Northwest Dive Club

No worries LG. Good luck on the test.

So for Burntchef of anyone else who'd like to join in, I can be down to Mukilteo anytime after about 4:30. If we do it much later lights will be a necessity. (proabably a good idea no matter what...)

I'm on an al80 of ean36 if it matters....

Jake

Anybody up for a last minute dive tonight in the north end? Either EUP or Mukilteo?

Jake

Thanks Brinbay, that's exactly what I was looking for. I need to get that book. Is that what most folks use to plan their current predictions?

Jake

So does anyone out there know what the current corrections are for the Mukilteo Lighthouse park? Did a dive with kwbyron there monday, and I thought we should hit it at slack, right around 5:00pm, but it most definately was not, so I'd like to know what the current correction is for future planning....

I saw it! I'm in for $50, anyone else? We're going to have to increase the membership.

Though with a max depth of only 300fsw I think it'd be cheaper to just chip in for advanced trimix classes for everyone.

Jake

Hey Lawgoddess,

How much was the housing for the sd700? I'm looking at picking up one of those too.

Jake

Sounds like I need to start night diving more. This summer when fishing off the south end of Whidby Island, dogfish were so thick that we could see them swimming 4-5' below the surface under the boat. Pretty much gave up fishing and just watched them swim around. Didn't have any gear or I'd have jum...

So where in puget sound is the best place to go dive with sharks? I've lived in the puget sound area all my life, and it seems like whenever we went bottom fishing as a kid, someone would inevitably hook into a dogfish shark and we'd immediatly move, since as soon as one was hooked, at that site all...

Current looks a little wicked, so we'll be diving the T-dock, can't do the Park.


**Edit** Looks like my buddy had to cancel on me, so if anybody cares to dive mukilteo tonight, give me a shout and I'll meet you down there, I can be there around 4:15 or so.

Jake

We're diving Mukilteo tommorrow around 4:30 if anybody wants to join us.

Jake

Darn, I can't make it this weekend Sgt. P. Do you have time to do weekday evening dives? I try to hit Mukilteo at least once a week after work. Send me a PM if you'd like to try and meet up sometime.

Jake

Nope, that's not it. This one had so much growth on it, you can't read it anymore. Whoever put it in did a good job too, it's pretty pumb.

I am now informed that the rope runs to some concrete blocks and a small tire reef. I'll have to go check it out.

Question for those of you who have dove the T-Dock more than I have. Last time I was there, I encountered what appears to be a speed limit, or other road sign standing in about 30 fsw. There is a rope that runs roughly south from there, toward the Ferry dock. So my question is, what's at the other e...

I'm diving the T-dock 4:15 tongight, hopefully the vis is as good as Squatch claims!

Jake

You know what's funny to me? The smallest ARGON bottle I've seen anyone mention carrying is twice as big as the LARGEST Spair Air.

Jake

Congratualtions Matt. We'll see you around the sound then!

Jake

So, just out of curiosity, why do so many people want to go with a pony, vs. just small manifolded doubles? Maybe a set of steel 72's? It seems like if there is a real concern that you need more gas for a given dive, or need more redundancy, why not just go all the way to manifolded, or even seperat...

TLG,

If you're going to be at EUP tonight, look for us, we're going to be diving around 5:00.

Jake

The first time you get nailed by a picher without gloves, all that empathy will go out the window. It did for me anyway. My revenge has been many crab dinners!

If you still can't bear the thought of boiling your own, and want some good crabcakes, I recommend chinooks. Good stuff.

Jake

Anybody who can't make it to Cove 2 tonight, I can make a dive at mukilteo tonight.

Jake

Most unfotunately I will be helping a friend put the finishing touches on his new kitchen so that he can start using it. I think if I bailed his wife would kill me. She's been without a kitchen for 3 months. I am free later this week, and even have a full tank.

Jake

Nice. Thanks JDR!

So do I understand correctly that I wouldn't need to actually go to the office to get a permit, just call? That makes life much easier as getting to Edmonds during normal gov't business hours can sometimes be challenging.

Jake

No worries, had all my gear in the truck, so just thought I'd see if anyone was diving friday. Not sure what my schedule is yet this week, but thursday looks promising.

Jake

Buddy had to cancel, anyone up for a little one tank dive early afternoon at the Muk?

Jake

JDR,

How easy is it to obtain a night diving permit? Is it something you just walk in and get, or is it something that takes time (as with most gov't "permit")? Do they charge for it? I think night diving the park would be fun.
