Northwest Dive Club

A laminated QR code placed right by the dive map at T-dock would be cool. I am going to create something and work with ole George to implement. EXAMPLE This site is current sensitive, have you checked your tidal exchange? Anything above a 8 foot exchange can be challenging at this site. Please scan...

I'll be there!

Welcome to the PNW! I hope to see you diving with us soon. Get that Drysuit first and start talking to other local divers about what to buy next. What regulators do you have now? If in good shape they will likely be all you need for local diving. The idea of a cold water reg is a bit fuzzy. It's unl...

Excellent pictures! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! I just got one of the Kraken wide wet lenses as well. I've only used it twice, but in pretty dismal vis so far.

I dove Sunrise and Dalco Wall today and it was not bad. Sunrise was about 10 feet, and Dalco was better at 15 feet. Two nice dives with GPO's, Wolfeels, and Grunt Sculpin babies. Also a red irish lord on eggs.

When I take the rebreather to places like that, I pack an empty plastic spray bottle with a dry tablet of steramine inside. Just add water!

In tropical climates you need to be a lot more careful about slime growing in your loop. In the PNW it's not such a big problem. If I don't have the opportunity to fully rinse my loop at the end of the day a few spray pumps of steramine solution will keep it sanitary. It kills everything real good.

See you there!

Order it from Dive Gear Express. $9.95 for a bottle of tablets that will last for 20 years.

Yes, I use it to clean my rebreather. I use a spray bottle for a quick spritz in the hoses and mouthpiece between tear downs. When I do a full teardown I fill the sink several inches and crush a full tablet to soak hoses and lungs, etc. I do not rinse the parts again with fresh water after using the...

Congrats Derek! I hope to join you on a few of the next 1000!

There is a Marker Buoy dive there tomorrow evening... I'm supposed to dive at Cove 2 in the evening, so I'm trying to find some folks who would want to dive the Junkyard earlier (I'm available any time after 2:30PM). If anyone is interested, let me know! I plan to be at the Junkyard arriving @ 3:30...

Can't today but Rebecca and i plan to go there Sunday around 1:30 - 2:00pm.

The wind seems mild so i plan to dive tonight.

What time of the year were you there? I was there in March and we didn't see any.

Mid February 2020

Galapagos. I am 2 for 2 on Mola Mola there. Second trip we saw ten or so.

Happy Birthday Eric. See you tonight.

I have been actively diving CCR since 2007 with over 1000 dives on my units. I suggest you get at least a couple hundred OC dives in before you consider CCR. You really need to be relaxed in the water and completely in control of yourself and your gear. Are you the kind of person that really enjoys ...

I plan to join the fun.

I plan to join, up for any location.

This is so great Jess! I loved all your quotes. What a great representation of PNW divers!

(can I have an autograph??)

I think they are hydroids! I zoomed in more and it's pretty clear.

Was that lunch or is it growing in there? Is this something you've seen before?

It looks a little bit like an Urchin, perhaps it's go stuck and has gotten a bit fuzzier as it degrades?

I tried to upload another photo but the forum is rejecting all my pictures right now...

It is still a capable computer. I would still be using mine as a CCR backup if it didn't die a couple of years ago. My two units lasted ten years before the lcd and sensors crapped out. By then the company was dead too. That software however is an abomination and insult to the senses of all software...
