Club Dive! Club Dive! Club Dive! Feb. 20th, 2016 @ EUP!

Post by Penopolypants »

What: Club dive and barbecue!
When: February 20th 9:00 a.m.!
Where: Edmonds Underwater Park/BHUT!

There’s a nice exchange in the morning of the 20th, so it looks like it will be a good day to dive at Edmonds. It gets a little icky later in the afternoon so plan on getting done relatively early.

Looking for new buddies? Be there! Always wanted to put some avatars to some faces? Now is the time! Want to try out some gear, like a different type of fins, or a bp/w, or a different tank? Let me know, and I'll wrangle up some gear for you!

This is a "Big Buddy" dive, so if you are a "Little Buddy" (a new and/or inexperienced diver) and want to dive with a "Big Buddy" (a more experienced diver), let me know and I'll set you up. If you're willing to be a Big Buddy let me know that too!

I will bring barbecue basics (grill, tables, cooler, popup canopy, utensils, plates, water, etc.). I will be bringing burger patties and buns, ketchup/mustard/mayo and I am fairly sure I have a small pack of hot dogs or sausages or some such too.

Please bring a dish to share, such as potato salad, casseroles, desserts, or a packet of hot dog buns, burger toppings, etc. Please post here what you are bringing so that we only have 20 bags of chips! :)

A popup canopy might be nice given the weather lately, if you have one to bring. Also bring: a chair for surface intervals, water, your dive gear, and your meet and greet face. Please feel free to come down and just hang out too if you don’t want to dive. Friends/family/Siamese twin welcome!

Parking is limited so please consider carpooling. I can take up to three divers if you are willing to come early and stay late.

I'm looking forward to being introduced to Edmonds and to meet a bunch of you. I will definitely bring something to share. My husband Dennis and I are relatively new divers.....and are trying to learn how to be 'good buddies' for each other. We'd love an experienced diver to show us around (above and below water) at Edmonds. Looking forward to meeting folks!

I would be glad to take some people around. Get your stretching in as the surface swim is a pretty good one, but worth it.

Have a banana for breakfast

Surface swim is a bit shorter than Salt Water, and seems less odious as you can gauge your progress against the rock jetty. There's also a lot more underwater structure to explore. One could easily do two hour plus dives and just get a glimpse of the overall park. Parking can be a pain if lots of other people decide to show up.

Luckily with it being winter the lot should be pretty open. Even better if we are blessed with a cloudy day

Hi everyone,I joined this site last summer,haven't dove up their with anybody yet. Just talked with my wife and we will try and make it too. I will need a big buddy too,I'm advanced certified with around 25 dives since 2004. Own my own gear. As the date gets closer I will know for sure if going or not,and figure out what to bring for pot luck. Last summer was the last time I dove,it was in Florence Oregon.

Eh, we're not that formal, just let me know when you can. By the day before would be best but even the day of is totally fine.

As far as food, some cookies, maybe some potato salad, or, dare I say it, a bag of chips? Don't go overboard, we always seem to have extras of things.
