Northwest Dive Club

either of the guys mentioned already for sure! also the team out at Silent World Diving in Bellevue. They may not be DIR-ified, but Craig et al teach a very thorough course and have been encouraging people to become DIVERS in the northwest for what must be 25 years now. PLUS, their checkout dives ar...

Well, if you didn't have a half zillion scooters to build, you'd be at the helm too ;) Course you'd be driving the caboose ;) I didn't want to put you on the 'list' publically until you'd actually agreed to be there... *grin* but YES, Ray is a part of the steering committee even if he's burying hims...

I've been doing what Sounder's getting ready to for 6 months or so now. I have been very very happy with the combo. REI medium weight long underwear XM450's in the winter or for long dives powerstretch 300 gumbysuit for summer or monkeying around... Since going CCR, I only use argon for longer dives...

currently at the helm, Margaret, Rob and myself yes, there will be a member list (unless a member specifically asks to be left off) outreach, education and exploration will be our equally important goals All we request of you would be an open mind. I assume that a lot will become clear once the web ...

Everyone is welcome. (look at my avatar) *grin* we really hope people will come because they want to learn more about another method of diving. It may or may not work with ones current style, and that is up to the individual diver to decide. There are volumes of info online with regards to configura...

the beautiful vis of summer is here!!!! the last few years when it got like this I'd boot scoot out to the Edmonds oil docks... But sadly no more. My prediction is better better better ;) (or is that wishful thinking) 3 years ago this time of year we had 80' vis at the oil docks. You could see the d...

The concept of an 'open door to all divers interested in DIR style diving' will live on at: http://groups.google.com/group/nwue The new homepage will be online shortly at http://www.nwunderwaterexplorers.com/ Please come join us for some dives and a summer BBQ on Alki to celebrate "Northwest Un...

nice footage! Sounds like a sweet dive!

in the current world of 'sport/recreational' decompression diving perhaps ;) No, it's V-planner, and you can now even run your tables on the little box as you used to on your laptop. It's a pretty extensively used piece of decompression software, which means it's about as validated as anything short...

LOL! ya, zyrtec and crabby is understatement! If someone you know and love has significant behavioral changes and suddenly they are not on same wavelength anymore, and its the start of allergy season, might help to ask them if they take zyrtec. I live by claritin D 24. the D-24 part is a time releas...

awesome work, huge thanks to all!!!

I was just gonna say... Knowing how much time it can save a charter boat to have a "real" mooring buoy in place... Also, it's not just gonna be dive charter boats that use these... as has been mentioned, fishing charters will also stop and park at a number of the north and south sound site...

thats a record/video from 2006... it's been making the 'rounds' again with an upswing in popularity of free diving...

current CWA record is 122...

FAR deeper for the variable weight...

Taking a day off work and coming out to volunteer either on the boat or as a volunteer diver is awesome :) Being the '(wo)man behind the mask and/or assistant takes a bit of commitment, as you need to know both the system and 'lesson plan' so to speak and fill out the paperwork, have business licens...

This is a video about Pacific Marine Research, Marine Science Afloat (tm) field trip!! I've been one of their 'underwater' diver scientists since 1991. They are a bit of a shoestring operation that has been around since 1985. This is an awesome promo video, they finally got some angel investor to do...

News flash! so those of you who saw our 'mini-booth' at DEMA or the tacoma dive and travel show may have seen the "blue she-p" and have been curious regarding our release date for the 'next gen' of slightly softer, colored she-p's well, that time is NOW! We are doing a limited edition run ...

Do it, you won't regret it :) if you are not a regular climber tho, don't skimp on gear and avalanche training. www.cascadeclimbers.com has a great 'used gear' forum http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/10/1/The_Yard_Sale plus a lot of great info I've purchased everything except my...

Alki point, this evening, vis 15+ maybe 20 at times...

OH MY GOD THAT IS SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after everyones reports I was a bit worried about doing it in my drysuit, etc... well, verdict is, it's SUPER smooth, and fast and HELLA FUN!!!!!! I probably scootered 3 miles this evening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y'all should come out and give it a try... I just can...

LOL, it coulda been better at 50', but I was going so fast with my new Sidemount Monkey Rig that i was almost scared so I closed my eyes and couldn't really tell ya what vis was <I'm kidding here folks!>

Alki, 5' in the shallows, 10' in the intertidal zone, 10-15 down to ~50'.
