Buddies wanted for weekday dives next week
I am finally taking some time off of work and wanted to take a couple of days to do some diving. I will be off from Monday June 30 thru Friday July 4. Is anyone available to dive during weekdays? I have no plans yet other than I wanted to drive up one day and dive during the day, maybe meet up with some folks for a late afternoon/evening dive, possibly a night dive, then get in a dive or two the next morning before heading home. Basically, I want to dive as much as I can. I am flexible as to which days during that week.
I have no preference on dive sites. I have dove Sund Rock and Redondo. Would be willing to do those again (especially Redondo), but it would be cool to check out some new places as well. Wherever it may be, it would have to be a relatively easy dive well within recreational limits, as I am still dialing in my buoyancy with my dry suit.
Having said all of that, do we have any takers?

I actually won't be available to get up there until next week. If you are diving then, maybe we can set something up.Jabberjaw wrote:I will be at Cove II this Thursday for a 6:30pm dive. If you can do an evening dive I'll dive with ya.

Right on. I will put him on my list. Yes, I really do have a list of people I want to dive with.Sounder wrote:Squishy - if you can find time to dive with JabberJaw, I'd highly recommend it!! He's a great diver to learn from!!
LOL. Yeah, he was just some bum I found in the parking lot. He had a wicked bad party van, though, so I figured "What the heck."billandwende wrote:The only thing wrong with your diving at Sund was your dive partner. Where did you dig up that guy?

Re: Buddies wanted for weekday dives next week
Squshy, count me in for the after work thing as well next week. I've been lucky enough to meet up with Penopolypants more than once for those evening dives, and they are always good.
I'll keep my eyes posted, and hope to catch up with y'all some night next week.

Re: Buddies wanted for weekday dives next week
I'll be hitting Mukilteo cor crab on the 2nd, 7:00AM splash we could meet up then or after limiting out. Bring your license and punch card or we could do some sight seeing.

Ahhhh yeah! I feel a plan coming together.TCWestby wrote:I'll be hitting Mukilteo cor crab on the 2nd, 7:00AM splash we could meet up then or after limiting out. Bring your license and punch card or we could do some sight seeing.
P-pants and Sheri (and anyone else who wants to join along) are you available for an after work dive on Tues the 1st?
If so, I can head up on Tues and meet for a dive. Then grab a hotel room, and meet up with TCWesby on Wed morning.
Crabbing sounds like hella fun! I have never been, so I hope you don't mind letting a total crab-noob tag along. I do have a combo fishing license, but do not yet have my crab endorsement or catch card. I will pick those up this weekend. If splash time is 0700, what time do you want to meet up? 0600?

Re: Buddies wanted for weekday dives next week
Sounds good! It's a big exchange day so our site choices are limited, but Ye Olde Cove 2 is always good with me if that's okay with you, unless you've had a particular spot in mind for a while. Meet at 5:30-ish?SquishyDuck wrote:Ahhhh yeah! I feel a plan coming together.TCWestby wrote:I'll be hitting Mukilteo cor crab on the 2nd, 7:00AM splash we could meet up then or after limiting out.

Cove 2 sounds great. I have never been there, and am always excited to try someplace new provided we can have a safe dive.Penopolypants wrote: Sounds good!

Re: Buddies wanted for weekday dives next week
Hey Squishy,
Sounds like you have plenty of offers. I plan on diveing Cove II most every Thursday at 6:30pm. This is kind of an evening to practice diving skills and have a good dive. Let know when you can show up and if there are any skills you would like to work. If you just want to dive that too is considered a skill.

Re: Buddies wanted for weekday dives next week
I have decided to expand my plan a bit. I will be heading up on Tuesday afternoon and staying until Thursday night. So far on the roster:
Tues 5:30 pm @ Cove 2
Weds 7:00 am @ Mulkiteo
Thurs 6:30 pm @ Cove 2
It looks like I have some extra time to kill while I am up there, if any one wants to set up something else. Aw c'mon, this is your chance to get to meet the infamous (that's more than famous, ya know) Squishy Duck! You should take that chance, I hear he is really awesome.
Oh yeah, I really don't know that area up there at all. Can anyone recommend a budget hotel? My only requirements are that they don't have hourly rates, it is clean enough that I can walk on the floor without shoes and sleep IN the bed as opposed to ON the bed, and the shower works. A working toilet would be a bonus, too.
