Yeah, the current at sunrise on Saturday surprised me. Nice photos!

haha! that's a good strategy. I will probably be purchasing a new one in the coming months. I like the one I have but I do need a backup and want to see if the new one will fit better. This weekend we'll see if my mask leaks again. I might head up to hoodsport the last weekend of August CaptJack. If...

Thanks everyone! i'm excited for this weekend.
The dive computer will indeed commodate the change in elevation and i'll talk to the DM about the dive plan tomorrow.

This newbie diver appreciates all the help!

awesome!!

we're just gonna camp in the middle of the woods... somewhere... out there.

Should be able to see the perseid meteor shower too

i wish it was next weekend already!

No cabins... They were all booked. I'll make a note to go east of the cabins for the good stuff! Thank you ! There will be a group of at least 8 of us diving. I can't wait! I bought a computer today and can't wait to use it

I used my cressi mask and dry snorkel for OW and it was fine. I bought it awhile ago for snorkeling and it's been doing fine for diving.

Thank you all - I did do a bit of research yesterday and watched a few videos on dive tables and know about the additional +2 pressure grade per 1000 ft of elevation (yay! learning :) ) I am actually driving down the night before the dive so I should be ready to go for the first one. I've just never...

I'm diving clear lake next weekend near Sisters, OR. The surface elevation of clear lake is 3,012′. Our dives will be <60' and we are planning a 2 tank dive. Can someone direct me to a dive table or some info to calculate how long I must wait before going up to McKenzie observatory, which is 5,325 f...

had the mask checked and it fit fine. going to try again at the next dive and if it still doesn't work out there's another one for me to try. Thanks for all the suggestions!

I do blow through my nose cause there's water in it and I hate the feeling lol :) I'll bring my mask with me tomorrow to the shop monthly get together and have someone help me getting it adjusted and what not. Thanks for the link @fmerkel! it's not leaking from the top or sides, it's bubbling in fro...

Ok thanks. I am able to keep it on my face just from breathing in my nose, but once I'm in the water with the reg, that's when I start to get water in the nose. The dive shop I got certified through will be happy to find/sell me a mask so I'll ask them this week to try some of them on. Thanks for yo...

I keep getting water in the nose area of my mask. I've tightened it, loosened it, and i'm out of ideas on how to fix it. Cold water up my nose freaks me out. I'm asian, so i've had a pretty hard time finding masks that fit correctly... No nose bridge, and just a flatter and wider face lol It's a cre...

that sounds cool - thanks! just msg me whenever I appreciate it!!

CaptnJack, that sounds cool - let me know when you're planning on heading out to those areas and I'll try to make it up there. I'll just need a bit of notice to rent gear and put it on the calendar <3 I'm in port orchard and I have a small boat. There are a couple of beginner-ish sites I'm happy to ...

I am in portland! was certified in hoodsport through adventure sports scuba. would like to go there again just to get over the 0 vis thing. I was told that was the worst they've seen it. A friend also mentioned Sund Rock would be fun. I'm looking forward to clear lake

Hello - I'm a new open water certified diver that can use some major practice on descents and buoyancy. I also want to just feel more comfortable and in control with my dive and dive gear so I am able to enjoy the amazing underwater world! I currently have the 4 required dives for open water certifi...
