Northwest Dive Club

My first free Thursday in months! I plan to join the lumpy hunt.

Sharing a few pics from our Thursday night adventures. Did everyone see the little Grunt? I think it picked up a bit of a Tan from all the flash-bulbs. :) Redondo Pier Aug 30 2018 (4 of 10).jpg Redondo Pier Aug 30 2018 (5 of 10).jpg Redondo Pier Aug 30 2018 (6 of 10).jpg Redondo Pier Aug 30 2018 (10...

I plan to join tonight.

I may have a spare Reg Set that I could sell, but won't have it ready today. I will take an inventory this weekend and let you know.

Glad you made it! I'm curious why it was such a challenging flight. I went there a few times, years ago, and I recall something like a 4 hour flight to Houston and another few hours to Roatan. There was the time I got food poisoning eating in the Houston airport on the way home, but better the less ...

Derek and I represented for ThThTh this week.

TL;DR - No sharks spotted after 30 mins @ 90ft, cute little GPO's in bottle field.

I plan on attending. No splashing early this time and hogging all the sharks Derek!!!

Jealous, want!

Amazing experience Derek! Great pictures. I didn't see the shark but I did get a consolation prize of a Giant Skate!! It was at least 4 feet long and 3 feeet wide. Biggest one I've ever seen. It buzzed past me as I hung out at 90 - 100 feet waiting for the SixGill. Redondo Aug 2 2018 (9 of 61).jpg R...

Apparently it is shark week at Redondo. Multiple sightings this week in the morning and evening. Bring your wide angle lenses!

As long as there is no Powdered Wig Required dress code, I am in.

If you are traveling domestically you can save a lot of hassle mailing gear. Check online for rate comparison, I found that USPS is generally cheaper for bulky and heavy items. I once shipped a pair of bicycles home at the end of a week long ride down the Oregon coast, then continued by Plane down t...

USPS will ship anything if you pack it right. I shipped 70 lbs of dive gear back to Seattle from Santa Barbara once for about $50. I shipped gear to and from Hawaii once as well. As long and you empty the tanks and remove the valves you should not have a problem. Ship them to a hotel or other busine...

I'll be bringing some Coffee and supplies.

Awesome pictures! Excellent lighting on the nudibranchs. And I am so happy to see a really big sunstar!

I chock this up to the special powers of the Weezle Underwear.

The Sola products have fair degree of industrial design and a warranty. There is some real value in that for some folks. But most of these LED lights are an aluminum tube sealed by a 2cent o-ring. The led modules, batteries, and chargers are commodity items. Given the opportunity I would save the ex...

While I have not tried this light, a UW Video shooter I know highly recommended this light. At $83 plus this cost of batteries and a charger for another $50 you could buy 3 of these for the cost of one Sola. Might be worth a try if your budget is tight. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Photography-Video-200...

Following the Mormon theme, is there "Special Underwear" required for the dive?

(look it up if you don't get the joke...)
