Northwest Dive Club

well, tough or poor ... or a penny-pinching fool that doesn't know any better. i was in the poor category for awhile. wet's do-able, but dry is way, way better!

um ... are you diving in a porcupine patch or do you have some drysuit-eating moths at home? :smt064 do you really enjoy this hobby? (personally i could think of hundreds of other things i'd rather do!) you do know that they actually make DRYsuits that only have holes for your head, arms, and legs, ...

Too bad Thursday, we are diving Mulikteo at 6:00 PM before our first AOW class at 7:30 for the night dive. I figure if I have to rinse my gear I'm getting 2 dives. I'm excites to get the AOW out of the way, by the end of the weekend I'll be certifiable.... I mean certified. yeah; you're probably al...

](*,) again ... stupid job!

true dat; not just a "story" ... so if you're a paraglider or something visiting another country, it's good.

wetsuits are for places like cozumel and bonaire.

Ooops- just re-read the original post- they don't SHOOT to the surface and go unconcious all the time, but they skip deco and ascend at a prescribed "safe" rate, and get into hyperbaric chambers within minutes of surfacing all the time. i've also heard (from a guy who went to DIT) that th...

perhaps "induce" would be a better word?

congratulations, tom! that is fantastic. i know that didn't come about without a lot of hard work! ditto the above comment - i hope you have many more wonderful years together!!!

dude, don't tempt me!!!

i have been trying everything short of quitting my job!!! ](*,) i am going to make one more attempt to get the time off ...

Hey that didn't stop Nailer from going!

lol - sweet!

diver_dave, i'm still trying to take you and bassman up on your super-generous offers. wish me luck with the bosses!

yeah; i'm bummed i couldn't go ... but i need more work on my kicks before i'll be ready for the lake. would love to see any photos you got, though!

For some reason, I doubt these five poachers have a monopoly on wasteful hunting practices. Trust me. I grew up in rural central Washington and observed it every hunting season. that's along the lines of one of the many things i was thinking ... why is it okay to hunt some creatures and not others?...

you get the parking permit from the dive shop on the way. (info here) it's a small parking lot with a port-a-potty.

they used to offer a "northwest dive club" discount - not sure if that's still valid or not, though ...

yikes!!!

:dontknow: that's not very helpful! we had less than 10-foot vis in the san juans on saturday for most of one dive and it was still a great dive. if you want to dive, just go expecting crap for vis and intending to enjoy yourself anyway ... and you might be pleasantly surprised and enjoy yourself an...

horrible compared to what?

such awesome stuff. really loved the pictures - ALL of them!

well, too late but for next time ... NWSD carries a product that is cheaper and does the same job. i always forget what they call it, but my buddy has one he uses because his neck seal is too loose. ask dan; he'll know what you're after ... i think it's a diving concepts product.
