Introduction

Post by Curt Bowen »

I just returned from Port Hardy and the Hideaway with several of the divers here on NWDC.

Had a great time, some awesome dives, and managed to survive.

The group said I should introduce myself here.

Cant wait until my next NW dive adventure.

Good to see you here, Curt! I'm looking forward to more Florida Diver PNW adventures. And maybe I'll see you in Florida this winter.

My dream dive trip has Josh, Chris Lopez, Joe, Marcoux, and Curt on it. Of course, I'd never get to diving, because I wouldn't be able to stop laughing that long . . .

Welcome to NWDC. Love the mag. I read every issue several times. Hope to see you chime in every now and then.

Actually, one of our earliest members, da_jab, was from Finland....he was looking for folks that understood cold-water diving!

Thanks for the welcome and good words about ADM. None of it could have been completed without the assistance of our best PNW photojournalist, John Rawlings.

We are starting a new online editorial section within ADM for your reading enjoyment. Please feel free to stop in and read what we have completed.

Can't wait to get back to the PNW for some more awesome dives and photo ops. But remember, I am a rookie cold water diver, so I need someone smaller than 6'6" John to hold my hand. (His hands are too big and he has a hairy back) eeeewww

If anyone wishes to submit any editorials and images, WE ARE ALWAYS SEARCHING!!!!!! I know John can also always use some assistance, he is getting old you know.

OK, back to the Florida sun, my swamp, and alligators....................
