Northwest Dive Club

I was just at Tacoma Scuba today and they have Power Plana fins.
I think Josh said they have them as rentals.
You might want to give them a call, he could give you some info.
I need new fins also so I may try a pair in the next week or 2.

I can give you some tomorrow just bring a thumb drive with you.

Hello and welcome.
I am about 30 miles north of you and on the other side of the Hood Canal at Seabeck.
When your ready to check out the other dive sites on the Canal send me a PM.
As for Sund you should have any trouble finding dive buddies for there.

I have dove a 12ft exchange before out there. It wasn't bad but you could feel it.
Are you shore diving or from a boat?
That would make a difference.
If your going from Mikes Beach I wouldn't try it.
Its a 400-500 yard swim and you would be fighting the current and the wind.

It was a cool that day, only 89 degrees .The week before it was 104.

Finally I will be able to make one after 2 years.
See you all Saturday .

Sea level that is.
Was in Death Valley the other day and made it to the lowest spot in the country.
Talk about a wasteland, wow.
After seeing the driest, hottest spot I will take are rain and water any day of the week.

I was asked this question the other day. What made me want to start scuba diving? So I will ask the same question. What made you want to scuba dive? Also I will add the question for those long term divers. What makes you still want to dive? Question 1 There were a couple of reasons I wanted to scuba...

.... the silicone on your mask becomes as hard as the lens.

As a Tacoma owner let me clear something up. The plastic liner is your bed. There is no metal under it so you can't remove it . You could still use a spray in liner but I have never seen anyone do it.The bed is very tough as is. As for corrosion go's I wouldn't worry about it. My 2003 Tacoma had a ...

I'm glad to see others trying to lose weight too. We take our health for granted sometimes and lie to ourselves that all is fine. I was able to carry 50 extra pounds around for the last 10 years just fine so I thought. I only now realize the toll it was taking on me. On a good note my fitness level ...

Welcome to the club.
I have been looking myself for someone to dive with on Sundays.
I will send a PM with my number.

First off, thanks Keith for enduring the boat ride from Hell. I wanted to test the boat out and boy we did. When we came up from our 2nd dive I thought we were at Neah Bay on a bad day. That was the worst turn of weather I've seen on the Canal in 15 years To bad there wasn't much to see today except...

Thanks again for your Reponses.
I will say I didn't see any fish guarding the nest.
There are a lot of small to medium size Sculpins around there so your probably right.
I will be curious to see when they hatch. maybe I can get a shot of some little ones.

Great post Don. Keeping someone's weight down and in check is really not that hard to do, once you have that habit and that exercise fever going. It really depends on which side of the coin one is: Whether you're on the overweight side and just can't get that rhythm going to make it a habit of exer...

Hello everyone. A few of you know me, most of you don't. I thought I would take a few minutes and share a page of my life with you. A year ago today I made a life changing decision. That was to lose weight and get in shape. It was a cold February morning and I just finished up my 1st dive. I was sit...

Thanks for the response's.
The funny thing is I would have never given them a second look a year ago.
I see a lot of the Painted Greenlings there but never a Kelp or White spotted.
I will have to keep an eye on them.

Congrats on 500.
Your pic of the wolf eels on eggs turned out better then mine.
With a nest at Sund and 2 at Flagpole hopefully we will have lots a little wolfie's soon.

I was wondering if someone might know what these are.
I seen these at Flagpole in the Hood Canal about 70fsw.
They had more of a purple color in person and about the size of a BB

Thanks Keith for going with me again today.

I did manage to get 1 shot of the Wolf ell with its eggs but its not that good.
Its not worthy of posting.

here are a few though

Thanks for the responses.
I found a good deal on some regs but don't have a use for them now.
I figured as long as they are stored properly they would be ok for a while.

I was wondering how long is the shelf life of a new unused 1st stage.
Will the O-rings and seals go bad?
Can I keep it 1,2, 3years new in the box and still use it without getting it serviced?

The Quick answer is "ebb" is The period between high tide and the next low tide in which the sea is receding. That is the outgoing tide. Then you have "Flood" that is the incoming tide. The period between flood and ebb is "slack" . I could spend the next hour explaining...

Looks like an amazing site...

Another one to add to my wish list!

Hey Tom, if you would like to dive it I would be glad to take you.
