Northwest Dive Club

While doing a maintenance dive I lost a 12,000 lift bag at Edmonds Underwater Park. I know it is a long shot but if I don't throw it out there..... Deployed, it looks like the bag on the right in the picture: http://www.carterbag.com/Openbottliftbag.html The bag is rolled up and secured for travel a...

While some of the 7 reasons listed in the original post are a stretch, if you step back and look at it dispassionately they make sense for the site. Thanks Norris for looking into this and making the response available here.

About 10 years or so ago I was fueling up my boat at the Stanwood exit and a guy about 18 walks up and starts chatting about diving. As an Explorer (Boy Scouts) his scoutmaster showed them a cave that was under Camano Island State Park. You entered from a wall and it even went up to an air chamber s...

Good, glad you are among the living. Looks like we'll make the handoff in a couple of weeks.

Anyone else use this stuff? Koos is MIA and I would like to get this off my shelf during boating season.

I've responded to your PM. Looks like its found an engine to feed.

I have about 5 to 6 gallons of TC-W3 oil for a two stroke engine. It is West Marine branded oil. I no longer use it and would like to pass it on to someone here that could use it. If you could use it let me know and we can figure out how to meet up, maybe a dive or something.

I quit this "club". I can't take the constant sniping at the people deemed uncool by the literati.

Where on Camano will this be happening?

Kirby,

Its good to have you back here posting again.

I Dive a Predator on my rEvo. It seems big but the way it wraps around your wrist it really isn't. The screen is large, well laid out and easy to read.

Kirby has been running a fever this afternoon. No other changes. He's still in the critical care ward. Kelle appreciates all the thoughts and prayers and offers of help! Thanks for keeping us updated, Phil. My good thoughts are with him. And, like many others have said- if there's anything I can do...

According to the sheet from AI the equivalent to R-22 is PSR-11-39-MD. They list diving uses as: Kiss, Innerspace Megaladon, Oxy Spy, CCR-2000, Uwatec, Optama, Conchran Lifeguard, OXy2, VR3. There are 2 equivalents listed for R-17 they are PSR-11-39-JD and PSR-11-39-JD2 Uses listed for both are: CIS...

Most of the time I just don't have anything to say/add to the discussion. Someone wise once said "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". Since this board has a low tolerance for individuals outside the norm...

Anyone need cells?

If I can get a few of us together I will put in an order.

Most of the time I enjoy this board and the people on it. Once in a while the bus drives off the road and its like being back in junior high school.

That was a great day. It was good to see some old friends and meet some new ones. I wouldn't have been there if you hadn't started this thread. I unexpectedly found that Sunday was open and called Naknek Saturday afternoon to ask if there was a spot open on the boat. Kurt and Peggy from Naknek have ...

Good point by dsteding about the rode tags, they really help to know exactly how much line is out. They are easy to install in laid (3 strand twisted) rope, I don't know if you can put them in braid, I suppose if it is a loose braid you might be able to. One thing you want in anchor line is a lot of...

The bigger the line the easier it will be to pull the anchor so while 1/4 should be fine I think I would go with 3/8. Also consider adding more chain. After dragging anchor a few times I went to 20 feet of chain, which makes it harder to pull the anchor (see the first sentence). I have 300 feet of l...

I left mine in the parking lot and it came back! It was a little worse for wear, as it had been run over by a truck.

I hope you have better luck.

Hey! Happy birthday Curt.

I'm old enough to remember and its spot on. BTW didn't that end badly?

Moving a little more back on topic, pick up a copy of the Feb. 2011 National Geographic. There is an excellent article on artificial reefs. The good and the bad - mostly good.

That is the same model record player my dad had in his house. This is one of the songs that it played.
