Northwest Dive Club

Winds died here yesterday! Very flat for the day.

Did wreck dive, Mama Vina and Barracuda Reef. Nice wreck dive and drift dive.

Cannot do Cozumel as leaving tomorrow..........for Key West. Hope to see the Vandenberg.

Gotta pack,

Sorry you had to leave the hot 85 degree waters of Bonaire.

The waters here in Playa del Carmen are frigid 83 today.

Looks like the radiator core of my 1984 Ford pickup?

Had a nice two tank dive Monday at Playa del Carmen. Water temperature was only about 83 degrees. Vis was a little 'blah' as have been some sustain winds of 15 mph the last several days that have stirred things up. Had about 40-60 feet. Dove the sites of 'three rivers' and cerebros (brain coral). OK...

Great videos H2Odoctor and MZ!

Here is one more short one to add to the collection.

Nice dive on Saturday, Nov. 21st at the underwater park. Made the LONG swim out to the new sunken 'float' and the six of us enjoyed an hour+ of down time. Lot's of rock fish, some nudi's and pretty good size lings. MZ and I enjoyed a second dive as he checked out a new-used set of doubles. He will h...

Party Saturday at Edmond Underwater Park.....splash time....noon.....cake served at the 55 fsw level.....ice cream too.....
MZ is buying.......

Thank you one and all for the input. I'll probably dive the 'white' tank first..... it's the one I got filled up at the AM/PM with my discount card .......wait a minute, both tanks are gray....oh well.......it shall all work out OK. Again, Thank You for the informative replies. I knew that some of t...

Been asking around about which tank to dive with first and answers have been mixed and rationales as clear as low viz.... : Here is the situations..... Plan to do a two tank dive....... both tanks are equal One tank is filled with air only Other tank is filled Nitrox32 Dive is within recreational li...

Sounds like a plan!

Hey MZ, Think of the air fills you will be able to get at AM-PM with your punch card. I'll bet they can fill your new doubles that are rated as 3500 psi to at least 3700 psi.
Keep buying your beverages there and keep your punch card ready.

PapaZ :biggrin:

Nice video, especially when your lamp works now.
Good nudie at the end too.

Nice video, good to see the light works now too.

Hmmmmmmm,

Wonder how I claimed him for so many years on our income tax deductions?

MZ,

Wonder if the 'jump start' worked?

Excellent talent. Going to give up your day job?

The Yakima Dive Club had a nice day at Clear Lake (White Pass) for their annual underwater carving. Water temperature was a balmy 44 degrees and the air temperature was 49 degrees, but plenty of sunshine. Rules were simple, take your pumpkin underwater, hold it down, carve it with a dive knife and b...

Redondo was fun with Bassman and MZ53480. Here is another short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtXt0uLQ7bk Pinpoint Gunnel.jpg IMG_2578+ copy.jpg IMG_2586+ copy.jpg IMG_2615+ copy.jpg IMG_2617+ copy.jpg IMG_2625 red octo copy.jpg IMG_2628 red octo copy.jpg IMG_2656+ copy.jpg :laughing3:

Next Monday night sounds like a good night dive night. Will plan to be there. One or two tanks? And for Joshua, If we go to Yellow House or Octopus Hole, no problem on the night certification.....you can pick up your night dive certification card at the AM PM at Shelton as you get your dive tanks re...

Great to see that a start has been made for the buoys. Well done to The Yakima Dive Club for getting one at KVI Towers. And we only have to drive 3+ hours to see it. :) :) So, how about the other 'nearby' dive clubs getting into the act? Yeah, it is a subtle challenge to all. :bye: :roll: PapaZ Memb...

Hi,

Welcome to the PNW and the home of the GPO. I'm sure you will enjoy searching for them.

Just on a side note, will be in Key West in a couple months. Suggestions of where to stay there and a dive shop to dive with?

Pz

A couple considerations for an underwater camera: 1. You can save images in RAW. 2. You can set the White Balance manually underwater as needed 3. Settings do not change if you go back and forth between modes; photos to video and back, or if you turn your camera off and back on. Good diving and look...

hmmmmmmmmm.......MZ, what color are YOUR fins?

PapaZ

Nice video of the sculpin showing off the fin action........relaxing music too.

PapaZ

Nice vid! Glad to see the lion and bear are doing OK too.
"Octopi twirling"...........tired of tourist with bright lights!
