Northwest Dive Club

Thank you, Scott. Very helpful.

did I just highjack my own thread?

Yeah Paul I didn't intend to come across as discouraging. If you know that tech diving is definitely something you want to do that 's great, and asking questions here is a great way to get information, especially before buying any gear. No worries- I'm not discouraged at all. I'm sure that tech is ...

Aren't you working on your OW? Tech training already? :smt064 BUSTED! #-o that's the problem with "cyber diving"; dreams and theory get ahead of practical reality. I have a wing on a BC that has a stretchy outer lycra shell (think fusion drysuit). sounds interesting, what brand is it?

I've been looking at OMS wings. They can be purchased with or without bungees. What are the pros and cons of bungees, and why do some intro to tech classes (I guess it's actually the instructor) specifically prohibit the use of wings with bungees in their class?

I am bouncing off the floor like a Spaulding in an NBA game so it is clear that one can do all the cyber diving in the world but it's going to take real diving to get good. We tried really hard to be aware of silting and to do our best not to make a mess of the cove but we failed miserably of cours...

Geez, Cardiver.Don't you think VD is kind of a personal thing??

What are you doing on the 28th? There's a club dive at Redondo in Federal Way. If you're certified by then, hook up with them, meet some folks and have a "big buddy" take you for a spin around Redondo to show you some cool stuff! Thanks for the invite, I'll plan to make it. What's your bu...

Nice to meet you too, Tom. BTW- just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not really after you!!

Welcome to NWDC, Paulicarp! Glad you joined us! Were you at the City Council meeting along with us? I know that there were 2 or 3 divers that are Mukilteo residents that were there that night for other business....were you one of them? - John I'm sorry to say I was only there in spirit. As I said, ...

Very good point Josh, but Paulicarp - do you like tacos?

IMHO, tacos are a perfectly accepable food to wash down with a tasty ale.

Hi everyone! I'm *almost* a diver. I'm not done with my cert yet, but will be soon. As I was doing some research, I came across a thread here about the new rule against shorediving at Lighthouse Park in Mukilteo. Perfect timing! I was able to get a letter written to Mayor Marine last week from a loc...
