Northwest Dive Club

Very cool Laura :), you are making me feel so primitive :P. I wasn't even aware they had come out with a new case. Nice to see more options out there for people. I just picked up a Go Pro for a screaming deal, so I should be able to do some comparison footage between it and the Contour soon. Wish Go...

Another vote for the Aloe Gator Gel ( http://www.rei.com/webservices/rei/DisplayStyle/407203?source=gpla&cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-datafeed-_-product-_-407203&mr:trackingCode=9BA515C2-B849-E011-AFD7-001517384908&mr:referralID=NA ). Its like spreading a glue stick on your skin when you put it ...

I came across this video of crystal clear diving in Iceland, I thought people might enjoy it. It looks like the rift is right along the continental plates of North American and Europe, so at some points you can be touching both continents at once. http://geoguides.tv/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/mlu_s...

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing :) Feels like we dove a some of the same places this year. Much of the sea life reminded me of trips to the Caribbean, The Channel Islands, and of course around the Northwest and Canada. Not sure how you created that video in 8 hours, it usually takes me that long...

Epic day on the water, 40-45 foot vis and blue skies :O. Some of the best dives I've done on the coast, it felt like I was in the Channel Islands, but with more life :). I'll post a full trip report with my video once I get a chance to sift through and edit it all. Thanks to Justin for organizing it...

I'll be real curious as to the ocean conditions for Saturday and how the boat ride is as the forecast looks to be rougher than what we had last week. Ron, yeah I think the ocean will be a bit rougher, we will be on a larger boat though (10 person capacity plus crew), so I hoping that will mellow th...

I just signed up for a charter dive out of Newport this Saturday (4/30). Sounded like they have a few spaces left, so I thought I would pass the information along to the board. Commercial dive charter operations on the Oregon coast are pretty rare in my experience, so if people have been wanting to ...

Friday 4/22 Newport Oregon Coast: Offshore visibility was 30+ feet and blue skies. Great day of diving, hopefully the video comes out

I thought I would resurrect this thread and see if anyone had a chance to try out the DUI Electric Dive Wear at the Dive and Travel Expo. I'd love to hear some impressions. I'm especially interested in anyone has heard more details on a release date. My dive buddy is still pretty much on cold water ...

What time of year would that be? Fall? Hey Pete, Here is the season summary from the Hornby Island Diving website November to February - great visibility, sea lions March - herring spawn, an incredible wildlife event April/May - wonderful spring diving with baby jellies, nudibranchs, crabs, fish an...

Thanks everyone for the kind words :) so how was the stay on the wallet....was it worth the cost ? I think the total cost was $550 for the trip, that covered 4 boat dives and the potential for 2 extra night dives, plus 3 meals a day, rooms, and air. We carpooled up six of us in a minivan, so it mini...

At the end of March I had the chance to take a trip to Hornby Island, British Columbia for some diving. I had a great time and I can't say enough nice things about Rob and Amanda Zielinski from Hornby Island Diving. Their diving setup is very comfortable and homey, the proximity of the dive location...

A buddy of mine that won a trip for two to Bonaire at the Treasure Hunt two years ago won a live aboard trip to the Maldives in the Treasure Hunt this year! :O. Can't believe the luck he has! I'm jealous, sounds like an awesome trip. I was stuck home on Oregon this weekend and didn't make it up for ...

I was there in December 2010 for a week. This video was shot then: http://vimeo.com/19023350 . Overall the weather was great. Water temps 86, air temp 85-90. We had two days where is rained, but in both cases it just rained in the morning and cleared off in the afternoon. The rain didn't effect our ...

Here is a link to it on Google Maps. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Whale+Cove,+Depoe+Bay,+OR&aq=2&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=61.669968,49.21875&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Whale+Cove&ll=44.788924,-124.071822&spn=0.006868,0.018057&a...

In a pinch you can just take a spare weight belt with a few extra pounds on it and thread it between your tank straps for an improvised cam band weight. That worked nicely on my last trip to Bonaire, a few pounds on each side of the tank was enough to get my trim sorted. You can put it up on the nec...

This video from DEMA has some nice information on the suit and the undergarments: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPcAZeU6AUQ[/youtube] Looks interesting. As someone who gets hot on the surface, especially on shore hikes or in the summer, the breatheability is pretty compelling. I'd imagine ...

Sometimes Light Monkey can be pretty slow on responding to emails, but I have found if I call them during east coast business hours someone is always available (386-202-4690).

Looks like spatman already has you covered on the ordering source .

I'd really like to make it out for this. Been meaning to get in on a club dive for quite a while and I dive at Sund Rock enough that it is pretty much home base :P If I can make it out I'll bring some Hot Chocolate, mini marshmallows, and my camp stove .

Nice pictures :). My buddy and I were up there for some night dives on Thursday night and a few day dives on Friday. Dipped below freezing at night, but we had some fun dives. I haven't yet finished editing the trip video, but we had a really cool Ling Cod encounter on the first night dive. We came ...

I'm not sure, but I am assuming you are talking about Clear Lake in Oregon. They used to not plow the road in the winter time, so even if the lake wasn't frozen over it would be a real pain to hike your gear down from the road ( http://maps.google.com/maps?q=44.369284,-122.000706&num=1&t=h&a...

CaptnJack, We have been through nearly everything. He has dry gloves with the thickest fleece liners he can find, he wears Weezle booties, and recently got a dry hood. He wears Under Armor Cold Gear Metal as a base layer and we have tried all sorts of undersuits including a Waterproof of Sweden 300g...

selkie, You are totally right, I forgot about that. Sounds like mounting them on the backplate waist strap might be the best option then. My buddy talked about potentially putting them on a tank band, but that would probably put them out of reach for turning them on and off and adjusting the temp. C...

Laura, Thanks for the detailed review. Nice to finally get some information :). He is definitely interested in both headed hands and feet, but it would be great if being modular allows the torso to come out sooner. I was able to come across this post ( http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=50156235...

I was curious if anyone on the board had information on or impressions of the DUI Electric Dive Wear? My dive buddy is so obsessed with the possibility of heated dive undergarments that he is pretty much on dive boycott until we can get our hands on some. Before I turn in to a cyber diver I am hopin...
