Northwest Dive Club

just wondering who here holds a tech cert,, what is it? whats your next goal in the tech world and how soon, and finally how many tech dives you doing weekly/monthly.

oh i guess i will go first

naui phase1 ( tech nitrox and deco procedures, light trimix)

next goal is trimix 1 in the next month or so.

before the flu bug and crappy winter blues i wa doing at least one staged deco dive a week, as the weather warms a bit its usually 2.

Nice try Howard, I already fell for the who's DING DONG is longer. Not doin' it again.

wasnt looking to lay it out on the table bj, was hoping for a little networking amongst the local tech community. expanding the buddy list of techies this summer would be a fun way to do some new dives and meet some new peeps.


but you do bring up a good point, if you are not open to dive with strangers or peeps not in your "gang" please dont respond.

Trimix one

open to dive with all people

Adv Nitrox, Deco Proc, Trimix (TDI).

Haven't utilized them much tho and would love to plan some "simple" tech dives to build experience.

whats your schedule like valerie??

this is exactly why i did this post. now lets dive

Howard, I'd like you to meet my friend Valerie. Val, this is my buddy Howard. I should have introduced y'all a long time ago- my apologies!

Hey Howard

I'm a Mon-Fri person these days, with most weekends off. I can dive some evenings, depending on homework (also in school).

Oh, and I'm a South Sounder.

Ah, that's okay Josh

We actually know each other anyway. We've even been on the same boat before, just not actually been diving together.

OC Trimix Instructor,
OC Adv Trimix Diver,
CCR Adv Trimix Diver,

All issued by the lovely Mel Clark (scubgrunt) Who I highly recommend!

It's too cold to do much more than 50 minutes right now the water is 35 degrees. In the summer we wreck dive or do a deep wall every week or two depending on who is available.

I'm pretty much out of classes to take unless I switch rebreathers, to do CCR instructor, or become an IT.

Did you train with Neil and Don Kinney? I am only advanced Nitrox/Deco cerified but am interested in diving. If you or any one might be interested in diving send me a PM. The Glen Ayre dock has a really easy entry with some great structure/wall below 130 feet.

My goal is to complete my Tri Mix later this summer.

future:
MOD2/3-full trimix- when I get bored of mid range diving.

Would like to have more CCR dive buddies who enjoy cold water reef diving with moderate deco, MOD 160ish who are also looking toward trimix and going deeper longer.

Yes I did! Love Don to bits, an excellent instructor in my books. I love being away for the few days, provides a nice break in addition to the class, and the convenience of the Yellow House wjth Don's gear house can't be beat.

Currently taking Megalodon CCR Class with Leon.

Looking to do mid-range CCR dives, preferably with other Meg divers as soon as class is complete, can generally dive ~4 days a week.

Love to scooter.

Depends on what you call a "tech" dive

Goal: Sell more she-p's, accrue more dive gear, visit cool places, do CCR cave cert?

anyone up for some deco this wed or thursday??

I would be up for Thursday. Anywhere particular in mind?

Are you talking a post-work dive or daytime? I might be available for the former.

-Valerie

what ever works for you val, open to all sites since ken and i are both off that day

NAUI Trimix I and II

Don't do tech dives often enough lately ... would love to expand my circle of tech friends.

Upcoming ... wreck penetration class in May, cave training in August

... Bob (Grateful Diver)

Adv Trimix, been doing 1-2 deep ones a month to 220-280 (all I can afford on OC), and 2-3 a week of the 150-160 range on Nitrox with Deco. Am up for Thursday, what did you have in mind? Am prepping for the Multnomah on the 5th of April.

Cave, TriMix, Scooter diver.

Looking for dive buddies. Nice personality but not taking myself too seriously. Have a team. Techies welcomed, although most of our dives are in 60-100 range.
