Yeh and if you drink to much you get DCS.
Right on

I just talked to Sparky. As of 4:00pm today he is at OHSU actually in a room. In the morning they are hooking him up to the brain monitors to see what is going on. He and Rose got there at 7:00 this morning and finally at 4:00 got checked in. He would love to have vistors, and will be there till Mon...

Congrats. Eric

Does anybody know how to change a battery on a (Uwatek Aladin sport) computor. I obtained it from Sparky and it has a dead battery.
Doug

I don't know if any of you know, or friend and fellow club member SPARKY, last week had some serious medical issues. Much of his memory is absent, but struggling. Read about it here on facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=616952573. I know many of you have dove with Sparky, he needs ou...

So were you on the scuba shack boat in the crater on the 27th? Beautiful video. I was there with prodiver the 27th in the crater. It was nasty rough and left my camera on the boat.
Doug

Just got back from Maui the 29th. Checked out Honaloa bay and slaughterhouse. Don't get your hopes up, locals were surfing at both locations, and pretty darn rough entry. We ended up diving five caves and a new site to me called white rock. White rock is the beach just south of the Fairmont in Waile...

An amazing story, we want more. I have never met you but thankyou for allowing me to hear your story.
Doug

i'll be staying in Kihei, right across from kam 3. I would love to get together for a day/morning of diving. I thought about going out on a boat also, probably prodiver, been with them before.
Doug

Hey I'm going to be on Maui the 20th, maybe we can hook up and do some shore diving. It is a trip with my Wife so probably one day will be all. I have dove a few sites on Maui. I'm willing to share and also needing a buddy, wifey won't let me solo.
Doug

Anybody have an old sealife dc600 or 500 housing laying around. Maybe one flooded or otherwise useless. I lost the small adapter ring that my wide angle lens snaps onto, ( it attached itself to my lens the first time I removed the lense ). I lost my lens and therfore my adapter ring so now I cannot ...

Hey why don't you come over to Maui, Oct 20th and check out the diving there? What da ya think HUH, HUH?
Doug

Anybody going to Maui in Oct. I just bought tickets 10/20 through 10/29. We could do some shorediving. Otherwise Prodiver here I come.
Killer airfare $133 each way Hawaiian if anybody is interested.
Doug

I dove there also 7/24, There were a huge amount of people but we got the first dive in before it was mucked up. Vis was great about 15-20 foot. If anybody found a wide angle lense for a sealife camera, mine is somewhere around the south end of the north wall/ fishbowl area, oops.

Ditto on Kona Honu, I went with them a couple of years ago. Thought they were very proffessional. On a second note, Jack's customer service is killer.
Doug

Has anybody dove Potlatch State Park? My son is having a open water cert.there 23rd of July. I don't know what is there or if I should even get in the water there, or just skip and go to Sund. Also where would anybody recommend staying for a couple of nights? I have stayed at Glen ayr and been pleas...

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_addiction ....I don't see how this has anything to do with any of us..... http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6031&hilit=Addiction I rest my case! Number 25 seems the most apropos. -Eric I've already checked that thread again, maybe 25 tim...

I would so like to do that.

You bet it would sure be nice to have an entrance like the jetty at florence. I was just looking at it. Couldn't get any better than that.

Amen, I second.

There is no question that as busy as it was Sat., that was a poor choice of route to the point. I understand your frustration with the divers. I just hope that the carelessness and stupidity of a few doesn't ruin it for the many.
Doug

I dive Netarts probably as much as anybody has. Every two weeks if possible. Having property close by I have seen very few issues between boaters and divers. Everytime I dive I use the ramp but try to help out as much as possible. A little good will now and then doesn't hurt at all. I was diving tha...

Yup, that's the place. I heard that they still bring some boats in there too.
Doug

That looks nasty rough to climb between those rocks. I guess I understand now why you didn't dive it. Is that other spot you went up around the bluff, It looks like an old concrete pier with a ladder down the side? If so it kinda looked like it might be interesting.
Doug

OK, I guess it's envy.
