Northwest Dive Club

Yes Jen I was addressing Mat (Spatman's) comments from our local Portland Craig’s list. Sorry if I was not clear but I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday. And to top off losing my wisdom I am on good drugs today.

Matt,

I read that this morning. I am not sure how I feel about it. On one level I agree with it and the guy anoys me and on the other hand now I just ignore the guys stuff. However today I just don't care because I am on vicoden.

then again there has been the occasional nutjob

Kat, you realy shouldn't refer to yourself as a nutjob people who haven’t met you may believe you.

I will put it on my calander

I like to do Clear Lake each summer and I might be able to make the 11th.

Cresent Lake East Beach Sunday – Visibility was 60-70 ft and there was no kelp to interfere with my visibility. It was a great dive to rinse the gear.

Salt Creek Saturday – visibility was about 20-25 ft with the exception of when I had kelp wrapped around my head then the visibility was 0 ft.

Yep Oldred, I spent some time in the Golf as a glorified underwater ditch digger. Like they say diving is not the job it is only a way to commute to work.

Welcome Oldred,

And welcome fellow DIT alumni, class 109-85 here

I like the list price for return "a dive or two"

Thanks Camerone, I copied and printed your post from last year when someone was making this trip and asked the same questions. I am looking forward to trying out the Olympic Bagel Bakery if it still exist. CaptainJack, Thanks for the link and information I think I will rent a couple tanks so we have...

My Dive buddy Ross AKA Archaeofish and I are planning to camp at Salt Creek and dive this weekend. We also plan to dive Crescent Lake. Are there other alternate sites that we can dive in the area? Were is the closest place to get good air? Is there a dive shop in Sequim? Are there dive directions an...

Sorry, the 14th is out for me, I will be at Salt Creek that weekend. I may be able to do the 28th if every thing goes well on the 26th when I have my wisdom teeth pulled.

At Pt. Whitney / Shellfish lab maybe 10’ of visibility at extreme low tide this morning. The students couldn’t swim far enough out the pipeline to get bellow 30’. Visibility was a little better maybe 15’ after the tide turned and started to flood.

The Salem shops dive at Big Cliff Reservoir bellow Detroit Reservoir. You guys pick a lake to dive and I will show up if I can. I would like to dive with a group of Oregon divers without driving to the Sound.

No giant stride needed when the boat rolls turtle just let go. Negative buoyancy will be the key. Getting back on the boat is another trick. You could attempt to time surfacing under the boat as it rolls thus returning to the position you abandoned or you could surface up wind of the boat and ride a...

Is that hand signal you are sporting in your avatar the international reply to an out of air buddy?

The BC you are looking at only has a lift capacity of 37lb for the XL size. It is not a good idea to use more weight than the BC will lift. However, I am sure that the weight you use will be reduced as you gain experience. You might want to talk to your local dive shop and or your instructor.

I think that the tide still has an influence there. If you hit it on the incoming tide there would be very little current. Very little visibility almost all of the time. The tide affects all the way to the Bonneville Dam. However with spring runoff the river does not slack until mid to late summer ...

Mat,

If you want to go check it out I can meet you there but I am not free until friday evening.

Jeff

Dr.,
Can you turn one of the water bottles into a can light?

Now we're getting somewhere!

Yeah down stream!

Yep I put a pilfer dive gear here sticker on my dive box.

Maybe it was just me that did that.

Hmmm can you say bitter end (as it goes over the side because you did't tie it off)
