Re: Where do i go for classes and certification

My two cents go for Bob Baily. I know Koos and Peter very well. Both excellent. You simply can't go wrong with these people. (I don't need to justify Koos since I'm talking classes from him.) I've never met bob personally but everyone just raves about his classes so much, it's difficult to ignore. I...

Diving recommendations for Oregon?

I'm camping from tonight till Monday near Astoria/Cannon Beach. Any recommendations for dive shops or any local divers who'd like to show me some Oregon specialties?

I'm bringing two HP 120s + all gear. If I get local fills, I'll dive more.

Re: WWW - 7/24/13

I'll be there as well. Dives 2 and 3. If someone will buddy up with me, I'm still trying to figure out my trim in the new suit and want to get weighted as we come out. I've become incredibly head-heavy.

I'm there for dive 2. My regs are being serviced by Mark for a couple of weeks. Can someone spare me a set of regs?

Re: WWW - 5/29/13

Thanks Koos! I may not make it to the first one, so don't wait up for me if you don't see me by 4:30. I may need a gas full and some gear check. Surely will be there by 5:30 for a 6:00pm splash.

Anyone interested in Dive 1? I just got free from work, and it's too bright to waste the day. I can make it there by 4 if I push it.

Re: Need a weight test buddy

Oh yes of course. I'm actually committed on a different dive on wednesday. If I make it to WWW tomorrow, we could do it at the end. Such a pain at the end of the dive - when all you want is foooood!

Need a weight test buddy

I've lost a few pounds of my waist, and I think it's time to take a few pounds off my belt. Would someone like to be a safety buddy for a few minutes over the week/weekend to help me trim my belt so I don't have a giant bubble in my feet when I'm upside down?

Re: So frustrated

I was lucky enough recently, to have fellow divers from NWDC take me out when I had my first experience 2 months ago. Since then, I usually put in one mid-week dive at only upto 15ft exclusively to go over all the drills and emergencies. Try what you did at night with no ambient lighting and it gets...
