Northwest Dive Club

Bump on an old thread.... Oldsalt, where were you diving off the jetty? on the harbor side, right off town? The wife and I were there this weekend and it looked real tempting as the rec crab pots being pulled looked pretty dang full. nwbobber, did your neighbor say what he was spearing? As a kid we ...

Thats the way it was explained to me: Pony is yours and only yours, let them take your secondary or pull your primary from your mouth, but the pony is yours and yours alone.

Wow, that looks incredibly well preserved! That would be a memorable dive.

See... I didn't overpay you! LoL.

Wished I was headed out the the 4 mile barges with you, have a good dive!

Now I'm really itching to go... the man in the brown shorts just delivered a new Hollis DG03 computer... gotta go try it out!

Anyone?

Sunnyside tonight? 6:30-7pm splash time?

Someone out there must want to get wet????

19' isn't big... LoL... I'm referring to those that have to have the 35'-45' 5th wheels.

I also found a number of my favorite nudibranchs, the Opalescent Nudibranch Hermissenda crassicornis http://www.hershmanphoto.com/Underwater-Photography/Cold-Water-Diving/Neah-Bay-2013/i-qqcdSSf/0/M/_DSC6972-M.jpg That is a great pic, thanks for sharing, I haven't seen one in the water yet, but hop...

We dove the Old Town Dock a couple times last week and didn't taste anything bad..... :confused: LoL! But it does seems to spreading if it hit Dash Point, so maybe it's best to stay away from there until they get the issue repaired. Sooo... anyone up for a cruise down the Sunnyside pipeline? Follow ...

We've got a small lot over on Marrowstone, you can come camp with us Fri-Mon.

We have water/electrical/porta-potti and a small kitchen shed.

No big trailers or RVs unless you are one hell of a driver.

Anyone want to dive Tacoma tomorrow eve 7-ish? I am thinking the waterfront, old town dock area. Viz has sucked the last few dives out there, <10'. or hit the pipeline at Sunnyside, Steillacoom. We dove that on Tues and saw a big octo out there, would like to get out along the pipeline a little furt...

I'm really enjoying diving wet... now I'll probably change my mind come mid-fall, but no dry suit for Timmy until the house sells.

Happy B-day Dusty! Trying to clear up a day or two to come dive with you at the end of the month.

Rebreathers might be something down the road to do, I love the idea of a bubble-less dive and I am definitely a gearhead and like to tinker with things, but I figure I need to start old school and get my experience from the bottom up. I'm even diving a wetsuit until this fall/winter just so I can sa...

I had a great time diving with you Dan; thanks for the invite. We did the Murphy in all it's 5' viz glory and then moved on to the KVI Tower dive site.... now that was one for the books, had to pull myself down the descent line, but once down around 50' and deeper, it was incredible.....easily 35-40...

Thanks Jeff,

Saw that one and called on it already. unfortunately its the 3100+10 Faber, 48lbs dry and -16 on the buoyancy. Ouch!

Tired of being the first guy to thumb the dive.... :(

IIRC my PADI Open Water book, it states that comment about water having 20x the conductivity of air. To me they made it quite clear that a wetsuit will only keep you warm for a X period of time.

Wise words.... infighting will always be a groups biggest enemy.

Monday is out for me, booked in the AM and then going for my first 100'+ dive that eve.

Tues. morning is booked too, so that's out.

Weds. morn is a definite possibility, If so, I'll shoot up Tues night, camp-out and meet you for a 9:20.

Mid-week is a killer for me Dusty, but I'll see what I can do, would love to do a dive up there with you.

Which dives are you looking at doing?

Tim
