Northwest Dive Club

Ah HA! I see. I guess I better take better care of my copy!!

I was searching Amazon.com today for Betty Pratt-Johnson's new "151 Dives..." book. I was pleased to see that they had it for a good price, added it to my shopping cart, and then browsed for something else to buy. I thought a new nudibranch book would be fun. In my search, I was shocked to...

Yes, the stairs are most definitely closed.

VERY nice pics, Val! Thank you for posting them!

Question...is that skiff their only dive boat?

The Puget Sound Depth Chargers are doing a club dive at Sund Rock on Saturday. First dive at 9:30 AM. If anybody is planning to attend, please drop a line to the club at psdepthchargers@yahoo.com. We are trying to get a head count for parking, carpooling, etc. since space is an issue at Sund Rock.....

Just curious...are you referring to the houses right in front of the dive site? If so, do you own one of those houses? Or does a friend or family member?

All of the 1st place winners, Best of Show, and Judges' Choice will be displayed at Underwater Sports in Federal Way until October 3rd. On that date, they will be auctioned off at the monthly club meeting of the Puget Sound Depth Chargers at the Milton Tavern. Also, look for one of the winning photo...

Congratulations to all of you who participated in the 4th Annual Photo Competition! All of the entries were outstanding, and you should all be very proud of yourselves. We had some landslide victories, and some categories were won by only one vote! And the winners are.......drum roll, please! BEST O...

Am I? (scratching my head...) Well I think it was more of the don't do that (take your cards to the car before checking in) or everyone is going to think you are cheating.. Like at the poker dive.. Even though I would never cheat.. I was teasing you.. :evil4: OHhhhhhhhhhhh YEAH! I remember now! Tha...

Apparently the Depth Chargers have had issues in the past where photographers had actually told all their friends (many of whom were non-divers) to come and vote for their photos. It's actually quite okay to tell your friends and family to come check out the entries in the gallery and to vote. It's...

VOTE! VOTE! VOTE! With 130 photographs submitted by 29 photographers, we need you to vote!!! Please stop by Salt Water State Park on Saturday, August 25th between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to vote for your favorite photograph in each of the nine categories of the 4th Annual Photo Competition! We need YOU...

There's no choice for "both", so I can't vote.

Love the ones at the VW at Redondo!! You just don't see that very often with the awesome viz we had there for awhile. Nice shots, Tim!

I've always been told to use plain talcum powder...no baby powder or anything with fragrance. Apparently, the additives in those have sharper edges and can damage seals. Finding plain old-fashioned talc like grandma used to use is HARD! Drug stores just don't carry anything that is made without frag...

I will be there on Sunday volunteering all day.

Bump...

Only a few hours left today (shop closes at 7:00 PM) and until 5:00 PM tomorrow to get your entries in!!!!

Nope, I wish there was, but there's not. Had you asked this a week ago, I could've met you somewhere to accept your entries, but my next couple days are packed. Sorry. :(

Jenn, thanks for the info. It sounds like they have enough people so I will pass for now--I'm more interested in public safety type work and I am not so good with kids. :) Matt, I can totally understand that how kids can make some people run screaming :vom: and can totally understand how this might...

that sounds like fun. is there somewhere online we can find more information about it? No, no website or anything like that. More info about Salt Water State Park can be found here: http://www.parks.wa.gov/parkpage.asp?selectedpark=saltwater And, if you have any specific questions, I can probably a...

They showed the gear on the news last night. I can't describe the emotions I experienced as a saw a full set of dive gear covered with barnacles.....

Are there any similar opportunities around the Seattle area? If so what level of training is needed? This may not be exactly what you are looking for...but it's definitely a volunteer diving opportunity. Salt Water State Park is always looking for divers to do "critter dives". Basically, ...

I'm just giving this thread a little bump because the entry deadline is less than 1 week away! Don't delay! DEADLINE: Saturday, August 11th at 5:00 PM Entries accepted at Underwater Sports in Federal Way. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here or email psdepthchargers@yahoo.com

I ditched the rock boots altogether! I found them uncomfortable. I am now using a low-top wetsuit boot, and I feel like I'm diving in tennis shoes.

- Redondo at night (awesome night dive) -Valerie I'm glad that you put this one down! I love Redondo! Most folks complain about it and think there's never any life there. I find the life at the site does change with the seasons, but if you open your eyes and slow down, there is so very much to see ...
