Northwest Dive Club

Hey, maybe newbies CAN give worthwhile advice?!? [-X I purchased a perscription mask before my initial certification, and diving being such a visual sport I'm glad I did! Other than that, unless you REALLY know the direction your diving will be taking I would really echo Bassman's thoughts of rentin...

Welcome Valerie! As a new diver (38 dives) we always welcome the great advice, wisdom, perspective and experience brought by long time divers! Glad to be on board with you! Tom Nic

I will find out if my wife can be there as well soon...

We also would not be staying Saturday night, but will come back for some Sunday afternoon diving!

A mapping question: Isn't it really all about underwater structure?

I know that you record depths and gradient, etc., but without a fair amount of structure there's really not lots to map....

Very nice!

Beats pink flamingos and garden gnomes!

EUP is kind of far north for us Lakewood / Tacoma folks... but we are interested. Please keep us posted.

And for closer projects, if we can schedule it we'll be there!

Calvin! My sympthies on the neck seal... that stinks! Sorry that mapping Three Tree did not work out. Selfishly, I would love a map of the site. Realistically, it is too spread out with not enough structure to map easily. It is a huge site. It was great diving with Nailer and Mav... even if we didn'...

There's got to be more to this story... sorry for the skepticism. Come on... what kind of dive buddy would just sit there filming while you were in a fight for your life? Was anything done to provoke the octopus? :axe: I know that they are not cuddly, and anything THAT BIG has to eat big stuff... :t...

Captain Ron! Welcome! Looking forward to August!!

Wow!

Whatever that hit, I hope it wasn't alive!

I like it too! ...although I still say the fish should be a Grunt Sculpin.... \:D/ http://www.psat.wa.gov/you_can_do/creature/grunt_sculpin.htm "Anyone who has seen a grunt sculpin knows that these guys make you want to giggle through your regulator. They are so cute as they "buzz" ar...

I suppose if you're going to step into the lion's den of mass marketing you need a good attitude and a throw away email address! Good luck!

I already own the reg. It's a great one... I really love it. Would love to have another for my pony!

Go for it, Sounder!!

Although I will be jealous if you end up with the free reg!

So.... :smt024 Now that the adds are up and crankin'.... :book: Does anybody know anything about the reliability of the "Free Dive Regulator" add? Is it legit? Do you have to buy a Delta 4's worth of stuff to get the reg? ](*,) Or endure endless spam for the rest of your life? :axe: Or get...

Hey Calvin, I have some flexibility now that Bassman's work isn't a factor. I can be there earlier if it will help. As it is I'll probably get there between 2 and 2:30 unless I hear different from you. I'm looking forward to the project!!

Unobstrusive to the point of being unnoticeable!

Put some on top!

I take it you have control of where they go on a page and how many there are??

The Trilam on my Aqua Pro Plus would take quite a bit to puncture!

With the thinner shell suits that of course is NOT the case.

Welcome Tom! It's about time we had some more Tom's around here! Puget Sound diving is absolutely wonderful... though I am itching for a warm water tropical dive or three! Once you get past the cold (easily doable with a dry suit) and the viz, the life and variety here is a blast. Plus, you might as...

Great Suggestions!

Non-diving wives... now there's a thought. I have no doubt what the main reaction would be!

And don't forget to add a video camera to the monkey-in-a-tree-with-a-tazer plan!

Bassman and myself have done 8 dives at 3 Tree North. Current has never been a big issue, though if the exchange was huge all bets would be off, of course. I will plan on being there around 2, with two tanks. Just point me in the right direction, tell me what to do, and I'll help as much as my ample...

Congrats Janna! It's nice to get new stuff, but what a headache in the meantime! This highlights a dillemma for the majority of us who do our diving from shore... what to do with our gear in the meantime. I remember wanting to hoof extra tanks, etc shoreside so as not to have to hike all the way bac...

I'll be there Saturday!

I already contacted Lavonne by email. I'll be at the Saturday class, and the following boat dive. If there is room I may make it up for the boat dive on Friday, but I'll be spending money at UWS on Friday morning at the Divers Fair!

I AM SPIDERMAN :supz: :supz: :supz: Funny, he was always my favorite super hero! I remember reading all the Spiderman comics :book: when they were 10 cents, 12 cents, and then becoming VERY upset when they hit 25 cents. Boy I wish I had saved some of them! :axe: ...more coin for buying dive equipment!

Please allow me to echo most of the comments here... -Money REALLY complicates things, and one of the beauties of this club is that it is free! -That being said, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and I'm sure the majority of folks on this board want to pay their own way. -I know that I would b...

Calvin, I should be able to make it at 2 or even a little before. Are you still going for it?
