Northwest Dive Club

Dang it!! I have a dentist appointment at 1 PM. I have already rescheduled once when we dove @ T.T.N.! I guess that will teach me going to the dentist on my day off. Hope you have a great dive. Bob

Has anyone been to this resort in Roatan? My wife and I want a dive vacation. No site seeing, no shopping, no shows and schedules. I just want to dive. When the boat dives are done for the day, I want to shore dive at the resort. CoCo View seems to best fit our wish list. We are looking at going lat...

We had a great day diving with Mike on the Mark V! Very comfortable boat. We dove Pt Defiance North wall and then moved over to Z's Reef. Z's was a great dive, lot's of stuff to see on the wall. We will definitely dive with Porthole again. Bob

Here is a good link from ScubaBoard on how to install the rings. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/exposure-suits/192634-how-install-dry-gloves-5-minutes-picture-heavy.html Mine just arrived in the mail and I will dive them this weekend. The rings arrived within 3 work days from when I ordered them. ...

so do your talents actually have limits?

Not sure which I am more envious of, his talents or the shop and equipment which he works from!

This may be too late to be helpful this weekend, but we dove Redondo this afternoon at high tide, and it was about 15 ft. Bob

Great video Tom! I have a crazy question, I wonder if there is a way to determine the size of the Octo, based on the size of the suction cups?

Ah, nothing like getting back in the water after a 3 month hiatus

Still beats a good day at work!

Thanks to Cardiver, TomNic and Bassman for a great dive @ TTN on 11/20. When viz is bad everywhere else, it is usually good here. Here are a few pics to compliment Cardivers. Bob

Okay, that's pretty wicked awesome. Trip information, prices, overnights, etc? Thanks, D(B) My wife and I are signed up for a 2 dive trip out of Tacoma on the 6th of December. Contact Porthole or Josh and Wally at Tacoma Scuba. It may already be full. I am sure that Mike has other trips scheduled, ...

Well, I am 5'8" and could could not see my fins when standing in waist deep water, so 3 ft is about right!

Hey Tom, did you see your Sea Lion friend again today? Shortly after we were on the beach, a "lumber yard" began floating by close to shore. Any problems with the exit? Bob

Another vote for the Element. We have an '07 and really like the car. It was originally purchased as a dog friendly car, however it makes a fantastic dive vehicle. Gas mileage is good on the road, but in town is a disappointment. Bob

My dive buddy is my spouse, so I (we) would get the best of both worlds!
Life is good, Bob

Great topic! Here is a picture the we took at Fox Island. It wasn't until we got it downloaded onto the computer that we realized we were looking at 2 crabs! It makes you wonder just how much we are really missing!

Redondo 11-02 about 2pm. We waited in the car for about half an hour for a rain and wind squall to pass. When we dropped there was a crud layer from the wind, but wasn't bad at all. Below was 20+ vis and the temp was 50. There was a strong current on the surface, but was very manageable below 30 ft....

I have lived in Everett, Marysville and now Tacoma. I was worried about Tacoma before we moved here because of it's reputation. There are definitely some areas to stay away from, but we really like it here. The neighborhood we live in is very quiet and safe. It is established with streets that run n...

It looks like my wife and I will be able to make it over for a couple of dives on Saturday. We waited to post because we were unsure of our schedule. Anything that needs to be brought for the BBQ? We were thinking about bringing a great desert cake. What about paper plates and utensils, all covered?...

Went to West Wall this afternoon with my wife and 2 others and we had a great dive! We dropped about 2pm and had about 10 ft. visibility. We ended up getting a little to deep and missed the wall on the first try. Moved up to 45-50 and doubled back onto the wall. Sadly, all of the GPO dens were empty...

A friend and I also dove Les Davis on Friday. We arrived at the parking lot at around 11:30. Had a great dive as well! I love Les Davis, maybe because it's less than 10 minutes from my house. We are fortunate indeed to have the Sound so close. I did see a GPO for the first time at L.D. Down for over...

Really???? Horizon???? I would like to know more!

Hey Ron, I always enjoy opening your post's because the pictures you take are always great!! Would been fun to have joined you. What is the name of the fish in the last picture? Bob

I was going to get a hammerhead, but their site is down and the phone # is disconnected. hmmp. Anybody know anything about the EBS? Anybody got a backplate for sale?Mike I just did a quick Google search and found the web site. http://www.hammerheadscuba.com/default.htm The Hammerhead is a good plat...

Sounds like a great class and I would love to attend. The location is just to far north for me. Do these classes ever happen in the Federal Way/Tacoma area? Thanks, Bob

While I was grabbing tanks the other night, I mentioned to Wally at Tacoma Scuba that I needed to replace the neck seal on my Wife's drysuit. Within 5 minutes, Wally had the old neck seal off and was busy prepping the new seal! We then had to run home and get the dog, it's wonderful living 5 minutes...
