Northwest Dive Club

Hello all. Just passed my NAUI scuba dive course and will be looking to dive some easy dives for starters. Until I get my feet wet. I will be in the Philippines from April 20th to May 4th. I usually have afternoons available and once I get back I will know more about my availability. I appreciate any advice about dive sites around the Puget Sound Area. ](*,)

Welcome Pogi,
You came to the right place, lots of folks here all up and down the sound that im sure would give you some advise..

Pogi, it is a particular pleasure for me to escort new divers (I'm paying forward the grace that was shown me when I was new). Please get in touch when you are back in town, and I'd be delighted to do some dives with you.

welcome pogi! upon your return, i'll go divig with you! granted it'll be after sleeping off the jet lag. and you have found the right place!!!

Pogi,

I too enjoy escorting new divers although there are many more experienced divers here than myself. We typically like to go to Alki Cove 2 on the weekday. Let us know when you would like to come out. Check out the Pacific Northwest dive thread for information on good local dive sites.

Bassman and I do midweek afternoon dives (3PM) most weeks. We usually pick an "easy" dive site, and dive a conservative profile. We'd be more than happy to have you come along when you're back in the area!

Pogi!!! :wav: We'll get you out with us as soon as you return! Welcome overboard! You found the best group in the Puget Sound (not that we're biased or anything)!

Thanks for being so open to the greenhorn diver I look forward to making dives when I get back to the PNW. I am still considering buying my gear as if you rent 20 times you bougt most of it anyways

Welcome to your new addiction.

Hi, my name is Doug and I'm an Aquaholic.

I know this probably sounds like a dumb thing but I know you all have probably dove so many times you could write the dive tables in your sleep. I just wish to keep my training current and document my experience once I get back and get wet with you guys. I know I have seen some who describe depth as say 40fsw and I assume FSW is Feet Sea Water???


The learning curve guy JEFF

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!!! Mr. Rawlings... Tell him what he's won!!!

Yes, fsw means feet of salt water and ffw means feet of fresh water. No question is a dumb one.

This is the part where others will start chiming in with OTHER ideas for FSW and FFW...

Welcome Pogi!

Lets Dive!

So that you know POGI means handsome in Tagalog (Philippines)

Gee, You don't look Philippino!

I know a certain ratfish who thinks Bassman is pretty pogi!

You mean like "French Sheep, Wooly" or "Frankly Silly Warbling?" How about "French Fried Way?" "Frisky Frilly Wizard?"

Surely I'm not the only one rising to this challenge...

"Fluffy Fleece Wolves?" "Floundering Sailors, Whoa!"

Can you tell I've up at work all night?

Heading to bed now....

I LOVE this place!!!

How about "Frisky Feeling Wolfeels!"

I'd say you're correct!

For Sgt. Pepper and Diver C, last night in Cove 2 it would be: Fighting Shrimp Wallops!

Ask Sgt. Pepper about the SUPER aggressive shrimp that chased after the both of them. I don't know what they did to that little guy, but he was POd! Diver C may have gotten some shots, but I think the shrimp was all up in his grill and such, so he may not have gotten a good focus on the beasty.

Harrased by shrimp?
Wow , thats a first.
