New Diver to PNW

Post by Scuba Squid »

Hey Gang,
Just found this site and looks like a good place to find buddies. I live in Bremerton, WA but have been diving in San Diego for the last year. Looking to get wet here in WA. Certified NAUI Master Diver. Not yet NITROX. Looking for buddies to dive with in area on weekends and nights.

Hola Art-ola, nice to meet you (on the web). NWDC is definitely the place to be if you're looking for people who are frequently on the water. Glad to have you aboard. =D>

Hi Art.

Welcome to the PNW. Hope to see you out diving soon.
I am heading to San Diego at the end of October and hope to catch a couple of dives there. Do you recommend any dive outfit there that I could hook up with for a few dives?

Welcome Art! Nice to have you with us! What do you do in the Navy? I assume that coming from San Diego to Bremerton that you must be a squid!

Relax, I spent too many years in the Navy myself. I enjoyed it very much and I hope you will enjoy being up here. Where are you originally from?

BTW, let's go diving! :supz:

Art,

It was great to meet/dive with you today at 3-tree. I thought it was so funny that you know three of the same people we do in San Diego - small world!!!

I can't wait to see the pics you took!

Art,

Would you be up for a dive this Friday evening/night at Sund Rock? go_nudi (Tony M.) and I are going. Things should be a bit livelier since we've had some wind pushing up the water on the canal. The oxygen levels should be up a bit by now.
