San Salvador?!?!? Awesome! I was spent 6 years of my childhood down there, falling in love with tropical lakes, skin diving / snorkeling, and had my first tast of the ocean there. Let us know if there's any good diving to be had!

Speaking of food, what's the chance of picking up something edible for the bunch of us while we are underwater?!?!? (except for Sea Cucumbers, of course!)

Is crab season open? Lings? Scallops? That would be so cool!

Welcome Sounder! Hey, I've got a great idea for what you can get the future Mrs. Sounder for a wedding gift!! \:D/ Christmas maybe?!? :santa: Let's see, DUI, USIA, Apollo.... who else makes dry suits?!?!? Not that you would have any ulterior motivation in that purchase! [-X :axe: But then, keeping y...

As long as it's not Sunday AM and I'm in town, count me in!

Advanced Diver Magazine?

I've never done this dive either, but have heard LOTS about it. It is kind of the Holy Grail for wreck diving here in our neck of the woods. It is a deep dive, but doable. I would suggest an experienced charter rather than taking a boat and doing it on your own. Teal Water Charters has July 29 to Au...

"I ended up being the hunted"?!?!

Wow! Now there is a story that BEGS to be told!

Do tell!

Dave, Bassman and myself will know our Summer Schedules as soon as he gets his shift schedule from AS around June 2nd. We are right now shooting for June 24 to June 27! As soon as he knows his shifts we will confirm! Can hardly wait!

I went Saturday, and it was amazing! In a sense it's almost "better" than real life.... i.e. animals floating off the screen and into your lap! (Of course NOTHING is better than the real thing!

Don't miss this IMAX flick!!!!

And thanks Calvin! It's a full time job keeping all of us non-techies from messing up the site! ](*,)

I'll try again next time!

I haven't heard of that, Sparky.

Cesarea is a really cool place above water... Roman amphitheatre, Aqueducts, etc. It must be amazing underwater. I am definitely going to try and sneak away from our tour for a dive or two next year!

Here's the article

This looks like an amazing dive site! What a great idea in an archeology rich part of the world. I could see Egypt, Greece, or Turkey following suit with some of it's underwater sites.

(Sorry I couldn't figure out how to properly post the URL. Help Calvin!) ](*,)

And for the right price, my lips are sealed!

I will echo Bassman's appreciation of Titlow. Always lots to see, easy access, and Steamer's restaurant for after dive relaxation! That being said, I'm still a relative newby with 27 dives (but who's counting?!?), so I've still got LOTS of time to explore new sites in our great Pacific Northwest! :s...

Greece! Hmmm.... sounds interesting!

I'm going to Israel in July of 07 and have been making plans to dive the Red Sea out of Eilat for 2 to 4 days.

I had been looking at a cruise of some of the Greek Islands, maybe I need to be planning a dive trip there as well!!

Nope! It wasn't me... though I'm thinking of diving with Brian this Friday if I can swing it.

I guess I'm not the only diving preacher!

Hi Sparky! Would love to hear from your sweetheart, and Bible studies can be a blast if you do them right! :book: ...and of course I wouldn't want to be "pushy" for any who don't share that persuasion! I also get to hang out with God when I'm diving in the great outdoors! Bassman and I bot...

I should be able to join Bassman for the trek, and as he said, we'll see about our wives.

I would bug out Sat evening to go back to Lakewood and do Church, but could head out again Sunday afternoon if there is still diving goin' on!

Hi Dave, Bassman and myself are trying to carve out 4 days or so in June or July (Sat PM to Tuesday or Wed). We'll let you know when we come to an agreement with our better halves!! Your invites have been noticed (THANKS!!!) :salute: :notworthy: and we've been drooling over the prospect for a while ...

I have a USIA Aqua Pro Plus. I've got about 20 dives on it, and so far it has been a great suit. I went with a custom suit to fit my mutant fat boy body, (I'm thinking of starting the fat old geezer division of Northwest Dive Club!) I needed a pretty tough suit to survive bumps and scrapes, and it h...

Also, my calendar shows June 24 as a Saturday, not a Friday....

Is my calendar off or yours????

I'll be at one of your classes, either at the Seattle Acquarium, or at Orcas! I do want to do the PADI specialty, so we'll talk about doing the dives as well.

Thanks Janna!

I'm also OK with Sunday dives as long as they are Sunday afternoon or evening.

I'm OK with the dives on Saturday in the afternoon.

Janna?

Dave?

Any updates here? Is anybody committed besides Calvin, Dave, and Myself?!? Come on guys! It would be a shame to not be able to do this class with Janna!
