Northwest Dive Club

We had a solid 30ft in places yesterday morning at Cove2. I am ready to get a full face set up for jelly season though, no OOG's doug. We need to do a better job slicing and dicing the jellies. You around on Saturday? Doing a skills dive in the AM at Cove 2, but if you wanted to scooter at some poi...

Come on Jeff; we all know you enjoy a good CCR Solo dive every once in a while - with a cup of tea.

How was the "Leg Grinder" approach?
Always a fun one.

Yah Yah, I am dissapointed I missed it.
I am crossing my fingers for the next one Aug 5th.

Nice Pics!!

Thanks :rr:

Ok NWDiveClubbers, seems like you are dominating my Charter on Sunday, I have 2 spots open, one was a cancellation and his buddy is left without one. I said I would put the word out for her. Let me know if there are any takers. Deep Sea Charter Sunday, board at 9:00 - 9:30, still watching the weathe...

hey hey, I like Doug. You guys are way off base, he would never pull such a prank, and if he did, it couldn't be deep enough to matter.

Ahhh come on, poor Spokanians, I was just out there last weekend, and to my suprise; they have some good lake diving. Cool wrecks at recreational depths, and some deeper ones too.

Cool, another person to check out is Scooter Sellers underseaadventures.com
He is also NAUI-Tec and is the top dog with NAUI-Tec for cave training, originally trained by Jarod Jablonski, and I hear his reputation is strong in all Cave circles, which I guess can be hard to find.

Dang, I am green with envey. One of these days I will tri mix certified to do dives like that. Charles Nice Shots! Yes proper training and helium is the best way to approach this wreck, the vis has been fantastic in the lake this last month. I concentrate a good portion of my Tech Courses in lake w...

I heard that some people evn eat them raw.

mmmm...just tell the Sushi Chef "Ama Ebi", he might bring you the fried heads too, with lemon they are actually pretty tastey. Although the eyeballs can be a little funky.

My existance based on the tiny world my HID allows, a reel line, him with a camera and only the desert to explore. Dude, that is downright poetic . . . =D> :partyman: no kidding, when the diving juices are flowing (No I am not referring to kool-aid Doug) my expressions unleash. yes Dan has solid vi...

This is a few local guys, including Dan Warter who puts up with me at NWSD. They're doing some pretty cool dives and some nice work with the video camera, and have a new website . Thought some of you might find it interesting. And not to mention, he's Vegan too, no; kidding aside Dan has an amazing...

yah yah yah, we didn't see it, even Dan and BDub on Scooties didn't see it.

Amazing how fast we can lose our gas in a failure, specially towards the end of the dive, cheers for zero feet.

Bubble checks?

Ahh the decision between eCCR and mCCR, first off beware of the statistics, the majority of CCR deaths were before mCCR became mainstream, and be careful to boast those numbers if you are a mCCR diver or want to be one. Murphy's law is pretty active in the RB arena. Whether it be KISS, Vision, Apecs...

I like silent diving

Doug we can talk in great detail as well as workshop the skills involved.
There of course more variables concerning your ascent, but there are also methods to determing what might be wrong within the CCR diver's loop.

Regarding CCR deaths. I believe the #'s are around 43 private CCR diver deaths, but that # can be debated. Nearly all were during the dawn of the Inspo, mostly credited to lack of refined training. For a period there were hardly an instance, the last 2 years the numbers have increased. Most have bee...

EV0 & INSPO are the only CCR's on the market with CE rating, whether that means anything. Many rebreather deaths have occured with no reason why just as OC, as I said the CCR will just play more active of a role. Hypercapnia is the least of troubles in modern design CCR, it is a technology a cen...

I will plunk down my 2cents although that's about all it's worth. Like I say CCR is not for everyone, and CCR's don't kill divers, divers kill divers, CCR will play more of an active roll than OC. Search long and hard within before making the plunge and dive the unit you are most comfortable with. Y...

Sounds like a blast, W.A. is on my ticklist.
