Northwest Dive Club

Another cool photo article from the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/17561456 I particularly liked the fact that the previously believed "range" of a hunting GPO has been expanded. Previously thought to be 250 sq meters, they found that large GPOs hunted over an area around 50,000 sq meter...

Jusr read this on the BBC. I never would have suspected!

It's good to see you here, Scott! Welcome to NWDC! This board started years ago as a way for a small "family" of divers wanting to schedule dives with each other, and boy has it grown! Organizing dives is still the main purpose, but the "family" is much, much larger! Like most fa...

Done. LIFT BAG IS NOW SOLD.

FOR SALE: ProTec vented helmet. Originally for whitewater use, I used it in scuba diving to attach lights for hands-free use in low-light situations. I have a large head, and this helmet was able to fit over a 1/4 inch wetsuit hood.

FOR SALE: Matched set of two Abyss Explorer DIN regulators for double-tank set up. Abyss no longer exists as a company, but these regulators consist of two primary parts from two seperate companies that are both still around and thriving. Hence, parts and repairs are no problem. I have verified that...

In my opinion, locally made (Enumclaw) Carter Lift bags are some of the best in the world. This is an open-bottom bag with 100 pound lift and dump valve. I've used it for decompression hangs as well as for underwater salvage. Carter sells them new for $98.00. This one is in very good/like new condit...

Quote from the UK website: "The UK Game Bag is the best bag ever for diving. Use it as a gear bag to haul mask, fins, snorkel, regulator etc. onto the dive boat or to the beach. In the water, the Game Bag folds in-half and snaps together for clipping on your weight belt or BC. A three point str...

What truly matters on a rebreather is logged, verified hours, not dives. Rebreathers are about controlling your physiological needs in a steady state, for prolonged periods of time, and dealing with the failures that occur. The ones that happen right away aren't interesting - they basically tell yo...

The good guys win again! Great job, Randy!!!!

Welcome to NWDC! Anyone that can handle Chris is obviously tough as nails!

Yesterday I met a diver at my place that was picking up some gear that I was selling. He mentioned that he had seen this BCD on the board, but since he "wasn't interested in tech diving it wasn't something he was interested in". That comment surprised me! Just so that folks know and unders...

It's yours, buddy!!! SOLD.

Kent Tooling in the United Kingdom makes some of the most highly respected reels in the diving world, their "Ratchet Reels" being solid as steel, reliable, and extremely simple to use. It is one of the easiest reels to deploy that I have ever used and the ratchet enables the diver to lock ...
