Northwest Dive Club

Now L.D. at 4pm I can do, count me in Keith.

Dove DIW this morning. Several other folks had the same idea. Viz was great at the beginning of the dive, at least 20+ ft. A little less toward the end as the current picked up. It was an amazing dive and our first visit to this site. Saw several Wolf Eels and one Female came out of her den to say &...

Redondo, 3/20. Viz was 30+ at Pepper's boat!

Doug is getting slow, it took him 8 min. to call dibs!

Hey Tom, glad you made it back home and had safe travels! Thanks for the reports and pictures. I like the short, but often report entries That Casio sure does take nice pictures!

Has anyone tried the Ikelite AF-35 strobe? For just a simple digital camera like mine, Canon A570, It looks like a good system. Any opinions? Thanks

I will be there, proudly wearing the green NWDC t-shirt!

Nice report, great pics! What kind of camera and housing?

I was going to post this in the Viz report thread, but the dive was so good, I will make a new post. We read Amy's report of great viz at L.D. on Thursday, so my wife and I were hopeful that it would hold. We splashed at about 12:30 and I was paying close attention to the viz on the way down to 20 f...

1) What have you learned (if anything) from the NWDC that has made you a better/safer diver? I think that just reading the dive reports and comments made by experienced divers has taught me how to dive local sites and respect the critters. 2) What do you hope to learn? I read (listen) more than I co...

Well, we are booked for CoCo View on the 2nd of may!! I just was not able to get any vacation for the summer to join any groups going down. I would like to plan that for next year though. I was concerned about the cost, but as we all found out this weekend, life can be very short and you just never ...

Ya no backscatter, how do you do that??

My wife and I were very sad to hear the tragic news about Jake. It was through tears and silence that we both sat together and read the post's. We did not know him personally, however we always looked forward to reading and laughing with him about his diving adventures! Our thoughts and prayers are ...

Tom, the wonderful thing about this board is the great trip and dive reports that show up on a daily basis. I always look forward to reading your reports. Well written combined with terrific photos. The trip report from the Dominican Republic was filled with wow's and oooh's as I scrolled down the p...

The 28th works good for us!

Fantastic trip report and pictures! Thanks Tom.

We had a 55 min. dive and surfaced right at the entry point so I guess it wasn't too bad. I took a grand total of 4 pictures, none of them fish! Just wasn't much out and about.

Thanks for the report. I hope that she will stay in her den. If she stays, I'm sure we will see pictures soon. I do have a question. How long will it be before she will lay her eggs and how long for the eggs to hatch? Thanks.

This is my attempt at the same elusive creature in the pipe on a dive with cardiver. Slightly manipulated by Picasa.

Glad to see our Thursday dive ringleader is back, I'm in! We may need a chain saw for the entry.

Any plans to sink an old car ferry for a wreck! :rr:

there were a couple that broke over my head while we were putting our fins on. Tide was high and the seas were jumpin'! Surfboards would not have been inappropriate! Wow Tom, that sounds entertaining!! When we dove it on Saturday, it was at the ebb of about a 0 tide. A long walk back up the beach. ...

My wife and I dove T.T.N. today, 2/14. First dive was about noon and second around 2pm. Viz was 15 ft. and maybe not that good on the second dive. Lot of silt in the water.

Thanks Ron for a great dive! With the regular Thursday dive leader, Bassman , preparing for their trip north, I was wondering if I was going to get my nitrogen fix on Thursday. A PM was sent to cardiver on Wednesday, and less than 5 min. later he responds with "what time do we meet?" It's ...

Thanks Bob for posting the responses from Tim at SA. He mentions that GPO's are hard to find this year. Are they? Every week on this site there are several dive reports with numerous GPO sighting and pictures to verify. I am still a fairly new diver and even I can usually locate on GPO at all the lo...
