Re: Seattle Area Diving 3/28-3/30

Y'all up for an extra diver or two with you? I'm hoping to splash tomorrow as well... Lots of confusing threads and pms with people who may or may not be able to dive depending on how their day plays out (myself included), so perhaps latching on to some people we know are going to be there is the wa...

Re: Is there a Thursday South Sound dive tomorrow night?

I and a couple of the southsounders are working around commitments earlier in the day, but might be able to swing a later day splash. I'll pm you my #. I had thrown out the possibility of a Kitsap dive because, well, it'd be convenient for me. I'm a newbie, though, and suck air like no tomorrow... s...

Re: Intro...

Kayak diving? How cool is that! Didn't know people did it, but why not... Guess what I'm youtubing after I post. Awesome. Welcome to the board... I'm new to it too, and to diving in general, but it's been great meeting a few new people and they've all been great. Hope your experience is as positive ...

Cold water convert

Ok, all -- I know a whole bunch of you have been telling me how fabulous this whole cold water diving can be -- and not that I didn't believe you, but I just didn't have the experience as I have now -- Had a couple spectacular splashes off in the canal at the pinnacle and Pulali Point with donb -- (...

Re: Kitsap Dive - Sat 3/23 am

So my dive buddy for the above just called had to bail due to allergies or a sinus infection or some such (he didn't sound well, congestion wise)... so this is now gone from a post of a dive to join to a ping to see if anyone wants to do a kitsap dive Sat am... Above suggested or open to a rookie ap...

Re: Thursday Crew Invading Sund Rock!

Likewise... If you wanna dive Hood, hopefully I'll be on your PM shortlist soon... This thursday is an impossibility for me, but when possible and within my current (but hopefully temporary) skill limitations, I'm all about it. Have a great dive, all... Know that I'll be sending positive but envious...

Kitsap Dive - Sat 3/23 am

Hey all, Planning on doing a bi-splash with a buddy at Illahee State Park Sat am. Probably rendezvous 8:15 ish for a first splash prior to 9 and a second after appropriate SI after 10, subject to perhaps minor adjustments, perhaps. For you west-of-the-pond-ers, ping me if you have interest. I'm a re...

Board hiccup?

OK, so I could have sworn I saw some posts on Dive planning for some dives for the next 3 weekends out at sunset, fox and some others... At least the first of which was actually looking like it might be a possibility for me... :calvin: Was there a change of heart or did we experience a board hiccup?...

Re: Three Tree on Pie Day

BTW, Jeff... You say "the usual current"... Is that typical of the site? Even of an ebb or flood? Seemed quite mild and we splashed within an hour or so of slack, I think.

Re: Three Tree on Pie Day

Name's Jason and appreciate you letting me tag along and thanks for the tips, Jeff.. I feel pretty confident that a big part of my boyancy thing here is just I'm still diving with too much weight... obviously have to compensate with BCD, and that compresses and the more it compresses the more unstab...

Re: Hi from the Kitsap --

Thanks for the welcome and I'll take the advice to heart for sure! Good to know about the Edmonds sight and current in general. And btw, I think I'm going to have to spend some time looking at your pics @underthesound-- some funky nudi's you've found, among other things.

Hey all -- Well, first off kudos and thanks to all of you responsible for pulling together what appears to be both a great group of people and a great site.
