Looking for a Dive Buddy

Post by splitsecond »

Hi,

I will be going to Australia in a couple months and wish to have a few dives in before doing the Barrier Reef. So anyone interested in doing some afternoon/early evening dives at Sunnyside? I know the hike from the parking lot to the water is a drudge with all the equipment on but the water entry is easy and the bottom slopes gradually away from the shore. Also have own equipment, maybe a little dated now, but tanks are freshly hydro'ed and vis'ed, regs have been serviced and ready to go.

My current level of experience (number of dives, certification level):
19 open water dives.
SSI Basic Open Water, PADI Advanced Open Water, PADI Dry Suit Diver,
PADI Oxygen First Aid, PADI Equipment Specialist, PADI Diver Propulsion Vehicle.
Would like to get Rescue Diver, Nitrox and Master Diver certified in the future.

Most dives have been at Les Davis, Sunnyside, Rodondo and Port Orchard. Couple of dives in Maui.

Interested in general exploration, working on diving technique, nothing in the extreme category (going into wrecks)

Currently have been out of water many years and would prefer to stay at 30 – 50 foot level for a few dives to get reacquainted with the water and equipment. My transition from surface to 20 feet usually requires me to work on ear equalization a little slowly, but after 20 feet usually fine.

I reside in the Tacoma area and I'm available to go diving Thursday, Friday after work (get off at 15:30) and maybe on a Saturday.

Cell 360-620-8151
ask for Roger or leave a message, thanks.

Howdy! I live in Tacoma and am absolutely down for dives around town if you need a buddy. I'm pretty new ( certified in 2014 and just getting back into it-- 13 dives) so if you're looking for someone with more experience I'd understand. Do have some experience with Les Davis and Sunnyside although most of my dives have been in the Hood Canal.
