Northwest Dive Club

Sounds good, I'll try to get there ASAP (about 3:30). 1st dive (I'm assuming is at Picnic Point).

Jeff

Forgot to ask. What time do we meet up at for PP and Silver Cloud?

If everything goes according to plan, I should be in the area around 15:00 - 16:00

Sherpa, oops, that what my wife calls me!

Jeff

36 mm,
that must be XXL?

Wow, someone must be really bragging?

Thanks for the replies.
I'll plan on meeting you folks at PP and Silver Cloud for a dive(s).

Regarding the current, I'm coming to the conclusion that current swept places are better to dive than non current due to what critters setup shop there. Much better photo shots.

Jeff

nwbrewer,
I'm new here. I've found Picnic Point, but where is Silver Cloud located? I'm planning on traveling to Anacortes on Monday, I might be able to work in a couple of dives with the group.

Question, how current intensive is Picnic Point and Silver Cloud?

Thanks,

Jeff

Welcome Mongo, I live in North Portland (basically on the Columbia river) and travel to Hood Canal, South Puget Sound, and Anacortes (where we have a sailboat) on a regular basis. Keep an eye on the dive planning sub forums for others planning dive trips. Is your wife interested in diving? My spouse...

Bob,
Can you provide more information on the dry suits, such as material, number of dives on them, and prices?

Jeff

Welcome aboard!

Jeff (former redneck)

Steve,
I'm up here in Portland too. I often travel to the south sound and hood canal for dives. Drop a line when your wanting another dive.

Looks like the 12th is the best day for me. Long range weather forecast indicates next week the winds are supposed to moderate a little - so it's good time to install the rolling furler on the sailboat. I'm planning to travel from Portland to Anacortes on Monday. Anyone up for a dive on Monday mid d...

Check with the park ranger that the gate is open to the North Beach lot, it could be closed this time of year. That is not a deal killer, at least in the past they have made special arrangements to have it open for divers. You diving Wed or Thursday? I'm tempted. Its the best shore dive in Washingt...

Tacoma to Anacortes - that's one big area. Anacortes, isn't that where they had the refinery explosion Friday AM?.

Vis on the north wall was outstanding 30 - 40 feet :supz: due to a week of rain and other factors limiting plankton formation. This was the first time I saw a sea squirt, a school of pile perch, school of copper rock fish, Big daddy ling cod - about 3 feet long, and :fish: grand daddy wolf eel. :mer...

I wanted to be there (was already in Anacortes), but had a cable access show to co-host in PDX

Oh well next time

Hey Matt, Where about were you diving on Sucia? I have been wanting to get up there and do some dives myself, but didnt know where to jump in at. Camping is allowed on Sucia isnt it? I usually dive a spot on Ewing island (part of Sucia). Pm me for more specifics or come pick me up in your boat and ...

Rooinater,
I can meet you at Alki, or Alki pipeline, say sometime between 12:00 noon and 1:00 PM. Would that work out for you? It's a new place for both of us.

Hum... Which Friday were you folks thinking about? I was thinking of this Friday 3/26.

Where are you thinking of diving at on Friday? I might be able work a dive into my schedule. I'll be in the Ballard area / Shilshole marina.

Jeff

Did you try Aquatic Sports on Barbur Blvd?

I really want to know if I'm unique that I have time during the work week to dive? Are there any other Retired/Self-Employed people that are willing to dive during the week? I don't think your "that" unique. This world's a changing and people's lifestyles are changing too. For example, wi...

diver hickery I purchased the SeaLife DC1000 Elite setup. It comes with camera, housing, wide angle lens, and external strobe in a nice carrying case with all of the accessories that one would need - all for about $850. Probably not the best camera, but by far not the worst either. It's operation is...

Actually both!
This year we will finish 99 percent of the sailboat's refit - after that it's get out and enjoy sailing and scuba diving from the boat.

Jeff

Hum..., We have a 35 foot sailboat :biggrin: , always (95 percent of the time get 3 day weekends) :clap: , Sometimes get a four day weekend :highfive: , BUT no compressor :ballandchain: . Here are a few other complicating factors :smt065 : 1. We live in Portland OR. 2. Boat is up in Anacortes. :bang...

Yep, I've had it since I could remember - as early as the age of five! Caffeine, stress, anxiety, and non steroidal anti inflammatory (motrin) make it worse. I can usually have some background noise (white noise) going and I don't notice it. I go to be with the radio on 20 min sleep setting. Diving ...

Thanks folks for all the warm welcomes.

Jeff
