Northwest Dive Club

I'm soooo jealous. The heck with all of you. Headed overseas next month and the to-do list is still plentifull. Didn't want to take Chad n Cory's money anyway. Looks like a few dives during crab season and my PNW diving days are over.

I see how it is. I fly to Atlanta for a week and this is what happens when I'm gone. You city slickers can't leave me behind. :neener: Hopefully Chad didn't give my seat away. Have yet to discuss with the wife, but you know I can't miss this opportunity to bring in King Ling. Headed to Kuwait in Jul...

So the Skyline experiment continues........

The fingers definitely had some current. My head is hurting just by trying to focus on your video. Wasp and I did a free ascend and ended up way out. Boats were a major concern. Don't think they any of them knew what a dive flag was. Luckily we had a live boat, whistle and SMB. Great times though, g...

Tell us how it went Coop! Need to know! I'm stuck at work Dude, Same thing happened to me. Currents looked good on paper, but got caught up in some current. We splashed at 1215. According to Fidalgo Head Burrows Island between, on my trusty dusty I-phone Tide App, max flood was .6 knts at 0930 and ...

Dude....always listen to the ole wise one. :rawlings: If you have access to a Tides and Currents program, use Fidalgo Head-Burrows Island Between for currents, which is not listed on Plan your dive. Chalk that up to lessons learned. Today is a good day and I'm headed out shortly. 1241 Slack, splashi...

A few wild life pictures the wife took.

Nice, very tranquil.

No, you have your gear. Just explaining how Ross may have ended up with your DE. For some reason your spool was tied to his SMB, so I cut the line and sent the pieces on their way.

Sorry Matt, it may be yours. Your reel was on Ross' SMB.

Big Foot? No you didn't. It was funny as hell though.

Beer? Ask Joe, then ask Matt about someone taking his RHIB for a spin.

Hey Doc, tell us your secret.

Ya ya... da hippie redneck can cook! LOL Thought you were Mexican or was it Spanish? I had a great time. Tatoosh Island vis was exrtaordinary. Last year all sites had that kind of vis. Don't think most of you paid Chad your $5. I have to listen to his bragging rights. Special thanks to Chad and Cor...

Glad you finally got to dive the Pass. Truly an awesome dive. Last time mother nature wasn't kind to us. The WIDC gang was there, but unfortunately I couldn't make it. H20 doc missed out on the Pass again.

Just returned from Neah Bay so stand by for that thread!

I HAVE A NEW GUN!!!!

Don't forget a stringer. Trying to put fish in a catch bag sucks, especially if it's a nice size Ling. Did that last year. :angry:

Hey.. you're doing great. I've only been shooting UW vids for 2 years now (I will admit that I have a still photo background which does help)..and its been a fun yet steep learning curve. Keep at it and read all the internet discussion groups you can. FYI, the wetpixel site sometimes has some good ...

As Fuzzy Zoeller once said "fried chicken and collard greens" will be served at the next dive outing.

Anyone seen Oceans today? Previews looked awesome especially the diver swimming next to a great white. I break the sterotype already, but NEVER will I dive eyeball to eyeball with a gw.

Wow, Thursday was sure a mess. Did anyone go up to Skyline on Friday? I'm still sorting out optimal currents there and would like to know what happened. My suspicion was there was an outgoing current that didn't change. Fritz I didn't. Couldn't escape work, but according to the tables it was flat f...

Langley was hosting an underwater egg (golf ball) hunt so my buddy picked me up at 7am :coffee: and we headed down to Langley, about an hour drive from Oak Harbor. Got there early, only the local dive guru Pete beat us, so we had dibbs on good parking. The WIDC gang was there plus many others. A spe...

Coop, why you standing there looking like a gun slinger? Was Doc getting ready to draw on you?

An ole wise man once told me don't hate the playa, hate the game.

By the way Doc, my name is Super Coop not Supper Coop. Sorry to dissapoint, but I'm not for dinner.

That's funny. Doc you run faster with your fins on.

I would love a more detailed report on this dive from those of you have done it. Entry / exit, dealing with current, the relative strength of the exchange that is necessary to dive it, etc. Thanks! Arrived North Beach parking lot in Deception Pass State Park at 10:00. Jan K, Morning Diver Bob and a...
