Northwest Dive Club

I have been listing the dive sites I have been to around Portland/Vancouver at planyourdive.com I really like that website as the tide graphs are cool -- Someday I will figure out how to read them. I would like to find a person who can dive with me around the Tillamook area sometime. I read the dive...

haha Splatman and I frequent the same dive shop ... go to the same dive site at the same time and I still have not met him

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary on the dives and we headed back south about 1:30 pm
Still getting adjusted to my drysuit but its coming together OK

Ah that is the old ship that was at Maury Island barges.
When I saw it sitting there last summer I expected it to sink pretty quick. I am surprised they could even tow it anyplace

It was a complete floating pile of junk.

I now have 7 dives in my drysuit -- and while I need a lot more practice with it :breakdance: I don't ever plan on diving wet again in the PNW! -- Its just too nice being dry and warm. I can't wait for winter to really enjoy it* * yes I can wait - I am sad summer is over :( Hopefully fall is sunny a...

This dive was a very cool experience! Certainly another one I will put in my rotation for a yearly return visit. Hopefully Gooch comes by with a good report and uploads his critter video! I only got to see crabs, various little fish and a Lions Mane Jelly and didn't drag my camera around. Getting mo...

So they wouldn't do anything for you about it?
Repair it a little more inexpensively / offer a discount upgrade to a different unit?

Ah am making the trek to Newport but if I wasn't I would have gone with you :( I was just thinking of doing another lake dive and the clean up this weekend at Newport -- made me think about calling the people at Lake Merwin and see if we could organize a lake clean up day up there.... Really just to...

There is a little bit of info here

Well I just got one -- Only 5 dives so far. I am not a good person to compare it to anything since its the only and first drysuit I owned or dove but..... It seems indestructible Underwater I don't even notice it The neck seal (no trimming) is comfortable on the surface Likes: XL Tall fits me about ...

Thanks for the info Doug on the old road Doug.
Its too bad its a complete mud hole :(

I will still put it on the list to check out some weekend when I can't make it north and need to burn a tank.

I was just there on Monday for the first time! Cool place - I will visit it again. I agree with what Pogiguy said --- Arrive early early early to ensure a close parking spot. Last monday even on a partly rainy day lot full by 10 AM Its a long long swim to the bouys, but the park is wonderfull and wo...

It is much different than the sound and it's not worth comparing Well Cool! I am going to Newport on the 19th with the 7Cs so now I am really excited. All my diving the past year has been Hood Canal, Puget Sound and Lakes. It would be interesting to jump in the Oregon coast and be surprised by the ...

Does anyone have any first hand info on diving Oregons scuba park at Florence on the North Jetty? http://www.dtmag.com/dive-usa/locations/CentralOregonCoast.htm Its almost typical Oregon to have a scuba park then make you drag around a dive flag or stay within 50 feet of an anchored dive flag :) Mig...

Before I went dry :breakdance: I had a jumpsuit and then a vest/hood combo unit. I found this kept me a lot warmer then the (rental) farmer john unit I was using for the classes. This one http://barescubadiving.com/productimages/large09/elastek-7mm-full.gif And then the hood/vest for it http://bares...

Please Selkie if you get a free moment to look for them that would really be cool :clap: We have to get you out to more interesting dive sites haha Gooch! -- I may move closer to the cool dive sites next summer or fall :) I don't mind driving up to the sound a couple times a month but the drive ever...

Has anyone ever dove in Hagg Lake near Forest Grove?

I hope they add some permanent flags since its a marine park.
No boats and no fishing lets see some big fish move in

It was a cool dive - I look forward to doing it again sometime. This dive was just one to get some more experience with my drysuit and I am happy to report nothing out of the ordinary happened to me :) To get to the big stump -- Enter the water on the other side of the boat ramp. There is a trail do...

A buddy and I are going up to Lake Merwin to do a 1 tank dive over past the boat ramp to try to find the lines and just to see whats going on :) We plan to be up there ... 9ish to 930ish so if anyone else wants to show up -- thats our plan. I just want to practice a bit with my new Drysuit and burn ...

Thanks for the info!

hmmmm I have nothing planned this weekend I wonder if I can dig up a buddy to do a lake dive Saturday AM so I can practice with my new drysuit I feel so bored not having a dive trip lined up this weekend

Seven Seas Scuba in Vancouver - http://www.sevenseasscuba.com/ Is a great local shop close to Portland and they organize monthly dive trips. They will match you up with a buddy if you go to these and your sure to meet a pool of possible buddies for independent dive trips in the future. In September ...

I dove it this weekend wet.
It was pretty cold but on a nice day with a nice fire and good food it was still worth it.

I can't wait to dive it dry next time

Hopefully he can put up No Trespassing signs and direct people to go by his dive shop. There people could sign a waiver if its a liability issue, perhaps even make a donation for site upkeep and be allowed to access the shore to dive. It would be great if he kept all this upkeep money in the bank an...

Check out Seven Sea's Scuba. Its in Vancouver but it is worth the dirve from Portland. Great shop!

I agree! Thats the shop I use
