Re: Going to Oregon!

Hey Sparky.

I'll go diving on the coast with you either next weekend or the one after that. I'm pretty new and have never dove the coast before but would love to try it. I live over in Portland so I would love to go someplace closer than Puget Sound.
Let me know if you're interested.

Re: Anyone dive today?

I haven't been to the logging Museum or the zoo but I've heard good things about the zoo at least. Haven't heard anything about the logging museum. I do know there's a great brew pub called The Lucky Labrador on SE 9th and Hawthorne and Forest Park is pretty cool. Still working on getting a coast di...

Re: Memorial Weekend diving.

I can't make it this weekend. I have too much crap to do around the house and I realized I'm the on-call guy at work for the weekend......What a bummer.

Re: Memorial Weekend diving.

I know acouple of folks who have dived this area before and might be willing to go. Unfortunately they are not NWDC members. Maybe AB219 would be willing to go..... I do know, just by looking at the sight, that if you got out in to the channel you would probably end up in the cove a little way down ...

Re: New to the site

Hey Punkrex. Are you an old punk rocker panhandler type? You should come dive with me this Saturday anywhere in the Seatlle / Everett area. We could listen to some Crass.

PS - I also love fruit baskets.

Seattle) but spent a lot of time on the Oregon Coast when I was a kid. After 27 years in Seattle and 5 years in O...

Re: Memorial Weekend diving.

Theres also "The Three Graces" which is farther in to Tillamook Bay by where the channel doglegs to the south. It is right off of Highway 101 and is like a cove surrounded by three large rock formations. I have talked with some guys who have dived the coast a lot and they all say that this...

Re: Diving around Seattle this weekend?

That sounds great Bill. I'll plan on it for Sunday. PM me wih some contact info and we'll meet up. I'll be staying in Auburn so either Les Davis or Redondo would be cool.

Thanks, Dave

Re: Road trip to Octopus Hole

There is a wall there that I have not been to yet. There is supposed to be lots of octo / wolf eel habitat there. I have been told how to get to the wall but have somehow not made it yet. I would meet up there to try and find it if you would like. PM if interested.

Re: Road trip to Octopus Hole

I was there Sat. and Sun. Viz was extremely bad Saturday. Less than a foot at some depths. Went down to almost 70' before it cleared up but then it was dark. Sunday was actually an improvement over Saturday. You can call Hoodsport and Dive for viz reports for the area.

Re: Hood Canal or South Sound, Saturday 5-3

I wish I could say it was actually me in the sasquatch outfit but alas, it isn't. I just don't have any cool dive related photo's yet (too new) and figured for now the coolest thing I could come up with for a picture was this dude on a bike in a sasquatch outfit.

Hello Nick. Iam going to be at Octopus Hole / Sund Rock on both Satuday and Sunday with some people I took my OW class with. I would be glad to do a couple of dives with you as long as you don't mind diving with a newbie.
