New to Tacoma

Post by davita »

Hello everyone, I just moved into the area and am looking for some info on the diving in the area. I'm Rescue certified with PADI and Deco/Adv Nitrox with TDI. Any info on clubs, tech diving or sites would be appreciated. Looking forward to diving with you.

The Marker Buoys are the most active dive club in the area with club dives every weekend and many during the week as well.

Hi,

I usually do 1-2 dives per week in the evenings (6:30 to 7:30 splash times) with a friend or two in the Tacoma area.

You're welcome to join us.

Welcome to the board! We have weekly dives all around the Sound. The closest to you would probably be the Thursday South Sound dives (Th Th Th), usually at Three Tree or Redondo. We also have Wacky Wednesday West dives (WWW)at Alki, Bubbles and Suds on Wednesdays, and Monday Mukilteo Madness(MMM) on Mondays if you want to head that far north. All are welcome! Keep your eye on the dive planning section for what's coming up that week:

We are also having a club dive/bbq on Saturday September 28th, you are welcome to come down and meet some folks!

+1 on the ThThTh folks... Great people and fun to be around. I'd wager you won't be disappointed and I'm not a betting man.
