Northwest Dive Club

Retirement plans... well sort of retirment, me and my brother want to retire in either Costa Rica or our native home of Puerto Rico (I am half rican and he is full rican) and open a Dive, Fishing, & Sailing Charter House attached to a cantina... Im 34 now and we are looking to both retire at 40/...

@NWbrewer I fully understand everything you and others are saying, I dont think I have presented any remarks that would say I dont get that. Certs are nothing more then credentials, you could give them to a blind no legged dog without a tounge but just because he has them doesnt mean anyone will div...

Lol @ Next.... LOL I do tend to ramble both verbally and by text haha... always have. :smt064 @myself lol... Hope that gives you a good idea of where I am going and my mind state regarding diving. Yep, I do have a pretty good idea where you're going and what your state of mind is. Now who wants to h...

@captnjack :smt064 no offense but putting a goal way in the back of your mind is not how one makes accomplishments in my book, the farther back you put things the farther away they can become to obtain. I was raised if you have a goal pursue it fully to your best capablities and always believe in yo...

Just wanted to send a shout out to H20Doctor for agreeing to hook me up with what is going to be a awesome primary in the near future and to coulterboy for pointing me that direction... Baby... I-I-I- Cant Wait..... [/youtube]www.http://youtu.be/v_Yx0X-eHn8[/youtube]

So I am really not a morning person at all... I have a odd work schedule as I am a :dj: so I am confined to diving in the afternoons, eves and nights for the most part. Not to say a dive early in the morning isnt awesome when i can make myself get up early, but I really like my nice warm bed, it awe...

What does YMMV mean? And I am working towards a Dive Instructor Certification (or at least thats the plan) at minimum so this is just one of the steps I need to take in that direction as well. But I am always working on my essentials... After this I will be after the rescue diver cert as well. I am ...

No I think it was more along the lines of nobody has been coming in asking for that cert as much due to the weather lol...

Anyone out there avaiable to help me out with a AOW certification, I called my local shop and they didnt have anything coming up because of the cold weather :calvin: but I would like to get this done to open up my depth and the fact that I will be Diving at night alot due to my schedule. I figure if...

Im up for Sat afternoon or eve somewhere in the Seattle & Surrounding areas...

Ahhh sad that I missed it, I was laying in my bed at 11 looking at the clock on my phone saying I should just go, but I decided against it as I dont want to get a bit more sick so I cant dive for even longer lol.. I am hoping to possibly make it out tomorrow for MMM if the cough and what not gets a ...

I like those lights there buddy... :bounceline: i used to make dive lights..Im retired.. I make custom stuff.. 1 of a kind stuff , no light is the same , If im approached to build a project , and it looks like something i want to do ? maybe..? but as for now im making Video lights.. big bright video...

I really think it may just boils down to the type of person you are and what kind of tools you have in your personal toolbox. I wouldnt expect someone with no experience to be able to go out and build one, so thats not what I am saying. But it just seems like if you have a basic understanding of fab...

Just want to give a heads up, I may not come tomorrow or at least not to dive because I have a cold and was hoping it would be gone by tomorrow. My number is 206-679-0466 if anyone wants to send me a tet to check in with me... Crossing fingers hoping to feel alot better tomorrow!

Thank you for the very non persuasive yet vey educational advice :partyman: I think overall i have a pretty good understanding of where most peepolas are coming from in general, and I know what direction I am going and have a good idea of what I want... I like what I heard about the light with all t...

***Dizzy**** from reading evey post... I just ordered a Q40 and SL4 to use till I can get a good quality primary can light or light cannon or what ever it is that I decide I want and can afford. All I know is I want something that is not to bulky, easy to handle, plenty bright but not to overwhelmin...

@norris LOL at "lead some new divers around day"..... well for what its worth it well appreciated. So sunday sounds like the plan for sure. Anyone coming from Seattle and want to carpool, Im all about the HOV lanes lol... If not I will be in a big brown two tone suburban with some big shin...

Interesting post and comments... I cant say for everyone but I had a pretty great Dive Instructor named Dom up at Underwater Sports on Aurora, between him and Jon Stone (aso helped Alot With Pool Time) I felt extremely compfortable diving in general by the time we went out to Alki to get our final f...

@jeff yeah lets do it, I am hoping to find someone to get out with on Sunday or Sat afternoon but no luck so far. I picked up 2 Catalina S80 tanks the otherday and had them hydro's/vip'd and filled so I am ready to go! I ordered some UK lights (Q40 & SL4) the otherday myself, what is the dusty l...

Wow that is awesome, I need to get some solid dive buddies and plan a trip to do that asap... My buddy and I hit Clear Lake in the Cascades today. Yes, it was cold- but it was also breezy. At one point I looked back at her and noticed a couple of disturbances on the surface. My first guess was a cou...

I live in North Seattle as well, near Green Lake/Ravenna actually right on the freeway (65th/Ravenna Exit) by the Die Bierstube (Awesome Bar)... Looking for some local and close dive buddies to get out there with and hang out with. What part of the Northend are you in? Hello NWDC! I’m addicted to di...

Yes I was raised here but learning about different dive spots currently... I am sure there are plenty I dont know about and would like to find out about outside of the common and most mentioned ones.

@ Jeff Pack: Sounds like we got alot of the same interest man, I live near green lake and definitly looking for some dive buddies in the area. I am pretty flexable over all on when I can dive as I am self employed and from what I hear my boss is pretty a petty cool dude who does mind when I take off...

HOLA PEEPOLA!!! :pirate: Yep, Im a newb for sure... Got certified in May/June at Underwater Sports In North Seattle and I live near Green lake... My Pops was a Deep Sea Diver in the 70's & 80's doing the whole Sat Living In A Bell thing with some crazy depths for back then, he was nuts and was a...
