Northwest Dive Club

Chad,

Wish I could be there. I will have my dive gear up at our cabin at Eliza Island. My big dive will be to set the mooring line for the season. Woo Hoo . The following weekend I will be camping in the islands with my youngest son. Really need to get some good dives in.

Gear washdown is my key motivation. Washing gear back home is a PITA and is my least favoret part of diving.

I plan on having my power supply from my trailer light plug. I purchased a cooler with a standard 3/4" hose fitting as a drain plug. I will attach a short hose to cooler and exterior pump and a second hose with garden sprey handle for shower and wash down. My pump is an on demand style pump. It...

And don't forget the awsome 5 foot viz.

I have had the same idea, except I was going to use a washdown pump that would not be submersible. Your idea is more simple to use. I'm not sure how much hot of water the bilge pump is designed to handle. I also planned to use a foam seal at the lid edge and some tie down straps to secure the lid fr...

Farkle is a dice game with 6 dice. You can download rules off the internet. Fun game of chance with not much thinking involved. A game anyone can play no matter how much drinking is involved. Score with ones, fives, three pair, three of a kind, etc..... At first I did not like the game. Not much to ...

That was a few years ago. It is harder to repete that tradition.

Had a fun night with Mrs. Scuba Scott, (Laura) and celebrated with some Margaritas in my new machine. Played Farkel (a dice game) and here I am back on the board. Perhaps it would be a better choice to go up to bed.

Opening day of boating and Shrimp Season ended well after a day of challenges. Brian and I launched the boat at Deception Pass and started our adventure out to Iceberg Point. Less than 1/4 mile from the ramp there was steam rising from the engine cover of my Glasply I/O boat. I discovered that the c...

I was picking up my boat today by Sea Tac and heard a large bang and pop pop pop so I look up and see a commercial airplane with the left engine on fire and blowing flames out the back. This was about 3:15 Wednesday afternoon. Everyone from local business ran outside to see what was going on. I hope...

For everyone who wished they could join us at Waterman's Wall, you did not miss much. The current was perfect all day, but the Viz was very poor for this location. Brian and I splashed our first dive at 11:00 am. No current and we anchored right at the edge of the wall. As planned we attached a line...

Watermans Wall on 4/18/09. Viz was poor on the top 40 feet. 7-10 FSW. Below 40 feet the viz was 15. Not very good for this dive. Lots of crud in the water and very green. Dove to 130 feet and no light was getting down.

Sorry to hear your pain. I hope I never go through that. Brian, (ozzie diver) will be joining me in the morning and we will drive to Port Orchard and launch. I never got the boat in the water this week for a test run. I will take my 19 foot boat since we only have two divers. Plan to splash for our ...

Bummer dude. Good luck with your effort to replace it. Maby my A620 will float your way. Come down and join me on Saturday and you will forget all about it. Well perhaps not. But I guarantee you a good dive day on my boat.

I might launch at Port Orchard. Can someone tell me if this is a good launch?

We will be diving it Saturday April 18. 10:00am - 2:00pm.

Kitsapdiver, I'm not sure if we will drive around or launch on this side. I will need to do a test run with the boat this week and make sure there are no issues after a winter storage. Need to get the old girl in the water and see what she can do. If we come from the east by boat we can pick you up ...

OK,

Less than a week away. LCF, are you going to Watermans on Saturday? Aquanautchuck, are you bringing up your boat? Norris, are you still in on this dive? I have two divers on my boat with me.

Here is a picture from my last trip to Neah Bay.

Still plan on diving Watermans Wall. You can join us on a boat dive.

Chad,

I would like to join you for the weekend. What weekend are you going? We would stay at snow creek when I have gone in the past. They do fills and have cabins.

OK. No fancy songs or editing.

Mathue,

Glad to have you down for a little dive time. Three Tree North was a good choice for our second dive. Viz was great at 20+ feet and 35-40 virticle. I have some video of the crab having Mr. Octo home for dinner.

I would like to do Watermans on Saturday, April 18.

1:30 at Redondo. Splash at 2:00. Two dives.
