Hello Six Gill, nice to meet you (virtually). Valerie was right in that this is a good group of friendly people. We have a wide variety of experience levels and you're a welcome addition.

Welcome to our little band of outcasts and misfits!

John,

Thanks for the kind welcome; of course I am interested in Race Rocks! Did a couple dives there in May, but haven't been up since then. Galapagos is the end of next month; any words of wisdom would be wonderful from anyone. And, doing the wrecks in Nanaimo the first part of November. Hmmm, let's plan well in advance!

PM me with time frames, etc for any Canada diving!

Hey, who are your calling a outcast or misfit nailer?

Actually I kind of like that. Maybe we should change the club name to

"NORTHWEST OUTCASTS & MISFITS DIVE CLUB"

Hey Six Gill!

It's good to see you here! Wish I could dive with you before you go to the Galapagos but I probably wont be able too..

Talk to you soon!

You Rock!

WOW! you know your stuff!

Welcome and keep us safe. If your ever in the area, ie Tacoma, lets go diving!

I hope you can get out to Darwin and Wolf. Katrina and I were out there 12 years ago. If you have some extra cash I might think about getting a PLB or a radio in a canister for diving out there. We surfaced quite a distance away from our tender and it took him a couple of minutes to find us. There is current and swell out there. Make sure you have some sea sickness medicine with you.

And make sure you go on a guided tour of the area around Quito (sp?). Bring a hood if you get cold easy.
