Northwest Dive Club

We're planning on camping at Dash Point. There are two spots available one with three campsites and one with two. You have to reserve them together, but each site has to be reserved for a different person.

I called Dougs Diving. They no longer have a dive shop. They suggested Garibaldi aquasports, but I was unable to get them on the telephone and their website is gone. I guess we will bring enough air for a couple of dives and get them filled on the way home in astoria.

I'll be there with Melissa (getwet) I'll be a little buddy. We can bring dutch ovens and do some peach cobbler.

Does anyone know of a compressor in the Tillamook area? We are going to be in the area aug 23-25 for a family outing and would like to sneak out to do some crab wrangling.

Although my schedule this year so far has not really allowed me to hook up with any of the new divers (I've been working almost every weekend I'm in town), the fall should be different. (It WILL be different, or I'm finding another job!) Please, anybody, feel free to PM me about going diving. This f...

Yeah, the train stops so close to BHUT you could spit on it.

Welcome Katiusha. I think you should postpone that trip. It's not good to START missing home. Have fun with it.
Bob

That sounds cool. This must be an overhead environment-would it be necessary to have cavern/cave training to dive here? We are actually planning a trip to Belize next Mar-Apr timeframe. I would love to hear more. Our destination is San Pedro, although we have no firm reservations yet.

Great Janna! Have you got any classes scheduled? Melissa and I would be interested.

Didn't I hear talk about some DAN classes at dive around the clock?

I don't have a kit. I would like to take a class, but being down here on the oregon border, I don't know if I can make it to one of Valerie's classes. I would like to get the training and carry it, and I'm glad others do as well. Anyone know of a good instructor down south?
Bob

sounds like you're going to need to trade that bike in for a SCOOTER! And watch out for the sea lions!
Hope you heal quickly.

Awesome, Tony! Can't wait to get up there and dive with you. (I was going to ask if you found a wetsuit but you answered that question).
Bob

We have two choices for dive transportation, a pickup (lot's of room, tailgate for gearing up etc., 19 mpg of the most expensive fuel right now), and a subaru (not much room, takes creativity to get geared up in comfort, 27 mpg reg gas). Right now we try to take the subaru. I have been considering s...

This link has some background on the diver, and her family. Tragic story, she will be missed.

Nice. What are you using for a flash? We're considering our next purchase, and these and grateful divers pics have got me thinking...

The worst thing is they appear to be quite proud of this. I guess ignorance really is bliss.

My wife was having trouble with her shoulders and neck. Then she was having trouble with her dry suit. Loosening the straps on her bp/w solved both problems.

Maybe these guys could help. Astoria Scuba, 503-325-2502.

I've noticed that too. I can see it on my laptop at home, but (don't tell) on the computer at work, the toolbars are darker and the text is unreadable. I'm thinking that this may be a problem with the monitor. I've tried adjusting the monitor at work with no success.

Anyone around here manufacture a good, stout, cabbie cage?

Sounds like an awesome trip. Is that a DOT approved way to transport tanks? She's a lot more coordinated than I.
You took some great pics Bob! Did you say that you were using a point and shoot?

It's good stuff to think about. Anyone here know of ways to help out?
Bob

I didn't see any eggs, but then again he wasn't letting me get any closer. It looked like he though he was King of the mountain. Is this the right time of year for them to be on eggs?

Melissa and I dove Edmonds underwater park saturday. Our first time there and I have to thank those of you involved in making the park what it is. It's awesome! I couldn't believe the size of some of the lings we saw there! So this was dive 6 for Melissa in her new dry suit, and I think she has it n...
