Northwest Dive Club

My first thought was, "No wonder the board was so quiet yesterday . . ."

Heheh.

Just cause you like to stir the pot doesn't mean I can't enjoy it!

How quickly things change. I may have to bag Tuesday . . . maybe just the first dive . . . I'm not sure. But if I do, I'll go Wednesday for sure. And I can do 1 tank at 6 pm on Thursday before I have to pick up hubby at the airport. Hutch--I won't completely let you down. Geek--Glad you're up for Tu...

Johnbhutch and I are meeting up at Les Davis for 2 evening dives this coming Tuesday. He wants to play with his new light (and no, that is NOT a euphemism, he just got a new canister light) and I'm ready to return to Washington waters after my San Diego foray. We're planning to meet at 6 pm for 2 di...

900 lumens for $450? Really? Is that LED or HID?

Who's Titlow?

Happy birthday grampa

As soon as I posted that I knew that you'd comment, Doug.
We met her that morning and I'm not sure where she is now..........

Paternity suit, anyone?

Happy birthday Ron!

Awesome pics!! These guys qualify as cute.

I sympathize! We had this happen at 3TN one day and I got "turtled." I was having so much fun riding the surge into shore that I let myself get too shallow to stand. So when a wave knocked me over . . . yup, that was me, rolling around on her back, not able to get up out of the surf, letti...

Why thank you! And no, no diving today but I will be making my way down to sunny San Diego so I can dive the next three days. YIPEE!!

I like to soak my mask in bacon grease and then I let giraffes lick the bacon grease off it. Then, I sprinkle paprika on it while it's still covered in giraffe saliva. After it's thoroughly coated in giraffe saliva and paprika, I sandblast it. Next, I boil it in peanut oil for 6 hours. Works like a...

Ok, that's pretty damn cool. This is the kind of stuff that made me want to study marine biology as a kid. Long story as to why I didn't, but still . . . Our oceans are amazing places.

Not to hijack, but will someone please tell me what the hell this means?!? I see it everywhere, and I think I know, but then again, I don't want to assume the worst. google "the shocker"... Yup, that's what I thought. Sigh. Although now that I look really hard, is that the hand gesture yo...

HOLY CRAP! Really?!?

I went through Rescue because I didn't want to do the WRONG thing when the sh!t hit the fan, it gave me a very good insight into what goes on in a panic situation.. I hope that I never will be in one but none of us KNOWS what we will do in a given situation untill we are there, all we can do is tra...

I get it--it's almost harder to dive with a loved one. There's losing a buddy and REALLY losing a buddy. And another thing . . . when I dive with my husband, we assume things we probably shouldn't, and when I dive with someone I don't love and live with, I don't assume anything. And assuming things...

BIG FAN of this...

This one is not a rule of thumb.... Just be safe!

Really?!? How does that fit in with me diving an hp100 for my AOW deep dives, teacher?

Nice pics you two! I'm jealous . . . I've only done DIW once and need to get back out there.

And yeah, don't be afraid to tell people to shut their traps. Of course, I have no shame and don't care if people like me. (You know, maybe that's why Defied and I get along.)
