I am planning on diving early Thursday. Kelly, mind if I join you?

I will be going to Cancun in March for a vacation that I am turning into a diving vacation. We are staying at Dreams Playa Mujeres which is just north of Cancun. There is a concierge at the resort obviously, but would I be better off making my own diving reservations prior to arrival or letting the ...

Gotta work. I can usually get out for one dive during the week, but I like to use my one chit for the ThThTh dive at Redondo.

Are you coming to ThThTh? So we’ll get to see the new dive mobile.

If I don't dive tonight with UWS Tacoma at Les Davis, then I will be there hopefully for the pre-spalsh splash.

I'll be in a Blue 2011 Chevy Silverado. I'll look for you.

Anytime you need a dive buddy let me know. I can make myself available most any Saturday and sometimes during the week as well. I’d love to join you.

Eddie- there is a Tacoma Scuba shop dive at Les Davis on Saturday 1/6 at 9:30am. I am doing it. Lots to see at Les Davis, relative easy entry. I plan on two dives. Come and join me.

My diving New Years resolution for 2018 is to progress through the PADI progression and start my dive master cert by Thanksgiving with 100 dives.

I’m doing my Rescue Diver course in January. If I can average 8 dives a month I will meet my goal.

Drove up the Pt Whitney on Hood Canal this morning to join a dive with Underwater Sports Olympia. Long drive for very little to see. I did get in some great practice and was able to dive with 6 lbs less lead than yesterday. My lead load is now down to 34 lbs, down from a high 46 2 weeks ago. Bouyanc...

Dereck said he was with another NWDC member, but didn’t say it was you. Bummer! Keep that shirt, we’ll meet up sooner or later.

Met with Kelly (Honudavis) at Redondo this morning at 8:00am. We have had a ton of rain in the last few days and the drainage pipe near the steps had a heavy flow of fresh water. This created zero visibility as far down as 50’ where we decided to call the dive. Visibility was so bad, I could not see...

Excellent! See you at 8:00. Anyone else want to dive tomorrow, we’ll see you then.

I am a new diver (Nov '17) with my Advanced Open Water, Nitrox and Dry Suit certifications. I prefer to dive Saturday mornings. Since I am fairly new, any kind of dive is cool with me. I live in Puyallup, but don't mind driving to a good dive site. PM me if you need buddy for a dive or don't mind a ...

B- There is a dive at Pt Whitney on Hood Canal on Sunday morning. It is Underwater Sports Olympia fundive. We are meeting at the Hoodsport IGA at 8:30am. I need a dive buddy as well. Pt. Whitney is a crazy easy entry and the weather should be great. I'll be in a Blue 2011 Chevy Silverado. PM me if y...

Blue, Please.

If this sounds like a plan, then respond here. I would rather not drive all the way up there if you can't make it.

I've done Redondo and the Junkyard each once. More to see at Redondo, I think although I've only dove there with an instructor. Just to let you know I am a newer diver, so if you were expecting a master of buoyancy and air control, this is your opportunity bail out. Otherwise, lets meet at Redondo t...

Is there a group getting together for a dive on saturday morning? It should be great weather. I am diving Pt Whitney on Sunday, but would hate to waste a nice saturday morning.

CaptnJack- I did a weight check with 500psi at 15’ with 40# and had trouble holding steady. I was diving with a DM and she suggested I add a couple lbs. My hope was to lighten the lead that I carry. If changing to a shell drysuit would significantly reduce what I have to carry I would start looking ...

I am a new diver and dive in a dry suit (I do have the dry suit cert). I have the Bare D6 Pro Neoprene suit with a thick fleece undergarment. I am always warm when diving, but feel excessively bulky. I only add enough air to prevent squeeze, sometimes none at all. I have to use 44 lbs to decend, any...

Alki Junkyard has the ‘Cactus’ mexican restaurant across the street. Excellent service and the food is pretty good as well. Not to mention the fireplace at the front door, pretty nice after diving in 28 degree weather.

I hated that mask. Bought another one on the way home that fits much better.

Scuba Jess invited me to join the group on a dive at Alki Junkyard today. I jumped at the opportunity to dive with the club since I am new but I was a little anxious to dive with experienced diving and didn’t want to ruin their opportunity to dive. I met up at 8:00am with Jess, Kirby, JT, Dave, Chri...

I’ll take a large when the new shirts are done.
