Is it time for another gas management seminar?
I've been thinking about maybe offering the gas management seminar again ... haven't done one in almost a year.
Is there interest? Many of you have already done them.
I'd be especially interested in hearing from our southern (Oregon and south Washington) contingent. If someone would offer to help me host one in the Portland or Vancouver area, I'd be willing to travel down there to do it.
What say you all?

I need a refresher from my commercial diving days fo sho.. also for carrying it on my back. 0]
Oregon may be too far for me currently, but keep me in the pipe. I'd really like to attend one at some point. (I've got time, as I am expecting to have all my gear back by spring).
Thanks,

Bob we'd be interested if it's closer to the Seattle area.
Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
I would be interested in attending this Bob, especially if it is down south. Melissa too!

Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
Bob, I would love to attend this if it's down this direction - in fact I'd not only like to host it at my home but you'd also be welcome to use our guestroom. We could have about 10 people most likely, or I can find another location in town if needed. I can put out a message on the Oregon Scuba list to see if there's interest if you like?

Count my wife and I as a couple more portland people that would love to attend the class. Very generous offer and we appreciate it.

OK, folks- at Bob's request, I just removed all the off-topic stuff from this thread- some of them were mine. Sorry, Bob! Let's keep this thread on-track, please, everyone else!

Now that the thread is back on track... Please count me in on this class. Portland is still a two-hour drive for me, but I'd love to take the class and meet some NWDC members.

Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
Great news!
I've been in touch with Janna ... she's offered to host the seminar. We're discussing dates. So it looks like it'll be across the river in Vancouver, WA.
I'm inclined to wait till after the new year, as I'm pretty booked for November, and December is usually pretty busy with holiday activities.
Does mid-January suit everyone who's interested?

Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
i'll come for a refresher if there's room. but if space is tight, i'll give up my spot for someone who's never been....
Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
Ditto for me - my son lives in Vancouver so it'd be a great excuse... but I'll also gladly give up my spot if things fill up.spatman wrote:i'll come for a refresher if there's room. but if space is tight, i'll give up my spot for someone who's never been....

Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
Hey guys, I was originally going to have it in my living room, but now have decided that to accommodate as many as want to come, I'm going to find a location in Vancouver/Portland somewhere that can allow for oodles of people. We'll have it on Saturday, January 17th, from about 5pm - 8pm.
Now, before you Seattleites start griping about how far it is to come down here for this seminar - bear in mind we drive the 3+ hour trek ALL THE TIME to go diving up in your neck-of-the-woods. Our divemobiles are set for auto-pilot. We know every rest stop along the way. We drive up, do 2-3 dives, then drive home. Sometimes even in the pouring rain. And there are a LOT of Oregon/SW Washington based divers. So, you know...I'm just sayin'....
I am very thrilled that Bob is willing to come down here for this! The Portland area tends to get forgotten in the shuffle sometimes, yet there's a very large dive community here. So I'm very much looking forward to it.
So get it marked on your calendars!
And let us know if you've got any questions at all. And OK. You can gripe if you really really want to.

Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
I'll happily do a seminar at another time for the Pugetropolins, if there's enough interest.
This time I wanted to make it easier for our southern dive buddies ... many of whom have made the long trek up here to take a class from me.
Hope to see a good turnout ...

Re: Is it time for another gas management seminar?
I will happily schedule a north seminar if there's enough interest.
I've done several in the south King County/Tacoma area ... how about one further north? Perhaps someone who does business at one of the northern shops ... in north King or Snohomish County ... could check with their LDS and see if they'd be interested in hosting it. If so, I'd be happy to schedule one.
