WWW - 4/24/13

Post by Mortuus »

Same time(s), same place!

Dive 1 - 4:30

Dive 2 - 6:30

Dive 3 - :partyman:

If you are a new/inexperienced diver, and you need a "big buddy" (or if you just want one), just ask, and we will gladly pair you up with someone. This is also a great place to try out new pieces of gear! As PNW divers, we are naturally inclined to have a gear fetish. If there are any pieces of equipment you are looking to try out (doubles, scooter, canister light, etc), just say the word, and it can be arranged.

See you there!

The purpose of life should not be to journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Holy S#it!!!" What a Ride!!!

I'd like to get my feet wet in the northwest. I've done 30 warm water dives but have never taken a dip in my home waters. It would be my first cold water dive. I started looking for gear this week but will likely be renting gear (wetsuit - brrrr). Is anyone up to being my buddy for my first pacific northwest dive? Thanks

I'd be happy to buddy up.. I'm in for the second dive at 6:30pm, you ?

Just a fair warning that Viz has been really really crap lately. like 2-3ft

I'll be showing up around 5:50 p.m. and not diving because I can't dive yet, but I'll be doing this instead: :joshsmith:

I'm comfortable with bad viz but don't know if it's worth the rental gear to experience it. For those that haven't been diving in Cove 2 during bad viz what will we experience? How do you keep track of your dive buddy, just stay close? Thanks

we hold hands, especially when jeremy is there.. he might even cuddle you while you dive :luv:

It'll be fine, we usually stay within arms reach and have pretty darn bright ocean-boiler HID lights

I will be at Dive 1. This will be my first dive with the group, but not my first dive in Cove 2. See everyone there.
