Northwest Dive Club

Sometimes I see things I don't need but highly covet, like a full-size chrome hammerhead shark. Seen yesterday in downtown San Francisco.

Has anybody here tried one of these?

The article seems to conflate thrust with depth, but whatever.

Just make sure there's no critters living in the trash when you bring it up.

Did another gorgeous dive at Fort Flagler yesterday. Vis 25ft+, max depth 51 ft, 49F. This is my new favorite local dive site. It takes a bit of a swim to get out to the fish havens but it's worth it. Lots of stuff to explore, loads of fish, especially buffalo sculpin hiding everywhere. Slack, again...

We're used to the cold upwelling waters in Puget Sound. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) out in the ocean, however, can be much warmer and affect Neah Bay. Here's the latest chart from NOAA -- notice how the SSTs near the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca are a toasty 15 C (59F) compared to 11C (5...

I'm trying to guess what made the hole.

Hammer and a screwdriver. Then a thin knife is inserted into the hole to cut loose the conch meat.

Then sauteed in a coconut breading... heaven!

I've been calling these cushion stars, but the closest match I can find are the Slime Stars. Is this one?

How was your dive Glenn & Cameron? Did the drysuit fit? Keystone was crazy beautiful!! Hope to dive with you guys soon! It was great! 3 GPOs and zillions of shrimp (are they looking at us? I think they're looking at us. It's like we had an audience of 100,000 shrimp, all evenly spaced apart and sta...

60south, I'll be on the peninsula tomorrow, so if you don't mind a hang along, I'd love to dive with you. Also, if you bring the dry suit, maybe I could give it a test dive for any leaks? Sure thing! Confirmed we're 'go' for meeting at 11am, Pt Whitney. I drive a white Tacoma. Will bring the drysui...

Bump. $20 plus shipping.

I'm pinging my usual buddy for Monday diving at Pt. Whitney. No time yet... Probably meet 11ish?

We dove this site again yesterday... and it was great. No, really. It's a shame the pier is gone but there's still a lot of life out at the fish havens (concrete structures). Vis was 25+. Max depth ~55ft. Wolf eels, old bottles, quillback rockfish, sea pens, the works. Lots to explore. It's super se...

Sold, pending good fit and function test.

I am very interested, but at 6ft 180lb, I'm a little worried about the fit. Where would you say it's short on you?

It's short on the inseam. Torso is plenty long.

Holy Cow. If it's in the condition you represent that's a really good deal to the right person. nearly unbeatable. Those are rugged suits.

It's indestructible. The valves and cuff rings alone are worth the price. I just need to make some space...

Also listed on Craigslist for more.

Stainless steel tank bands for a doubles setup, $30 $20 + shipping. Fit 7.25" tanks, 1.5" width.

Shipping will probably be around $10 unless you can pick them up in Port Townsend.

Oneill wetsuit, $40 + shipping. Size L, 3mm full, rear zip, in great condition -- supple, no bad wrinkles, always stored carefully. I'm 5'11" 220lbs and it's a bit too small for me. Would fit someone 5'10" or shorter, <200 lbs. I'm in Port Townsend and don't get over to the Seattle-side often, so wi...

Bump. HOG price now reduced to $20 + shipping.

Bump. Price drop, now $200.

This is a Viking ProAm 1050 drysuit, size Large. Boot size is maybe size 11-12. It's heavy duty, really heavy duty . I bought it as a spare suit from a fire department but decided it's a tad bit too short for me (I'm 5'11", 220lbs). Anyway... It needed a new zipper, so I used it as a practice drysui...

What size is your BCD? I've got a chest size 46-48" (think L/XL T-shirt). Would you're BCD fit me?

PM sent

Welcome to the board!

Go dry. Sooner or later you'll get too cold in a wetsuit and decide to get a drysuit. Might as well just do it from the start. :-)

I misread the title as Possible Dive Site in Mongolia.

I thought, Wow, that's like super extreme! Hmmm. Is there diving in Mongolia?

Hog 1st and second stages, DIN valve, $20 for both + shipping. Needs service. reg1.jpg I think I also have some brightly colored 2nd stage covers, green and yellow, that I can include. I'm in Port Townsend and don't often get over to the Seattle-side often, so will probably need to send things via m...
