Northwest Dive Club

I see them all the time while diving at various sites in the sound. Are they that good to eat? My mind says that a clam that big would have to be chewier than octopus.

I have only been to Bonaire once for two weeks and I stayed with Buddy Dive. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with them again. Everything was worth the money paid. The package I had included a two tank boat dive every dive day and the usual unlimited shore diving / rental truck. I have no complaints at a...

I found this NuJol bottle yesterday. While it's not the most amazing looking bottle or valuable at all, the story behind the product is interesting, at least according to this treatise penned in 1949. Thirty years ago the Standard Oil Company became impressed with the methods of the big packing hou...

The slower the fill rate the less heat generated. Wasn't it the master on Kung Fu that always told Grasshopper to have patience? [/quote]Not exactly. There's the same amount of heat of compression going to 500 to 3000 psi in 3 minutes vs. 20 mins (in joules or whatever unit you want to measure in)....

generally in a splatter pattern on the bottoms. That's been my experience. No longer filling at a shop with a water bath, no more tumbles. But, I'm also diligent now to purge the valve. My LDS doesn't use a water bath and has two articles post on the wall that support the practice of dry filling. H...

I would seriously love to join one of your picnic point dives...I've never done it PP is an ok dive, but hardly worth schlepping gear over the bridge. Jeremy loves schlepping gear for dives that are barely worth it. I would seriously love to join one of your picnic point dives...I've never done it ...

Nice work man!

Lots of rotting wood down there just waiting to let go........

Here's the picture that really sums the day up for me: https://scontent-b-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1378596_10201918193417329_564813191_n.jpg Looking at this picture I can't believe I had such a good time yesterday! It was a great group to dive with and we managed to have a great time on the su...

Congratulations on surviving and enjoying your first trip through the pass! It really is a great experience and I might hit the October window for another dose of Deception green magic. As far as lighting for your Gopro, I have had really good luck with the rig that H2O doctor built for me. I don't ...

Here's another two p.s.i. worth...... On my two week trip to Bonaire in January of 2012 I took a full three mil. Water temps were in the 78 to 80 deg. range. After the first three days I quit using it. Just a short sleeve rash guard for BCD friction and board shorts. I honestly had a hard time telli...

I will take the 8" double bands. I will be at the club dive on Saturday and can pick them up afterwards. If that won't work then I will pay pal the money if your willing to ship.

One more canopy here also.

I'm in. See everyone Saturday morning!

Yes thank you Jeremy for putting this dive together! It was an experience I won't forget soon!

I know that the SMB I posted a link to sounds huge but in fact it will fit in a thigh pocket on my dry suit along with the 100' finger spool. Since switching to a BPW I have been diving with it snapped off to the butt D ring. I find it much easier to deploy from this position. Just my two p.s.i........

Wow! +1 on being glad your safe and willing to share your story.

I'm with you on the restrictions but after two cenote dives in February I can hear the siren song of the cave line....... the one that starts past the sign with the skull and crossbones on it........

Glad you liked it. Now you have twice as many hours of the day available to dive!

It has both oral inflation and a bottom fill option for use with your second stage and it won't deflate on the surface. Wi...

Happy birthday Chris! See you in the water soon!

Was letting go of the ascent line to prevent the yoyo stop not an option? I have a strap for ascent line rest stops in high surge areas like Neah Bay. It's about 10 feet long and clips to me and to the ascent line. It wasn't really an option. There was enough current running that I would have had t...

I have a couple dives planned in the Columbia river here at home this fall / winter to try and shoot some video of them in the wild. I have talked to a few different commercial divers with the PUD and they see them fairly regularly.
