Northwest Dive Club

Wonder what your deco time was for this dive?

(think my son has too much time on his hands.) :roll:

Ok dives at Sund Rock today. Viz varied by layers. 15+ feet below 50 feet. Saw six wolfies on the north wall. Pretty lethargic......low oxygen content we assume. Rock fish were in our face all the time on the north wall. South wall had few nudies. Nice group of sea whips around 60 fsw. Only one octo...

Jeeezzzzzz!......and to think that all of this started just because I asked my son to pick up my dry suit which just had a new zipper installed at Hood Sport n Dive.

Wonder what it would have been like if it had been my car from the repair shop?

MZ, That is one nice looking dry suit. New zipper, neck seal has less than 15 dives, .....Fits a 5' 10", 180 lbs, gray hair and mustache,........ wait a minute!!!!!!! :timeout: THAT IS MY DRYSUIT! :tappingfoot: Well, if you can get that much for it in cash, I'll let it go I guess. PapaZ

OK MZ,

Now that you have taken care of THAT END, how about the other end for "BBZ"?

Grandma and I love it! :biggrin:

PapaZ
:roll:

Nice octos........

.....think crab number two was not trying to commit suicide, but just wanted to 'goose' the octo.

Cloud sponges are cool looking. Must do this dive in the future!
Mr. & Mrs. Wolfie were nice.
Nice vid.

6PM dive with MZ. Viz was pretty poor, only 2-4 feet down to 40 fsw, then 'opened up' to 6-8 feet down to 60 fsw. Worked the wall at 45-55 fsw. One octo tucked in, couple nudies, rock fish, one mass of ling cod eggs, but no parent about. 'Bear' is still there. Couple other picts of the dive. Typical...

Oh by the way,

Thought this shirt was very fitting after 18 dives that week:

If you have not been to Roatan, put it on your list to dive there. Just returned from a week of diving out of the Coco View Resort on the south side of the island. Superb! Water temp 81-83. Viz, about 80-120' Water: 'wet' Great wall diving and shallow diving available 24 hours a day/night. Corals, s...

Wish I could join you.

Great video & music.

Two questions, what camera/housing/lights are you using and what multimedia making program?

PapaZ

Looking for best buy on trip/travel (interruption/cancellation-medical) insurance for travel outside of the USA.
I do have DAN preferred, but my wife does not dive.
Also, some trips are not dive related and looking for suggestions.

Tnxs,

PapaZ

Saturday morning, the 16th of January, the Yakima Dive Club boarded the 'Down Time' of PAC Adventure and left Pleasant Harbor Marina into the Hood Canal. Gary, Andrea, Doug, Kenn, Don & Peg dove Pulali Fingers S.E. and Pinnacle. Viz was so-so to 40 fsw, then opened to 20 fsw. Water temperature w...

It could get worse.............they could hire Jim Zorn......

Posted these a few days back and would like a positive id please. In Hood Canal, about 40 fsw.

Thanks,

PapaZ

Welcome aboard Dave, If you have been diving with Mike Z, better watch you pocket book.......he will try to sell you air fill punch cards to the AM/PM air fill station in Shelton. Keeps saying that they offer a special punch card for 5 fills and one free. :) :) :0 Actually, he is pretty special as I...

Nice night dive last night at Hoodsport with MZ and Peg Z. Air temp about 30, 0-8 fsw temp 39, 9-50 fsw temp 48 deg. Had to get to depth to warm up. Came upon a nice 'painted rock'. About 4-6 inches in length. cabweb1.jpg cabweb2.jpg Couple octopi tucked into their 'home's and lots of shrimp & c...

Nice video. Where did you stay while there?

Yes, the name was added to the ship for the movie "Virus" and never removed.
If interested, various web sites with full history of the ship.

About Southpoint Divers: I had a very good experience with them. I did some research via Trip Advisor and others. A couple reports of not so good. Talked to a few locals and they recommended them. I had to rent gear as I only had my mask and regs. As I am OW only, I also had to 'hire' a dive guide f...

Did a two tank dive on the Vandenberg yesterday. Weather was very unusual according to the boat captain. Calm seas and no current. Viz was 50'~ Quick history - Vandenberg was from WWII, then used for NASA, used in movie "Virus" and finally sunk in May 2009 as artificial reef about 5 miles ...
