Looking to socialize with seattle divers

GirlDiverSeattle · Post by **GirlDiverSeattle** » Wed Apr 11, 2012 11:42 am

Im new to Seattle and to diving. Im looking for a way to meet other single divers in a social setting. Any ideas?

You are more interested in diving with single divers specifically than just to go diving, is that correct?

There is tons of diving available but I don't know of any singles diving groups.

...divers tend to be interesting, engaging, high quality folks who are typically off the market.

Join one of our Thursday evening dives. I'm sure that there is always at least one single guy on those dives!

Come to the Tacoma Dive & Travel Expo next week-end ... you'll meet more Seattle area divers to socialize with than you'll know what to do with.

Singledivers has a booth there every year as well. Understand that Singledivers is about meeting dive buddies ... it's not a dating club.

And if you stop by the ScubaBoard booth on your way in, you'll meet me ... I'll be happy to introduce you the few local divers I kow ...

Socialize before and after you dive? I was at a MMM dive that included a marriage proposal which was rather appropriate since the couple met at MMM.

I just did a key-word search on "scuba, diving" on OK Cupid, my favored online dating site, and found plenty of guys in the 30-40 demographic that claim to dive. That is always an option but you won't necessarily meet the cool folks from NW Dive Club.

FWIW I'm single, male, and in my mid-thirties.

If I may add, "very good with his hands too". Ahem! I mean a handy man. Well, well, well, let's not get too excited about this statement.

GirlDiverSeattle, welcome to the board.

Take a minute to introduce yourself in the Introducions section.

Also, feel free to look at the Dive planning section, there are regularly scheduled dives posted there where it would be good to get to know the general dive population in the PNW, not just "X seeking Y" kinda divers.

Diving is a very social sport!

I checked. Doesn't appear to be a puppet. Profile says she simply hasn't been back here since she posted. Maybe she found a snuggle buddy?
