Northwest Dive Club

Today was my first day of open water training. :partyman: Am doing my open water with the Ft. Lewis dive center. So far only covered a few chapters in the book and demonstrated basic swimming skills. Think we are pretty lucky doing the cert with Ft Lewis - the pool we use is used during the day by M...

Awsome pictures! I am planning a trip to Curacao the end of October - hopefully my trip will be just as much fun as yours was!

2 XL - color dosen't really matter, but, would prefer navy blue.

Very well put LG!

I am also waiting for word on the safety kits....

Bummer dude!

Let's hope you ex isn't like mine! In '85 we divorced and in '86 I was reassigned to Germany. In '87 my CO received a call from MPI that one of his soldiers was using a stolen idenity.......... My ex had decided to have me declared legally dead!!! Now that was fun!

An excellent class! It served as a gentle reminder that a little planning goes a long way! and it may just save your()or a buddies) life!

My better half and I will be there.

I would be interestied in one of the DAN safety kits.

I'm gonna do my best to get there.

Yea - I'm not looking to purchase till maybe mid September - but the more I look the more choices I have.

Now looking at the ScubaPro computers along with the Oceanic.

Olympic Sports also gives store credit for some of their larger purchases - plus they will let me try out the various pieces of equipment before buying.

I definately agree with mail order - ya may save a few bucks - but when ya need service quick - forget it!

Would need more info ... like ... - male or female? - size and weight? - do you plan to dive regularly in Puget Sound? - how often do you anticipate taking your gear on a warm-water vacation? -male -5'10' 190lbs -most of my diving will be in Puget Sound - however by brother is planning a few trips ...

I am looking for a wrist computer - my first one - and was considering the Suunto Vyper - with virtually no experience - how do these two compare?

My LDS recomended the Suunto Vyper and a SPG.

My son-in-law and I tried it the first time after maybe 1 to many beers we wore most of the coke trying to put the top back on the bottle - it didn't explode..... but next time................

I'm getting ready to start getting my first set of gear. From talking with my LDSs and friends that dive, so far this is what I have come up with: Halcyon 40 lb. Eclipse MC System w/ Aluminum Backplate Scubapro MK25/X600 regulator Suunto Vyper computer Steel 80 or 100 tank Am still not sure of an oc...

Come the end of September I will be looking for partners to start diving with. We'll have to see what we can work out.!

Greetings all! By 15 September I'll be back in the water again! I am signed up for the OW class @ Ft. Lewis beginning on the 4th. The last time I dove was with my uncle in the Chesapeake Bay - in '64! My uncle gave me and my brother a summer of great diving - it took me this long to get back into it!
