Northwest Dive Club

I have a dumb question about this... I thought i was reading that the dive accident has to be more than 50 miles away from your residence. So if you are diving locally (ie less than 50 miles from home) and you incur an injury/accident...then it wouldn't cover you. Right? :dontknow: You have to be 5...

While I feel Mattley's aggravation... and I'm sorry his drysuit won't get paid for... but diving without DAN insurance makes little sense. Maybe their policiies about where the dive begins and ends is utter crap... I can't imagine paying for a chamber ride. I don't just say that because the closest...

3 of us are diving today at Redondo. Possibly meeting around 4pm (will know more as the day goes on, and we finally leave Portland :calvin: ) It will be low key, going slow kind of day, 2 are newer divers. 1 or 2 dives will be done depending on energy :taco: , libations :partyman: , entertainment :r...

We are diving / meeting at Redondo around 4pm today for a dive as well. MIght be boring for you...might not. But you are welcome to come.

This thread cites a few studies on PVC leaching into water: http://www.gardenerscorner.org/subject076618.htm Well poop! My husband and I just spent all day Saturday replacing what I thought was PVC waterlines for my mom (with more what I thought was PVC waterlines. 74 feet of ditch digging, gravel ...

Good God.....the phrases "stick up your **" and "massive baby fit" have no place on NW Dive Club when those phrases are directed at any individual (I'll leave it up to you to see if they can be used appropriately in some other context). Yet, despite the locking and subsequent un...

Thanks for unlocking this thread mods.... It started out as "dammit, stop polluting a dive site" and degenerated to " you are a bastard and deserve to lick your own balls in prison" But aside from some of this :penelope: , it has turned into a discussion that I found interesting....

this XL should fit you http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/spo/1757341037.html If bob's doesn't fit....check out this one. If he is including the force fins....those are worth $200 (new) if they are regular force fins or $389 if they are the force fin pro. You could resell them and get some money ba...

I am looking forward to the Expo on Saturday, but more looking forward to putting more NWDC names to faces. Now if everyone could just wear name tags or something.....:) I was seriously thinking of donating a supply of "Hello, my name is . . ." stickers at the NWDC booth, but folks would ...

I' I figure when anyone sees me coming they can decide on their own whether to greet me, avoid me, or throw things at me. -Ben I like throwing things. I'll be there on Saturday, definitely. Sunday is up in the air now due to work commitments. I heard those Idaho folks throw rocks....P-pants...you f...

Pre-registration ended on May 15th I think...they may be full by now for all I know....

Funkydiver and I will be there Saturday. We were going to do the treasure hunt...but heard it is a tankload of divers....and with funkydiver being a newer diver, not really something I wanted to subject him too (silt-ups, racing to find the hidden stuff etc). And we would need to stay the night Satt...

US Bank is offering one of those "apply now" specials that allows you to get a $400 ticket right off the bat. You earn miles towards the cost of any ticket...from any carrier. And US Bank told me last month (I haven't checked their website to verify) that any baggage fees you pay, they wou...

Somewhere in that line is a good joke about sex... and only seeing a couple inches... but I'm not going to touch it.

Thanks for all the awesome info! I will be checking out the gloves at the Dive expo on the 23rd and hopefully make a purchase for gloves. My LDS's will be there too so might order the drysuit then too!

Nothing as cool (?) that has already been posted here. Having to bag a body in a river and was still in full rigor (ie stiff). He was face down in the water, elbows on the surface (flat out) and hands pointing toward the bottom of the river. I was given the "head" and someone else took the...

Thanks for the write up!
Me 'n Funkydiver might join you sometime!

Seems like a lot of work for a cheap ticket. I like the idea of a debit card with a milage plan. C.C. are never good! Airsix, whats your opinion? I know you weren't asking for my opinion...haha... but it isn't any work. We don't carry a credit card balance so it doesn't bother me to charge stuff si...

If you were looking at flying to Carib.. Alaska CC has the following mileage "costs" plus $25 if you use the partner airline posted below (copied/pasted from their website): A $25 (USD) nonrefundable fee will be collected per person for each award booked on a partner airline. American Airl...

We looked into this for a few months but darn, we should have asked here too! We just got the Alaska Airlines card about 3 months ago. Yea, it is BOFA...but everyone has something against some bank (my beef is with BofA & usbank...but the mles/card works out for us). There is an annual fee of $7...

You CAN rig this system to maintain the inner seal, but I think most of us doing no-deco dives with this system just take the risk of the suit flood for the comfort of not having to deal with wrist seals. People intentionally rig their suits to remove/not deal with wrist seals? I knew zip seals did...

When talking to Seven Seas yesterday about drysuits, I also checked with them about their drygloves. The system they sell was pretty interesting (to me) in that you are not supposed to leave the cuff (system?) in the suit. You take it off between days of diving to keep the gasket from being damaged/...

I would love to go, and funkydiver might come too. We are booked until first or second weekend in June (how the hell did that happen!?!?). I would love to do a boat dive if we could find a charter...but I am fine with a shore dive as well. I know y'all can't plan around MY schedule...so I will just ...

This is a ton of great replies. Although I didn't ask...thanks for keeping it all on topic too. Sometimes I can't tell sarcasm vs helpful info on the 'net. I was planning on bringing a shortie...but now reading about your 3ml full/long and still getting cold... I might need to go that route as well....

I use a seahore case SE-720. Sold in Vancouver WA (so kinda close to you) but I bought it from Fuetres.com since I didn't know about Vancouver stocking them before I purchased it. Shipping was about $10. http://www.fuertecases.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SE-720&Catego...
