Northwest Dive Club

I hear ya on the different computer, but its a crazy jump from that one to others...200+ dollars to be exact. Then again I will need other divers opinons to really nail down what to do and I appreciate it.
I'm going to look at Regs today once Im done with this report.

heh

Thanks Brian, Yeah I assume that I will get a bunch of answers but after reading the reasoning it will make it a little easier for me to make a decision. I will most likely go used on much of my beginning gear, but is there anything that I should asolutely NOT go used on? All answers are appreciated...

Would the Oceanic "Veo 100" Wrist Dive Computer work for now?

I was thinking about picking that up...

So my first class is this Monday and I have been looking around at getting my own gear. I will be honest, this hobby is somewhat expensive so buying things will be a process. I will be renting much at first and my question is "What should I buy first?" I felt that I should ask you all and ...

yarghhh

First Open Water class monday the 29th! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO FAR AWAY!??!?!

That was a great story. Very easy to read and visualize. You got some skillz.

IE 7 here

perhaps its an isolated issue.

Ill troubleshoot today

Does anyone else have any issues with logging in at times? It seems that directly after I log in I will get the "successful login" screen, then the page will refresh and I am asked to log in again. Cleared cookies, temp files and it is still doing it. I will try later today with another br...

Still learning acronyms

SI?

You all are so very helpful!! What I have learned... If i'm going wetsuit during the winter I should limit it to one dive (my intention at first anyways) and I was thinking shallow as 30 - 40ft so that should be ok. Eventually I will buy a drysuit and I assume that after a few winter dives in a wets...

Thanks Bob,
Please define Shallow Dive...

As long as getting out and switching from wetsuit to clothes is a very short time, I should be ok?

Learning so much

Well Im not sure what I used but when I snuck in a few uncertified dives it was in February and I was fine in a wetsuit. Looking around it seems that most wetsuits only go to 7mm. So I assume thats what I used. I really hope I can dive in the winter with one as that is the best visibility around the...

Last question before I move out of the N00b area.

I assume that 7mm wetsuit will be fine in this area. As I understand it, our Puget Sound really doesnt change in tempature that much seasonally....4-5 degrees?

Thoughts?

Taking them right here in Marysville. Dont know where our open water will be but Ill post when I do. Im 3/4 the way through the PADI book now and hope to make it through again before I start class on the 29th. A friend of m mine is joining as well. So two people looking to get some great ideas for s...

Norris, Good to hear you are finally taking the plunge. I was a late bloomer too and now am totally adicted. This is definately the place to find buddies. If you are ever up north let me know, I'm always looking for new buddies. Well considering I live in Marysville that may be pretty soon. Early O...

Well Ill tell ya. The quickness that I recieved responses has really shown me that Googling NW Dive Forums has brought me to the right place. it brought you to a place where there are plenty of people who are extremely unproductive at work due to their enthusiasm for diving! ...and a good spot for ...

Well Ill tell ya. The quickness that I recieved responses has really shown me that Googling NW Dive Forums has brought me to the right place. I have read through some areas on here and I have found a home. Ill keep you all posted as to my cert, and as I understand it, winter diving is the best as vi...

So SCUBA has been something that i have wanted to do all of my life. Well I am settled now and 40 years old and decided its time. I have recieved all my gear for taking the OW course and am slotted to take it in the last week of September. One of my good friends is also getting certified with me and...
