Northwest Dive Club

dave (ORdiver) and i were minding our own bizness on his RIB, when we noticed all these bubbles coming up in front of the boat, as if there was a freeflowing reg surrounded by a school of farting rockfish. "surely some diver is having a massive problem down there. should we jump in see if we c...

I looked and could not find any laws governing the catch/consumption of grunt sculpins. Knowing the tendancy of us Oregon divers to be spear fisherman I am currently in the development stage of a tiny spear gun geared toward this innocent, yet potentially delicious species. I am thinking of a southe...

You should do an intruductory post that says a little bit about yourself. People will be more likely to respond to your posts. Right now it seems, from your posts, that you may be someone looking for live Grunt Sculpins to put in an aquarium or...eat? Are you a scientist or a strange consumer of liv...

I have seen grunt sculpins in Tillamook Bay along the jetty when the tide was cooperating. They are pretty well camouflaged though and can be hard to spot unless you look but they are definitely out there. There is the Barview Jetty Campground Right by the Tillamook Bay north jetty so if your family...

They are quite nice. I think at least two decades are covered.

Nice work Stan! I do think you might need a few more rod holders though. I'll be up soon to pick up "Scuba Doo 1" and give you some cash to help pay for all that. great job, stan! i wish i had welding skills like that and the space for it too! when you're done with this project, let's talk...

I love the shot of the plumose at the end.

I can't think of any "terrible issues" that this suit would cause for you. I would just get in some shallow water with all your gear on and about 600psi in your tank and get your weighting correct. Keep your weights nearby so that you can add them easily as needed. I get kind of cold so I ...

Did you do this? If so, how'd it go?

I prefer to just strap a pack of cigarettes to my wrist. It is about the size of a predator but far cheaper and less complicated. I am a little disappointed about the lack of features that pertain to diving though.

With a charter.

I'd drive the charter boat for Matt and help drink the beer.

I'll let you know the next time I'm heading out there. Haven't done any crabbing but I know Tillamook Bay is full of clams past where humans with rakes can reach them. There's also some nice sites there to check out the sea life. I will have a boat this summer which will make coastal diving much nic...

You guys should catch a Stanley Cup championship game at a pub up there if you're anywhere near one. It should be fun with the Canucks in it and all, eh.

2 dive on the scooter today was much better than the first, Met up with Mat, Dave and Roger at Les Davis..... interesting how nobody can surface swim when you have a scooter, I was towing 3 diver's at once... me and 2 of them wearing doubles :rofl: :rofl: The Boy scouts that were there must have go...

Mmmmm, tinfoil tastes good. Especially shredded over a bed of baby greens. Or is it tin foil?

How about we just cut off their arms and legs and throw em overboard.

What an amazing and historically significant find. From the reading I learned that Laura had been looking for this for 2 decades. It must be extremely gratifying to have finally found it. Congratulations to both you.

Happy late birthday Kriss. I am currently out of the water with sinus issues. I miss it too.

I haven't dove here since they completed the capping project. Did that make the entry any easier at all? Any harder? I think I need to go crabbing and check it out.

I live in Greenland and cannot get the video on youtube. I think you're wrong about that video Cera. Are you completely certain that video is available in Greenland?

I can hardly wait to watch Stan pull up the anchor in my boat! Ha ha ha ha! It's going to be a great summer.

One of the things they might see on the way down http://youtu.be/fDxBVZhZZwI

This place http://www.rib.net/ is an excellent resource for all things RIB. They seem to be pretty friendly, even to us yankees. I am going to be the proud owner of a 5.4m Avon Searider here in the near future. We should hook up for an outing some time.

Hey Aaron, long time no talk. This site is almost in your back yard.

Hmmm. It's 15 min. closer to Oregon too.
