Hey everyone. Heard this was a good site to check out.
For those of you who don't already know me or dove with me-I've been diving about 4 1/2 years-have almost 400 dives, all but 20 in the Pacific Northwest. I'm a PADI AI and a REEF Pacific Northwest Level 5 Fish & Invertebrate ID specialist. Active recreational diver and photographer.
I live in Portland so have a 3 hour drive to get to good diving but still manage to get there 3 or 4 times a month. Always up for a dive if I can work it into my schedule. So, let's go diving sometime...

hi wylerbear! that sucks you live so far from any good diving!!!

Yes, it especially sucks now that gas is so costly. But I try to not let it stop me. Did 20 dives in July and almost that many in August. A lot of travel time. But 6 hours of driving is a small price to pay for 3 hours underwater.

Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome Wylerbear!

A couple of us took Janna's Fish ID class... although I must confess we haven't been turning in surveys...

Need to get on the stick!

I'm trying to find an Invert ID class that fits my schedule as I need a couple more specialties to get my Master Scuba Diver! $\:D/$

We're in the South end, so if you don't want to drive ALL the way to Seattle look us up!

3 hr drive for a dive 3-4/mo - sounds like you've really gotten the bug!

Welcome!
