New to Diving PNW
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2014 11:16 pm
Hi, I am going to be in the Puget Sound and would love to go diving as much as I can while I am home visiting.
- What is your current level of experience (number of dives, certification level)?
160 dives...though 157 of those dives are 5mm wetsuit in Guam, 3 w/ drysuit (two of those was for drysuit instruction...so a complete drysuit newbie ; although, I had a great instructor! Thank you, Bob Bailey!! ), PADI DM
- Are you new to the area or new to diving cold water?
I use to snorkel the Sound years ago, so I guess that would put me in the new to diving cold water category. :P
- What type of diving are you interested in?
I am interested in shore diving and learning more about DIR. I've read about it but would love to pick someone's brain about this style of diving if anyone is willing to let me.
- Do you have any preferences or limitations that your dive buddies should be aware of?
I enjoy finding nudibranchs, corals, and other critters so am perfectly happy moving at a snails' pace to search and look at all of these.
- When are you available to go diving?
I am available Monday the 21st, or 28-30 of July. Morning, afternoon, evening or anytime, really, works for me. Guess it will depend on the tidal movements unless diving at a site that is not tide sensitive.
