Diving for 25 years but newly tech certified

Post by selsing »

I have been diving for over 25 years, but just got my tech certifications this year (through Trimix). Looking for tech diving buddies in Seattle - particular for Saturday dives on short notice...

Welcome.
You might have a tough time finding pickup buddies for deco dives on short notice. The gas fills alone aren't something that can be done on a dime, nevermind the charter/boat (although some of us have boats). I suspect finding some time for recreational dives first will help.

Welcome aboard, selsing.

How many tech dives do you already have and what kind of dives are you looking to do? Open or Closed circuit?

Where are you located?

Diving a CCR makes pickup tech diving much easier ;)
