Um.., I can't exactly say I'm bright-eyed or bushy-tailed... Yowch. :violent1: But I can echo the sentiments above. The people on this board are amazing and I feel lucky to be able to dive, lurk, and laugh with y'all. Here's to a 2009 full of tons of great dives, adventures, milestones and even more...

Re: what dives stand out for the year?
I got back into the water for the first time in over a year in February.. Less than 40 dives under my belt. I’m pretty sure that I’m going to break 100 for the year on the 28th, as long as the weather decides to cooperate! So every dive has been amazing this year. Highlights include: The "octo-...

Re: CLUB DIVE REPORT, Hood Canal
What a great weekend! The fact that I had to go to work this morning and wasn't just hanging out watching another sunrise over Hood Canal, really sucked. It was just too short. Despite pretty crappy viz, there was some amazing diving to be had. As you can imagine, the company was great, and if you'v...

Re: Another Question
It's all about the Instructor. I would highly reccomend doing AOW soon after your OW. It wasn't until my AOW class that I started feeling like a diver and not a tourist Actually, I have to agree with Spatman on this one, too. I jumped right in and took the PADI AOW class with about 15-20 dives unde...

Count me in for wherever i can grab a spot. (Sorry for the late post..) I was envisioning roughing it a lot more when this overnight thing was first posted, so the thought of even a corner of a bed in the cabin is sounding darned fine to me. Depending on when we're able to take off from Seattle Frid...

Everything just kind of melts together after such an amazing day. =D> The first thing I heard after the second dive was, "Suck-factor 9, Mister Sulu.." as soon as Matt surfaced. Nice to be able to laugh after 20 minutes underwater having your butt kicked by the current. Didn't sign up for ...

Just call me a follower. I tend to rely on others to guide and watch over me on every dive we do… and I am tired of being a liability to them. I want to be an asset and resource underwater. I want to be like my buddies, and I knew that without some training, it just wouldn’t happen. So I’m re-taking...

The band seems to be in a pretty busy season right now, and that appears to be coinciding with a lot of your buddies getting out to dive before it starts raining again. #-o To help supplement during this season of Bridezillas, would there be any way to alter your work schedule to allow for occasiona...

Hi Mark! Color me there, Spatman... Not on call, will (hopefully) have finished AOW by then, and this will mean I can tell people I actually HAVE something planned over Labor Day weekend.
Looking forward to hooking up on the 30th.

Re: Buddies wanted for weekday dives next week
Squshy, count me in for the after work thing as well next week. I've been lucky enough to meet up with Penopolypants more than once for those evening dives, and they are always good. I'll keep my eyes posted, and hope to catch up with y'all some night next week.
