Northwest Dive Club

Ok the bag had been passed to linedog. Still a lot of good stuff in there! I added some reflex dive fins a couple snorkels and a mask. Enjoy!

Sounds good bob just let me know when you can meet this weekend.

I think I may have gotten skipped, no worries I'll go after bob. I won't have nearly as much to add as he does anyways as I am still new(ish) but I do have a few things for sure.

I'll be out of town this weekend.

Put me in line please!! I am out of town this weekend but when I come back I have a few things to put in and a couple things I would like to have!! PM me when it's my turn, thanks!!

So after all my research and planning I bought a Nikon cool pic P&S and a case for it. The camera is waterproof to 59ft it says so when we arrive in the Maldives we can't wait to get in the water so we throw our snorkel gear on and head out to see what's around. I'm in the water for 5 min and th...

I just got back last night. I will post some pics and stuff soon.... Once I am not so jet lagged. And depressed to not be there anymore haha! We didn't see any Mantas while in the water, it is still early in the migration season and we only saw them on the way to a dive site shortly after getting ou...

Great suggestions, I have heard about the carpe vita but since it's a live aboard I don't think I will use their service this time. But I found a pretty cool service right there at the resort that will take us on a 4 tank dive day for $50. And the is manta season so we should see some pretty large m...

I knew that this one seemed a little but long.... Rather impractical it seems. Thanks for the info.

I ordered the only one I saw. It's 8" long. Wasn't aware of a shorty.

The DRIS 1k finally arrived, this thing is much heavier than I expected. For those that have used it, is the weight an issue/annoying while diving? I also bought the goodman handle for it but the light seems a little long.

Dove with Mpenders there the day before too and it was amazing. Even got to see a free swimming wolf eel and a mossy head war bonnet (I think that's what it was called), and a HUGE GPO too. . Big thanks to mike for showing me all of that. Day island is AMAZING. very cool place to go.

So I went with the Canon T3i DSLR, got the package deal with the standard lens, a 700mm zoom lens, several UV filter lens caps, a wide angle lens, 2 tripods (5'' and 57'') and a grouping of other things to make above water life easier. Now I need to figure out a housing for this bad boy. I did a qui...

Just bought the DRIS with the goodman handle. 1000 lumens was too hard to pass by! Thanks for all the great suggestions and I will see you out there!

Agreed, nice dialogue regarding photography. I took a different approach to UW photography. I did not take up photography until I started diving. In fact, I did not own a camera until I started diving 5 years ago. I started with a Reef Master Mini and was very frustrated, my shots were terrible, be...

The wife and I have a trip to the Maldives scheduled at the end of July and into August and I am curious if anyone has been there and if so what should I try and make a priority to see? We are staying at the Reethi Beach Resort and will have access to virtually unlimited shore diving but I was more ...

Awesome! Thanks guys! This is the perfect size too! Heading to the Maldives in a month so this little guy will travel nicely for sure.

Hey quick question, I am looking at buying a new dive light that is better suited for diving in the PNW. I have never dove in an area that you would use a light in during the day and the Princeton Tech light I have used in previous night dives is not even close to bright enough to be of use during t...

Hey everyone! My wife and I are new to diving in the Puget sound area and are pretty excited to have found that the diving up here is as good as it is. I have been certified since '96 (I was 13 and have been out of diving for 5 years), and she is just now getting certified. On her first 2 open water...
