Hi from Maine

Post by sandanbob »

Greetings, fellow divers.

I have family in Washington, so I recently purchased "The Northwest Dive Guide", by Mike Hughes. I may make it out to visit, and perhaps get in a dive or two or three.

I realize that the book has a copyright of 2009, but it mentions a couple things that I wanted to ask about.

One, is there still a Northwest Dive News publication (probably online?)

And, two, Mr. Hughes references the Northwest Dive and Travel Expo. Doing an internet search, I think about ten years ago was the most recent "hit" I found. Is that something that still occurs, maybe under a different name?

I think that covers it for now. Thanks, and have a great evening!

Bob

Hi. Unfortunately that magazine and show are now defunct. We still have great diving though! Hope to see you out here. Do you dive Maine?

Hey, YellowEye.

Thank you for responding.

I figured my lack of results via an internet search meant that they were gone.

I do dive in Maine, though I haven't been active the last few years. During the pandemic, I have done some online courses through SSI, a variety of webinars, and such. I just dropped a couple tanks off at the LDS to get hydro'd and VIP'd. So, come July I should be getting in some bottom time and knocking the rust off.

Before any trip out, I will plan on posting for ideas.

Have a great evening!
