Northwest Dive Club

Hi Jim- no one said anything to us at all, other than pedestrians asking us the usual dive-related questions (which we love answering). Go for it!

... launch before the boating season gets into gear (hey all you Harborites, anyone want to go poke around sometime?)... When you were diving in the harbor, did you get any attention from the GH police boat? The Lighthouse dive shop mgr in Tacoma has dove there many times on bottle hunts, and he ...

My 2 brothers, their girlfriends, and I spent a couple of days diving in Gig. We had drug "Ugly White Boat" up the previous weekend for ... nudibranchs were everywhere. In between our dives we motored across the harbor for lunch at the Tides. We could have dove the Burton, but we were ...

... kind? It was about about 2-3 inches long, and on the muck bottom of Gig Harbor. My only book with nudis is Whelks to Whales, and it ain't in there. BTW, I saw at least ...

... is always great and alot less worth via boat The old narrows bridge cassions Z's reef = A+ Maury Barges always a good 2nd dive The Quartermaster harbor wreck (by the entrance I forget the name) is fairly interesting but vis is usually awful (at least it always has been for me) Its a bit of a ...

If you open your new beach house to vagrant Oregon divers, I'll help you move We'll have a couple of rigs, so we can drive for air. Not sure on which sites yet- probably the Burton, maybe the Anna Foss. We'll go with the flow depending on how the conditions look. Suggestions?

Gig Harborite here - Tacoma Scuba and Lighthouse Dive Center are the two places I go. TS is cheaper, I think largely because Randy @ LDS doesn't set the prices... Neither are particularly close to water, though, so do you ...

Tacoma is a 10-15 minutes closer than Sound Dive Center in Bremerton, but you don't have to pay to cross the bridge to go to Bremerton. Tacoma Scuba, and Sound Dive Center both have air and 32% banked, and would be able to get you in and out rather quickly. I would say the one advantage to Sound Div...

To the best of my knowledge the only shops even remotely close would be in Tacoma especially if your going by boat. The only other one I know of is Sound dive in bremerton.

A few of us are heading up to Gig Harbor this weekend- any recommendations for air fills in the area? We're bringing a boat load of tanks (literally), but it would be nice to be able to get fills while we're up there. Thanks in advance...

... if there isn't some big to do going on there. There is also a KOA in gig harbor. There is a Camping world in Fife and they usually don't object to people parking in ...

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I actually got wet today! I met up with some folks from Underwater Sports in Tacoma at Sund Rock. It was such a great day and I saw many cool critters during the two dives we did. I will be checking this forum often for dives in the area and hope to meet all of yo...

Missed you at the Tides today... But Welcome to the nuthouse... There's a lot of folks here who love to show off our dive sites... Just keep an eye on the planning section and jump on in... Hope to see you in the water... BTW The dive at the Tides today was a blast!!!

We are the Gigets.

Hi EJ :) There are a bunch of Gig Harborites (Harborians?) in the club, welcome! Shouldn't be a problem finding dive buddies... It'll for sure be easier than finding a state/federal position in Marine Science right now. :/ Lots of cool places ...

Gig Harbor, Tides Tavern dock - about 15 ft, until the silt got all stirred up digging bottles out, when it went down to right about zero... But we had a damn fun time and found some cool bottles!

Jim

Well crud, now the south end folks are going to have to keep the two of us straight... ;) Come up to Port Townsend sometime when the tides are good, it isn't a terrible drive and the diving is fantastic! I'd also come down and dive with you when I have a free day (which won't be for a while, unfortu...

... I feel like I should be doing in this venue. MBDC has a couple of Gig Harbor members. We are fairly common sights at Sunrise and Day Island. Occasionally we do Fox ...

Another club that is active on that side of the bridge is the marker buoy dive club.

New divers are the lifeblood of this board... I'm in puyallup, so hit me up any weekend, or just watch the board here. Also, you might hook up with one of the dive clubs as well (Federal Way Mudsharks, Puget Sound DepthChargers) just for starters((both are on facebook)). I belong to the Mudsharks no...

Welcome Elisa! Yes, You have found the right place! There are actually a few other members on the board over in your neck of the woods! I'm In Lakewood on the, other side of the bridge, but you are welcome to come join us on a few "Thursday Dives" Although I usually do dusk or night dives,...

... is a group doing a dive tomorrow around 10am at the Tides Tavern in Gig Harbor. Come on down and get acquainted even if it's just to visit. It's a friendly bunch and ...

... here in the South Puget Sound. So if there's anyone in the Tacoma/Gig Harbor area that doesn't mind diving with a new diver, I would appreciate the opportunity! ...

... Barbara G at Harper's And the minesweeper in Colvos Passage north of Gig Harbor and the other minesweeper off President's Point near Indianola. Neither really in "Seattle ...
