Wacky Wednesday West – 02/05/14

[Bex]

Looking forward to seeing everyone again this week. Same Bat time. Same Bat Channel. Please drop us a line if you need a buddy or any equipment and we will be make sure you are set up!!!

For those that don't know, this is a weekly event hosted by GUE Seattle, and is open to ANY diver who wants to come out and dive, regardless of skill, background, etc. It is a great chance to meet others in the community, dive with some outstanding divers and try new equipment, skills and techniques.

Need a buddy? No Problem! We will hook you up. We have many active recreational, technical, and cave divers as well as instructors and dive masters who frequent these events and they are a great place to pick up extra diving knowledge. Additionally, if you would like to try out any piece of dive equipment whether it be a back plate and wing, argon system, doubles, jet fins, canister light, undergarment, or even a scooter, it can all be arranged. All you have to do is ask.

Dive times are as follows:

Dive 1 - 4:30 to 5 splash (attendance tends to be low for the first dive in the winter months so be sure to post here and confirm a buddy before you show up)
Dive 2 - 6:00 to 6:30 splash

Those are the splash times, so be sure to arrive with ample time to set up your own gear. If you need last minute tank fills, 5th Dimension is located right on Harbor Ave--only a 2 minute drive from the site.

The dives will both be held at Seacrest Cove 2 located right next to Marination at Seacrest Park on Harbor Ave on Alki. Directions: http://goo.gl/maps/eNMW7

Come on down and join us for diving! We also typically go out for food and beer afterwards (also known as Dive 3). Both Marination and the W Seattle Matador are frequent post dive destinations.

If you have additional questions feel free to drop me or aadolfi (Alex) a PM here on the board. Both Alex and I will be there this week for the second dive at 6pm, look for the Red Dodge Truck w/Canopy. If you are showing up for dive 1 and need a buddy, make sure you coordinate with someone to ensure there will be another diver to join you.

Hope you make it out this Wednesday!
Bex and Alex

I'd be up for dive 1 and 2 if anyone is diving tomorrow.

I will not be there this week. I have an actual, non-diving social engagement!

[aadolfi]

Sounds like there will be very few folks diving this week due to the Hawk's parade and the fact that temps are going to be sub freezing with 20 MPH winds. Bex and I are going to pass this week. If you are still wanting to dive make sure you have a buddy lined up as most of the regulars will not be there this week

Same here - sound like there is 700 thousand people in seattle that will be making a trek out of the city by around the time i leave..

So no dive for me tonight either...
