Welcome Jeff,
There are a number of club members in PDX as well as further south who travel through to dive the sound/canal area. We should get together.

Re: Greetings from Madras Or.
Welcome Nomad! There's a bunch of pretty active divers just over the hill from you in Salem using Salem Scuba as our LDS. http://www.salemscuba.com/ There's usually a couple opportunities a month to travel up to the Sound or one of our mud holes on the Oregon coast. We also do dives in Clear lake (3...

Re: southern oregon
Welcome to scuba diving and welcome to the NWDC! Most of the divers on this board are in Gods country up around the Sound but you'll find that the information available from these great people and this site will apply to your location too.
Welcome and enjoy the site!

Re: SMBs
Part 2 of the SMB question (at least in my mind) is whats your favorite reel to use with an smb? After reading the Original, original post - I went and bought a simple thumb spool to start out with.
Good discussion - Thanx!

I have already started my swimming refresher course and i am already swimming at least 30 feet underwater in one breath :). Initially it looked so intimidating but now i am really liking it. i hope that my diving also turns out that way! Oh sheesh - you have to know how to swim to be a diver?! Neve...

Re: "What is dangerous" - in scuba diving ??
As far as what's dangerous in diving, I think for now the biggest threat you face is probably inexperience. Get together with some of the trusty buddies on this site, stay shallow, take it slow and easy and get some experience. In a few months you'll have answered a lot of these questions yourself....

Re: DIY thread
Thanks guy's for your input. I take it that overdriving LED's is a no-no and its better to be a bit more conservative and be under the maximum voltage: 7 cells @ 1.2 volts would be max @ 8.4 and 6 cells at 7.2 volts would be even better? I'm also wondering if I should use use D's or C's, something w...

Inspired by all the great videographers on this board, I put my first movie together using video clips of my recent trip to Cozumel. Watching it makes me want to back but also gets me excited about taking videos here in our local waters. :) Wish list: HD camera; housing; flood lights. Oh crap, this ...

Re: zen moments
Funny but I photo'd my dive partner experiencing a "zen moment" last week in Cozumel. Looked really weird watching him doing a drift dive in a "Buddha" pose: He'd drift along using breath/buoyancy to pop over rocks and then back down.
