Northwest Dive Club

Back on topic...does 20hours of burn time per battery charge seem realistic ...especially on APril 1st!?!?!

4 tanks, 1 steel. All for $100....old tanks, recent hydros seem to be 86-95?

Saying BCD issue...

I have not tried a weezle..and I am one of those who gets cold very easily. I use a MK3 from Whites and gosh darn...after 10 years of diving (with a trilaminate suit), I am much more comfortable now in that thing. Caveat....be prepared to add extra weight for this though!

Yup. It turned into a bottom timer for my dives last weekend (and possibly this weekend if I can't get it fixed in time). I called the LDS as Scott recommended. The shop apologized for foisting me off to Aqualung...but he wanted me to start there just in case. I didnt' mind, that is where I thought ...

Last weekend my Suunto Vyper would not search for my transmitter to record my air. So it turned into a bottom timer and I used my spg to watch air. Several folks at a dive shop tried to fix it, but couldn't. I spent Monday reading the manual top to bottom. Tried all their tricks...the transmitter is...

We picked up 3 LUX AL 80's (two never used, pristine condition)for $130 total on Saturday at 7am from a Craigslist post. THe guy hadn't returned my call (from the morning) so we called again after 6pm and they told us that they have gotten many calls but no one has followed through. I was thinking w...

Heading to Oahu in May with 4 other non divers to celebrate a 40th birthday. They want to snorkle, and I want to do at least some diving. I won't have a dive buddy, so not sure how much shore diving I can do.. 2 have reservations near Diamond Head at New Otani (1 mile further down the beach from Wai...

Welll now the whole family is goin, so there goes my savings account on a cabin. :angry: Hitting the road northbound. See ya at Sund Rock on Sunday if anybody will be there. :breakdance: :breakdance: :partydance: :partydance: We will be up there on Sunday as well. Either Octo hole or Sund Rock. So ...

Good deal on a drysuit, but too short for me...comes with other items as well! http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/for/1629904537.html NOTE: I'm 5'7" and weight 170lbs with a size 9 foot. Bought this setup from from Hoodsport n' Dive for diving Hood's Canal year round. I'm a tech diver and wash ...

funkydiver and I will be diving LaJolla shores first week in April. I can let ya know how it goes....we will be diving Catalina on the weekend. But our diving in San Diego is mid week and so we won't be able to get out on a charter since they don't run mid week during this time...

People wear SOCKS?!?!

Is the club dive still going on (did a new cruise director agree to take the helm)?

funkydiver and I will be there, but can't handle cruise director responsibilities right now...too many deaths in the family to have energy to focus on directing.

OK so when is the next club dive? we could have a :gunslinger: "my light is brighter than your light show down" :gunslinger: underwater of course. We dont want any innocent people getting blinded. If the club dive is still going on...I will bring mine (21W HID Light Monkey) to play...just...

Thanks everyone. SOunds like the local dive shops DO have suits I can try on. I guess the few shops I have been in lately just didnt' have suits in stock but sounds like others do! I will start checking them out in the next few weeks!

It depends on who you talk to and what options. A whites fusion can be $2400 (for the suit, covering, thermie, boots, bag) It can also be $1600 (lower quality covering, different fusion suit). diverightinscuba.com had it for $1600 yesterday...or was it $1400? Ron at Hoodsport N Dive has two of them ...

I want to try on some drysuits. I know Oregon Underwater (NE Halsey & 122) in portland only has about 5 suits (one brand/style). So I will head over there and try some on. Hydrosports in Salem had 1 used suit. Salem Scuba had a white fusion (but I have decided not to go that route). But any othe...

I doubt she would mind, thanks!...I told her I would put the word out about them, so she gave me her business card so folks could contact her.

Sarah Worth (eric.sarah@gmail.com) left her gloves sitting on the railing at Octopus Hole yesterday. DEEP SIX brand. They were still there at 3pm when we exited the water, but were gone by 330pm when Sarah went back to the dive site to get them. A black truck left the site at the same time we did (a...

Vancouver BC is a fun place to go especially if you wanted to do some non-diving things. YOu can dive just up the Sea2Sky hwy about 20 miles (30?) north of Vancouver on some wrecks. Get your airfills in Vancouver. Don't know how "close" that is. Squamish might have airfills too (they are 2...

Talk to Annette at Rose City Textiles (off 405 near hwy 30)
That is where I get all my goretex for making bivy sacks and waterproof tape for seam sealing, they have neoprene too. So they should have the webbing...

I don't know this dive site well, I should get out there more often... But if some divers had time (and energy/possibly money too!), is there a way to build an alternate route into the water out of the way of the boats? We may have a boatload (dive load?) of decking available in the next few months ...

I have done some short notice cancels...I don't usually feel bad because I know there was someone else they were diving with. Once I had to call my dive buddy at 6am (we were meeting at 730am to carpool up and wanted to give ample notice) and say I came down with a sore throat/cold. Luckily for me, ...
