Northwest Dive Club

Was a lot of fun, meeting more new dive friends, diving with new friends, and enjoying both awesome vis and yummy food. Thank you Penopolypants for putting this together. Looking forward to doing it again! And thanks to Bob for bailing me out on my shortfill tank. Awesome pics everyone.

Wow...did I just read that Matt has a dive van that has red shag carpet and a waterbed in the back, and he wants to break it in and is bringing it to the club dive, but is worried about protection??????

:norris:

So Joshua, you bringing tomatoes, lettuce, ect? If not we can bring some.

Let me know if there are no pickles, relish, tomatoes, ect. I can always pick up some on they way. Also diving Friday night, day island, so will be down to one tank each for saturday. Maybe a run to Dave's shop in Federal way for more air mid day is in order?

Ok Mrs Gdog just said crispy creme.....so we will bring a few dozen yummy little crispy cremes!

Mr and Mrs Gdog are in, is there a list of food being brought/needed?

hen I first read "breaking in the new dive van" I had a totally different mental image...

Lol...have to say, so did I

My foe is blacktail deer. They seem to really enjoy the leaves on my strawberry plants. And last year, they put their lips on eveyr single ripe tomato I had, and bit a small bite out of each one. So this year...Im thinking blowgun for venison!!!!

and wow...please forgive my poor spelling in the previous post....maybe a bit too much scotch tonite?
Please feel free to totally disregard both of these posts...lol

Actually, deep cycle batteries contain a higher content of antimony, with thicker plates and denser paste, with thicker separater envelopes. They can handle fuller deeper cycling than the regular lead acid battery as a result. They tipically have less cranking amps as well. Also, Interstate batterie...

Where did you dive?

Flagpole Point 5.5.12
15-40fsw, about 5'. 45-90fsw, 20' vis. Lots of fish life at depth. Sponges looked great.

Nice. I need one of those.

Jeff, it is as steep as the photo shows, but not too far. We take our time, and we lug our stuff to the beach and then setup. It takes a few trips, but I dont have the desire to fall down the hill in full gear and tanks. If the ground is muddy from rain, that could be really interesting.

If you lost a mask and snorkel at Redondo this last weekend, message me, describe it, and we can reunite you!

Night dive is right. Went to 102ft, was almost zero ambient light.

Redondo today, the 22, vis was soup down to about 30 fsw, then went from like 3' to 20'+.

Was a fun time today at Expo, saw some of you. Probably saw more than that, but unfortunately, no avatars on your shirts. Will be back Sunday again.

I plan on being there both days.

Ok, went for a pair myself. Figuring XXL, as I wear a size 11 shoe, and have the built in rubber boots on my Andys drysuit. My old Mares Quattros are about worn out. Cant wait to strap them on!

Tuesday, Sund Rock South Wall. Vis ~5', down to about 20fsw, then opened up to about 30'. Still cold, my dive computer said 44 degrees. Several Wolfies, but only one Octo to be found.

Saturday for seminars, Sunday to take buddy who has to work on Saturday. Thinking about yet again joining the freeforall they call the treasure hunt. Been a while since I had my reg kicked out of my mouth while holding onto my mask to keep it on my head, all in a total silt-out.

Been wondering, what kind of camera setup do you have?

The biggest Octo Ive seen in a while was at Cove 2 yesterday, usual spot. HUGE suckers. Also a couple stubby squid.

Cove 2, Monday the 16th, 15-20' at 50-75 fsw. Snot in water.
