Northwest Dive Club

And, after another week and a half of waiting for someone that "is definitely going to buy it," deal falls apart. Lesson learned is that (a) first person with cash gets this, I'm not committing again to the out of town type that "really wants it but can't get up there for a week or tw...

Great video! I have to go back and dive that again sometime. My one and only dive on it was kind of a disaster. I got the cord to my can light caught on the boat as I did a giant stride off the side, which tore the goodman handle off the light head. Light still worked, so I decided to do the dive a...

That's a beautiful boat and a really good price. Wish I could pull the trigger on it but I can't. I just swiped the 3rd pic down for my desktop background so I can dream.. right now I'm at Starbucks making putt putt sounds and people are looking at me like I'm crazy.... You'd think they've never se...

Boat is coming back from PA this Friday and I'll have it together to show starting on Sunday. New price, $14k, if you're looking for a dialed in scuba vehicle, this is it.

Agree. Its not like an oyster farm lease or marina lease (or timber sale) has to prove they have a net beneficial biological impact. None of them do from a biomass or biodiversity perspective. Those activities are targeting the economic development personality of DNR and if there's enough economic ...

There may be merit in framing sinking ships and other similar structures not as "artificial reefs", which does imply a "marine life enhancement" conservation benefit, but rather as an underwater attraction for promoting ecotourism. This focuses the question more on the economics...

Interesting response. On the permitting side of things (something I do professionally) if this ever gathers enough momentum, I'd be willing to offer help on the legal side of things pro bono if my workload permitted. Would be an interesting nut to crack. But, ultimately, this is a political issue th...

... a lot of people who don't scooter also don't realize how quickly a dive can go sideways on one ... everything kinda happens in fast-forward time ... it's one of the things that can take you by surprise, especially if you're like me and don't use the thing very often ... ...

Why do you guys always insist on scheduling tech 1 in March? Seems like an annual occurance. Brrrr with mask off.

Give it time, it will disappear, there is a reason that beach is cobbles.

What is especially funny to me is that I KNOW Marc doesn't need to use a bag as a crutch, and I'm pretty danm sure Josh doesn't need to either. All this debate bag no bag (douche or otherwise) really doesn't apply to these two guys or this dive.

Good story Josh, and agreed, Marc is cool in these types of situations. Welcome to the "lets not try that again!" again club. I've never quite been there, but this somewhat reminds me of the time Richard, Rob and I tried to scooter from Washington Park to Skyline. We set our compasses, hea...

I'm rooting for Team C.

Now they are owned by Symantec. Their products have always been more Techie than User Friendly. But, not a lot of competition so they have survived. This latest thing is a new low though. No warning. Just encrypt the disk. Then a "no problem just download our iso file, find a burner that will ...

Can't help you, but seeing PGP brought back memories, my Dad started that company in the mid-90s.

Hot topic. From a personal perspective, a good friend of ours just got t-boned by a woman who accelerated to try and get through a yellow light. Her car was crushed like a can, and she's lucky to have not been hurt worse than she was. Laws are there for a reason, people . . .

Where is the face-palm smiley?

Ooooooh new avatar!!! :penelope: steding must be weeping tears of joy. Dude, keep up. Steding doesn't dive anymore, and doesn't check the board. He found a wife and soon after found a smallish version of himself, and clearly such material possessions have distracted him away from what really matter...

If you are looking to move up, I still have mine. In PA for the winter, but we should talk if you are interested.

Josh made a funny.

Actually, I was thinking that dive boats should really carry one of those to attract the attention of boaters after they've failed to notice the dive + alpha flags being flown and are still headed directly over a dive site... I totally agree. There are several "distraction devices" that c...

They'll all be puking brown goo by, oh, Monday at the latest.

sailflow.com is another good resource.

Well, I use a 40 lb wing with double LP 85s or double HP 100s, and I KNOW it will easily keep the tanks at the surface, because we doff gear in the water to get back on our boat :) It's fine with one deco bottle, but beyond that, i'd want more lift at the surface, because I like to be able to get m...
