone plus it smells new evrytime!

Maybe you can educated me. I understand what the egg is for when going deep. But what do you do with a tennis ball, and ping pong ball??

Was it a night dive, and how big was it?

I don't know about those wetsuits but I am looking into a wetsuit by pinnacle. The wetsuit I am looking at is the polar, it has merino wool and I have heard nothing but good things about it.

What do lazers do to rat fish???

I dove lake rosiger, and lake tye in monroe. At lake rosiger, we went in at the park. Not much to see past the logs there to the left. Just wanted to let you know that vis was prtty bad ( in July) Like 3 feet. I did not see any fish. I went tubbing on lake stevens and the vis there looks a lot bette...

SUNDAY AFTERNOON!

Vis was horrible yesterday. Just an FYI

Smokey point diving is hosting a night dive there @ 7:00pm I'll be there as well as others. You could probably find a buddy!

Now that's the kind of response i was looking for! Thanks for the tip. I am familure with automotive paints, but I wanted to know if you had to put special hardner in the clear. also do you think I could tint the clear a little to make a candy paint? (just for a little color)

I just took a tank in for hydro, and when it comes back I want to media blast it and paint it. I searched the forums, but could not find anything on this. Has anyone done this or heard of anyone doing this?

Thanks for all the input on where I can see gpo's and rat fish. I am going back to muk on wed @ 5:00 (WITH MY CAMERA) to try to get some proof.

Thanks again.

I went on yet another dive at the T-dock on sunday afternoon. On the first dive everything was the same nothing rael exciting. So I disided not to take my camera on the second dive. BAD MISTAKE! I seen my first GPO but it wasn't so great. It was about 8" long. But I was so excited because it wa...

Tom,
What kind of camera and or housing do you have? Your pictures are unbelievable!

I have never dove to the left of the ferry at mukilteo where the clay walls are. Would I need a dive flag to dive this area are would I be ok without one?

Thanks

Does anyone know who to contact about creating artificial reefs in the puget sound? Edmonds is such a nice park because of all the JUNK in it! I heard that mukilteo used to be like that, with lots of stuff sitting on the bottom. I would love to throw old stuff overboard at mukilteo to create more hi...

Thanks for the information I did not mean to rile anyone up about this. You bring up some good points. I see many pictures of people feeding wolf eel and octos so I was qurious. I remain undicided at this point. I hope others will give there opinion!

THANKS!

I don't understand what the big deal is am I missing something?

I just got a case for my digital camera, and it works great! But I was wondering if there is a way to bait in more animals so I can get a better shot. If I just leave a onion bag of chicken and go away for awile, and then come back will there be any critters there? Any help would be great!
