Northwest Dive Club

Nice new favicon.

Sweet, a babysitter and all. Hope you have fun wherever you end up going.

Indonesia?

Lowell (HuskyChemist) seems to be having a great time in Lembeh Straits He ended up doing 35 or so dives in about 10 days, all from a charter boat that he had to himself.

Great pics and report. Thanks for sharing.

Cats? They seem to work, but then you have to deal with the cats doing their thing in the garden.

Holy Cow! I just finally actually clicked on the images and looked at them in their bigger fuller glory and they are even better than the smaller versions. You must be all a twitter with all those critter to photo and ID. Sounds like you are having a great time, but, the big question is, how is the ...

Details? What's the name? Boy or girl? Weight and length? How long did labor last? Are mom and baby both doing well?

So, if you go by the rule of thumb that you should only scuba dive to twice the depth to which you can free dive, I guess this guy would be going down to 218 m. Dang! That is serious.

I was impressed with the fin, bet he can't frog kick in that thing.

Thanks. Looks like I've got a pretty good consensus confirming my first thoughts. I'll label the first one Maroon hermit (Pagurus hemphilli) and the second Sharp-nosed Crab (Scyra acutifrons). Thanks! If Greg says that is what they are, that is what they are. If you didn't recognize the name, Greg ...

Can't wait until we get there. Will July of 2010 come soon enough? If any of you are interested, we have a couple of spots open.

PM me for details or you can get them here

Not only did I get to go out with this group as a student, I ended up using them for many years with my own students when I was teaching at the Elementary school.

Good stuff.

These situations probably happen more than we would like to admit to.

I have a couple of tide charts but there is no listing for Redondo, kind of like I use Everett to check Mukilteo and Admiralty head for Keystone. Sheahan and I were trying for 7:30 - 8:00 for #1. There is a tidal correction station for Des Moines. You can check out the Tide Planning Page for Redond...

i don't know much about the area for boat diving, but i do know that maury island barges is a quick hop across the water... Always wanted to dive them. Have you ever dove them? i've only been there once, over a year ago. captjack brought his boat down to the dond for a club dive and shuttled me and...

Welcome to the board. This is an active group of divers and I am sure someone will offer to dive with you, especially if you are available on Thursdays....Bassman, where are you?

They do have an automatic renewal option.

I have heard that you can buy reclaimed shot from shooting ranges for pretty cheap. XS Scuba makes some pretty nice pouches that you can get to put the shot into. There are plenty of people who have made their own pouches. A 6 pouch weight belt can be very reasonable. The lead is what is going to co...

This may be old info so take it with a grain of salt. I was told by Canadian friends not to have NITROX stickers on the cylinders. It seems that people were told by the ferry inspector that nitrox is too dangerous to be on the ship! Probably some confusion over dragster fuel or something. A bottle ...

Nice work. Viz looks a little better.

Nice, but, it doesn't appear that it meets the requirements for the Boating Education requirement in Washington.

You need to ask Calvin Tang what your prize is for being #1000. I heard it was going to be something really cool.

I have no clue. At first glance I thought it was an egg mass.

I think it is a compound tunicate.

Welcome and bummer. You are member 1001. Just missed being that special number 1000.

We will see you there. We are meeting at 7.

The barbara G is the big boat. You can find out a ton of info on her in Scott Boyd's Wreck Book or on his website at http://www.boydski.com
