Migrating to PNW from Hawaii...

Hi there...

While most of my gear will be leaving on May 25, I won't be getting to the PNW untill mid June. Funny thing is that my dry-suit delivery date is the same day.

I've been diving for over 12 years now, getting my instructor card about 7 years ago (although I no longer teach). While I was certified in Maine (drysuit since my first OW dives), I've been away from cold water ever since I joined the Navy.

I've got my Adv Nitrox & deco procedures certs (with a heavy DIR influence)... but I recently started collecting and diving vintage double hose regulators. Hopefully I'll still be able to dive those regs.

Looking forward to meeting everyone when I get there...

Steve

Howdy Steve ...

About time you joined us ... looking forward to finally meeting you.

Unfortunately, I'll be "dry" for a couple weeks after you get here ... but as soon as I'm able, I'd like to hook up with ya for a dive.

Well, Steve, my husband would be delighted to do some double-hose dives . . . He's got a Mistral and a DA he'd love to get a chance to use.

If you feel like doing some more DIR-flavored diving, I'd be happy to come along.

So you see the two of us cover all your diving needs . . .

Well- welcome in advance to the greater puget sound area! I love diving here. Really, I do.

I fully intend to try warm water diving someday, but I'm in no hurry- this place is great. Please let me know when you're situated- I have adv. eanx and deco training too, and would love to do some dives when you get here!

Thanks for the warm welcome... You'll definitely hear more out of me when I get up there.

Hey Steve, I will be in Oahu on the 24th. Maybe we can link up and have a beer. I will get you primed on local diving.

Drop me a line when you get here... I can't promise anything though... the movers show up on that day.
