Northwest Dive Club

Reminds me of the inscriptions on unknown sea areas of ancient maps: "Past here there be monsters"....

Aaaarrrrr.... (Where's my Pirate emoticon?!?)

And definitely, watch out for that Puget Sound Coral Snake at certain dive site toilets!

Yeah, me too... and Calvin, and Dave.

I must confess I haven't been doing surveys though.... I need to get back to it! We need to have some Dive Club members progressing up the ladder of Fish ID folks to help out with identifying the rare Puget Sound Coral Snakes!!!

Wow... Johnny 5, blast from the past! My head hurts!?! ](*,)

Hey Mav, You guys need to take Janna's Fish ID Class!!!

Sparky, the pic you posted does not come through for me...

This is sounding better all the time!

Bassman and mysef and our spouses will be there as soon as we can pull away... noon to oneish is probably a good guess.

Definitely want to get in a couple of Friday dives! Or more?!?

That would be great Sparky... we'll have to talk at the BBQ. Another couple is coming with us and we are hoping to squeeze in a dive, probably Monday evening or night, or Wed day. I know that most people would be working during that time frame. If it doesn't work out this time we'll do it another! S...

Great Report! Thanks Ryan!

I am headed to Cannon Beach Oregon for a few days of R&R, July 10 to 12.

I'll bet you can guess what's coming next?!?! YES, I'd love to squeeze in a dive!

Anybody have any suggestions for a couple of dives that aren't too far away from there????

Thanks in advance!

I can see a couple of coke bottle strapped to your doubles, drop in the mentos, and BAM instant underwater propulsion!

Has anybody tried this underwater?!?!?

Hey Sparky! Looking forward to seeing you and the missus at Hood Canal. Get your Oregonian behind back into the water!! What's the matter with you?!?! :axe: I drove out to Port Townsend Saturday to meet a friend I had yet to dive with. We dove up from the ferry dock a bit behind the Swain's there. V...

Let me add my welcome and thanks again for your thoughts on doubles!

Hope to see you on a dive some time! I'm in the South end... Lakewood, so let us know if you get down this way!

Great Advice everyone... practical and very helpful! Thanks Ryan! :prayer: Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. My main reason for going doubles will be my humongous air consumption. It's getting better, even though I'm only around 40 dives. Good advice as well, Calvin....

I'd like to join you guys if possible. I'm doing a couple of dives in Port Townsend this evening, but I'll check the board tonight and in the morning...

Tom Nic

I'm in, and stoked!!

Welcome Joss!

This is a great place to be to get used to the water in the Sound!

Thanks for posting Amy...

I'm always interested in picking up one of these from time to time, especially the 3 tankers!

Sunday's I'm always booked till afternoon!

Welcome Amy! Again...

Great reminder Amy, and welcome to NWDC!

Where?!?!?

Holy Mackerel Calvin!! Is that you impaled on a leaping dolphin?!?!

Again, WOW! I didn't think it was possible to be MORE interested than I already was! But I am!

I hope everybody brings a buddy to this one...

Wow! Thank you John! :prayer: I'm looking forward to the 15th more than ever! I am one of those divers who would not go back into the water without Insurance after reading Diverdown's posting. I'm a firm believer in the fact that we benefit as much or more from hearing about people's challenges than...

Underwater Sports in Seattle http://www.underwatersports.com/ has their "Diver's Fair July 28- 30, and there are usually some good deals. I'm sure other Dive Shops in the area have annual sales as well that I'm not aware of and other folks on the board could weigh in there? I have seen lots of ...

Ooopppsss... Of course if they are required... Oh well, at least they are sort of cheap.... I beleive standard gloves are 5mm? I know a couple of gals who wear inserts, and the ones that get cold really easy use dry gloves with their dry suit!
