Northwest Dive Club

Yeah... weird hours, different days off = weird dive times.

But it's all good... sooner or later everybody finds a dive buddy!

Yeah, I need to subscribe too... been spending too much money on miscellaneous dive gear so my reading $$ get pushed to the bottom. ](*,) I loved the two sample issues that I snatched up at John's presentation. Don't let the "Advanced" part of the title scare you off. It certainly is that,...

Welcome to NW Dive Club Seanski! =D> Where are you located? Bassman and myself are in the South end (Tacoma/Lakewood). We were diving most Sunday / Monday's till Bassman's days off changed to Friday / Saturdays. We will still do an occasional Sunday late afternoon dive. Watch these threads and jump ...

Mmmmm... sausage!!

I'm in!

Hey Sounder, you ought to try and return your kit. I'm sure you could come up with a good story! Hey, maybe even tell them the truth!

Does anyone know the approximate dive profiles for the sites we will be diving?

I will be diving Nitrox and want to plan my fills / mix accordingly.

Looking forward to this trip!

Yes, it keeps getting updated, though I don't have the info right in front of me.

Most local dive shops in this area have a copy, and chances are it's pretty updated since they sell pretty fast.

Great Dive! Sounder, Diver C, thanks for hanging out :partyman: Echoing what Sounder said about the dive... I think this is my first dive with a 100 yd beach walk just to get your feet wet, then another 50 to 75 yards before the water gets to your waist, THEN a 75 or 100 yard surface swim to the buo...

Bassman and myself will show up at the Diver's Fair around 8:30 AM ish, coffee in hand. We can figure splash time, etc. from there after UWS finishes cleaning out our wallets!

Hmmmmm.... kind of wanted to avoid a dive with a long surface swim this time. Is that the only way to dive Edmonds? Again, we're open to pretty much any site North of Three Tree without hitting the San Juans... Although... I suppose we could head South to Sund Rock :supz: Ahhh.... so many dive sites...

Welcome Paul, and congrats on your progress!
:wav:
Wow! That's a long time to snorkel in cold water without breathing compressed air! Lot's better with a tank on your back!

Looking forward to divin' this weekend and next week!

It's been a very dry month of July in many more ways than one! ](*,)

Very, very cool...

Did it mention how deep it lies, or did I miss that?

Fresh off reading Shadow Divers this is doubly interesting! The story and the lives represented "humanize" these things in such a compelling way.

Ditto to everyone's comment's! Janna is awesome!

Sorry I had to bail on this one, Janna, once again my desires writing checks that my calendar can't cash... ](*,) ](*,)

Definitely going to do the invert class someday, and wouldn't do it with anyone else!

Definitely want to get wet after a morning spending $$ at the Diver's Fair! Since we are from the South end, neither Bassman or myself has done any of the sites North of Three Tree, so we are definitely wanting advice / company / or guides!

Huh?!?

Yeah, what he said....

As I understand it, something in the mentos causes the gas (co2?) to almost immediately come out of solution in the Diet Coke. Isn't that what happens to the nitrogen in your body / bloodstream when you ascend too fast?!? :pale: :pale: Kind of like an instant case of the bends for the Coke?!?! :pale...

One 2 liter bottle of diet coke. Drop in 2 to 4 mentos. Instant fountain shoots 8 to 15 ft. in the air.

Creatively combine many bottles and mentos, create awesome show.

Helps keep some people off the streets!

I don't think the main idea is to get them to explode... at least not with the mentos. The fountain is the point.

There are other ways of exploding liquid in bottles... bwahahahaha

Sounder, since you seem pretty conservative as far as safety goes I'll throw in a simple opinion. Others please feel free to chime in and give another side! I use a Pro Plus 2 on the end of a high pressure hose. I have the quick disconnect so that I can remove the Pro Plus 2 from the hose and connec...

I've got a 5 PM appt, and if I can be done in time, I'll be there! Rock n' Roll!!

Sounds like Romanian to me... maybe portuguese, but more likely Romanian.

Me too.

Wow... I'll never look at a tide chart exactly the same way!

Welcome Jeff!

Bassman and myself are in Lakewood, and there are a couple of others in the Tacoma area as well. We'll have to hook up for a dive!

Tom Nic

I too am hosed till Sunday afternoon... ](*,) Out of town this week.

But I will monitor the thread in case the time day changes! Surely we can do this more than once!
