Northwest Dive Club

Welcome Curt!

Tough luck LG! #-o Knowing that I was prone to those kind of incidents is the reason I had folks at the local dive shop trim the seals for me. If it tears while they're doing it, they buy the new seal, if while I'm doing it, I buy it. #-o Don't worry, this will pass and you'll be diving dry and happ...

Tough Stuff...

Sparky, I'd be there for ya bro but I have Rescue pool time and classes from like 1 to 7, and I'll be in Church in the AM. Sorry bro...

Bassman and myself are kicking around a Hood Canal day a week from this Friday... we'll keep you posted in case you wanna call in sick!

Solution - Dive boat with wide open back.

We'll gear you up, lay you down, and roll you off the back. Voila! No back pain issues!

I'd like to learn more about what the situation was where people got bent while following their bendomatics. I personally haven't heard of anyone getting "bent" while following their "bendomatics". It's been more in the vein of light hearted banter / joking as divers compare com...

Tom - do you have the "conservative setting" set on your computer? Not to my knowledge, although I will go back and read my manual again. :book: It has not been an issue / concern for me to this point because I do not dive doubles and have not been below 100 ft, and have not gone into dec...

There's no place on the poll for those of us who use both! [-X I like having a copy on my PC and a hard copy log if I travel to a destination where they want to see it. I love my Oceanic Pro Plus 2, \:D/ and also HATE the software! :violent1: It is not very intuitive or user friendly. I have played ...

Cool! I'm definitely picking this up!

Welcome back!

Cold beats alot of potential PNW divers... but it's SO worth fighting back and fighting through it to the amazing diving we have around here!

Good luck with the cold water!

Thanks for the report! Looking forward to pictures! And yes, I am VERY jealous!

Was the cognac bottle full?

Better safe than sorry... when in doubt, check it out.

Thanks for telling your story.

Sorry to wimp out on you Jeff! ](*,) Bassman is out of commission with a tweaked back either from extending too far on a ladder that needed an additional hand rung on a dive boat :toimonster: or from twisting too far on an extension ladder doing trim on his house and other honeydo's :axe: Normally o...

Great report LG! Thanks for writing about your first "real" :bounce: diving experiences! I remember the same feelings, both the good and the challenging that you describe. It sounds like you responded well to the challenges and enjoyed a couple of great dives! As you continue diving the un...

"The Coroner said the most likely explanation for the high levels of carbon monoxide was that it was "brought about by an idiosyncratic malfunction of the air compressing equipment"." "Idiosyncratic malfunction?!?" ](*,) No disrespect to the lawyers on the board, but do...

Maybe it's because I'm a new diver (1 year Aug 27th! :supz: ) but I log my dives as soon as possible. Downloading the dives from my computer is always fun. I enjoy looking at the profiles, and now that I understand SAC rate better after GD's wonderful gas management seminar I have more to look at! A...

I am 100% cold water dives!

On the other hand, I would LOVE to do some warm water dives!

Great list John! Thanks!

Now, let's see, how many "Scuba Units" would a VERY large book purchase be? Amazon, here I come!

Welcome Rebecca!

Does anybody have an idea of where a good spot to go crabbing in the South Sound is? Bassman and myself wanted to go Thursday. I will research... :book: but was hoping someone had some suggestions. Of course, everyone probably has their super secret awesome crabbing spot that they could tell me abou...

Thanks Bob! I'll update the pic in the gallery!

Thanks Dolphin Diver! We missed you!

No secret, really, just get as close as you can! Plus, you know that for every 100 pics you take maybe 5 or 6 will be really good!

Yep! I confused Baby Costeau with his Daddy! :toimonster: I guess the acorn CAN fall far from the tree when it's a big nut! :toimonster: (Sorry, stupid pun alert) John, I echo your comments about the Discovery Channel's Shark week. You articulated well what I've been thinking as I eagerly tuned in t...

I'm taking my Dan 02 course this month, and am very interested... just trying to figure out how to come up with the $$$! ](*,)

[quote="Calvin Tang"]I don't know who has the better looks out of these two:quote]

Definitely a family resemblance!

Although, people are starting to talk about me as well...
