Northwest Dive Club

I am free most weekends but not the 6th of December.

Count me in. I can take 2 or 3 divers depending on weather conditions. I am not diving but I am happy to let people fall of the boat as long as they come back.

ORDiver and I have been running our boats out off of the Oregon Coast the last few months.

Welcome fellow Metro Area diver.

A good source for a list of surveyors is the insurance company you plan to use. If you happen to be wanting to insure the boat. I have always been told never to just use the surveyor the broker recommends because most of the time you have competing interest. However looking for people on both the br...

Welcome to the Club. This is a great resource for finding dive buddies, asking questions, and learning about NW diving.

As Richard points out, Fischnaller did these dives back in the days when single Steel 72's and AL80's were the norm :) I've used single HP80's on several of them and don't remember the hikes being memorable. I giggle at the thought of doubles on them tho.. Great report!!! What single steel 72's are...

As long as you don't care about crossing the Day Island Marina entrance.

“Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one, a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horiz...

My understanding from people who knew and dove with George (and who have gone fishing with him now) is that in person, he is a much milder and much nicer man. He had a Jekyll and Hyde issue with the internet. Good thing we don't have anyone "Jekyll and Hyde" like that around here. :eek:

You may also have problems if your Choey Lee has a foreign laid keel. They may have changed the laws but it used to be a major problem.

Matt and Micah, Oregon Scuba Club has members in Salem and many members that volunteer at the Newport Aquarium. Eugene Skin divers and there club are very active in the Newport and Florence area. There is also South Beach Scuba in Newport if you haven't visited them. The two shops in Salem are also ...

Your best bet is to contact Eugene Skin Divers in Eugene. Clear Lake is a good dive however Clear Lake is only 37 to 39 degrees even in summer. Clear Lake is also an altitude dive. Florence North Jetty or Woahink Lake may also be good options. I do not think the National Park Service is currently is...

Some VERY cool 1960's and 70's videos were just added to the site.

John is a really nice guy. I took one of my dive buddies who was a novice diver with a new point and shoot camera to a Redondo club dive. John was not diving that day but had showed up to support NWDC. John was amazing as he spent 45 minutes talking to my novice dive buddy about underwater photograp...

Merchant Marine Act of 1920 (Jones Act)

I am not saying it is right or wrong it just is the most likely reason.

When I talked to the guy who bought South Beach Scuba in October he was talking about having a six pac up and running in spring. You might want to shake his chain.

This is a great deal for anyone wanting to start a diving museum.

Welcome to the NWDC.

In Oregon you are allowed to use the boat ramps as entry and exit points so long as you do not impead the launching of boats . We dived there in Decemeber (2013) - The County Deputy we were with, said 'no divers on the boat ramp'. Sorry my 2 cents. And a bump Geoff in Oregon There have been alterca...

There is a resort run buy Linn County Oregon. There is a forest service camp ground "Cold Water Cove Campground" at the southeast end of the lake. There is also the Belknap Hot Springs 15 miles down the road. the Hot springs is a nice place to hangout after diving in 39 degree water. http:...

Watch this before you go.
