Hello.....

I'm looking for someone who wants to hook up every once in a while for sunday dives at alki around 4pm (I play the japanese drum and have practice every sunday til 3:30.... so 4pm is best for me.....)

I love to just hang out at and have a look around! I starting diving in 2002 and got my dive master a year ago..... i also work part time at underwater sports...... and spend the rest of my waking hours working. so sundays are good for me!! also, sometimes i have mondays off.... and can dive mid week during school breaks.... (i'm a teacher).

I'm good company! let's dive!
cheers,
erika

Hey Erika-

Good to see you made it over here, this is a good spot. Watch out for Calvin, however . . .

We WILL dive when our schedules mesh, I promise. In the meantime, to everyone else, Erika is a solid diver and a ton of fun-hopefully she can find some regular dive buddies here.

Welcome to NWDiveClub Erika! I think you'll like it here.

Are you in the North end or South end? There are groups of divers diving regularly at Alki, the Muk, and Three Tree and South.

Good Luck!

Hi, Erica! Well, an endorsement from Steading is basically the NWDC's equivilant of "the kiss of death," but this is a pretty forgiving crowd, and hopefully, they'll be able to see past that.....eventually.

Anyway, welcome to the site, and PM me if you want me to nuke this post so you can start over!

Welcome to our "Fruit and Nut" bowl Erika. I am sure you will be able to find plenty of divers.

Welcome to our little P O D (Pool of Dive buddies)
You should find lots of folk to dive with here
I hear a rumor that these folks are not right, unless you submerse them in salt water

if this sounds like your kind of people then your going to fit right in

I emailed you also, it's not Alki but me and some friends are diving Edmonds Underwater Park around 4 (ish) tomorrow, feel free to e-mail me if you wanted to meet up.

We're all diving aluminum 80's though... and we're relatively new, but your more then welcome!

Welcome to the club. You will find no shortage of willing dive buddies here. I have met a large number of folks from NWDC already and I can't wait to meet more. These are all folks who don't just sit here and talk about diving. They DIVE! So with a little advanced notice, most folks here are willing to dive just about anywhere, anytime, for any reason. My number is in my profile, and I invite just about everyone to feel free to call me if you're looking for a buddy. I work until 2pm most of the week, and am off Fri. and Sat.

I hate you.

I didn't bother picking on you-note the barb was aimed at Calvin, what up with no love?

? But......That IS "the love!" Don't tell me you come from one of those so called "normal" families, where everyone said what they meant, and were all in touch with their feelings and junk! Everyone knows that negative attention is waaaay better than NO attention, don't they?

Funny stuff.

If you hug me the next time I see you at Cove 2, I'm gonna kick you in the . . .

BTW, Matt at NWSD LOVES hugs.

Erika, sorry to hijack your thread.

EVERYONE-go dive with Erika.

I'd be happy to ... but not this Sunday, since we'll be in the San Juan Islands ...
