Northwest Dive Club

It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN for us - we are looking forward to just scheduling it and coming! It'd be better for me to ship the tank to you though as I'm not sure when the WHEN will be. Let me know.

I'm on the Eastside (Issaquah/Sammamish area) and could get the tank for you - I'd be happy to get it off his hands before he goes to school and arrange shipping. I've actually talked with the wife about doing an AK diving trip - what time of year is the best vis? Did you say you've got extra weight...

Just wait - Verizon will come out with the underwater razor here soon I'm sure.

Is that's what the suit does? It pressurizes like a submarine?

Welcome Aboard!

No wolfeels in Cozumel!!! Welcome!!! :rr:

Jean Michel Cousteau is the same moron who made the stupid shark-sub that screamed "my grandpa left me money and I want to be popular like he was so I made a shark sub that didn't work and made a movie about it." I can't say I'd be upset if he got eaten... stupid shark-sub crap. On the oth...

Not to hijack the thread - I KNOW WHO'S IN THE PICTURES!!! Bob put on a great class - my breathing improved the next morning when I started using the technique he described. It also kept me from feeling like I "needed air." Thanks GD!

Estimated speed on the report with skid marks, damage, etc was 40-45 mph into the back of our stopped car... When the insurance adjusted looked at the frame and underside of the car, she paused... then she simply said, "damn, she hit you hard." It could have been prevented had the dumb &am...

Mr. & Mrs. Sounder are confirmed, bringing the projector, the DAN Safety Sausage, and my new DSS Torus wing!!! \:D/ Wahoo it's here!!! \:D/ You should have seen the look on the receptionist's face when I came out to get my package... she says "What the hell is in there?! I can't lift it!&qu...

I've already got my TV set to record the squid thing - I've seen the video clip... and it's a BIG SQUID! I just hope it doesn't end up being like the shark sub crap. I'm really interested in the science behind it, the squid behavior, what they eat, how the scientists finally got one, etc. Apparently...

I have this one:
Coastal Fish Identification - California to Alaska. Paperback. Author Paul Humann. New World Publications, 1996.

Janna recommended it after I took her class! 1 down, 100 to go!!!

Great review! I've done most of my dives thus far at Cove 2, and I'm excited to complete AOW and get to the I-beams that everyone talks about. I've read so many reviews and studied the map so much that I almost feel like I've been there. I haven't heard of the twin tanks and "odd cross" on...

But you can't light argon on fire!!! ...not that anyone here would have ever done that (or other stupid stuff) in college. :violent2: :violent3: The best quote I ever heard was "there is a time and a place for everything... and that time and place is college." :book: :la: :bootyshake: \:D/

Bob - I've got the projector so you don't need to rent one. It's good to be in with the IT guys... they had 3 projectors to spare when "there aren't any left."

Sent you a PM...

Hawaii diving is hard to beat man - it's very different here, but there's something to be said about diving in swim trunks and being able to see 150'! PSW diving is sweet in it's own right though - things are BIG here.

Trying to talk Mrs. Sounder into a 2nd boat is proving tough... she's all for the swim deck though!

72 units isn't hard to stomach! I like the sound of buying the local fire department's boat... how'd you stumble on that!? I may start watching craigslist or something similar to see if I find a total steal. My friend also keeps his eye on things like that so I'll put him on the hunt... how long it ...

Mrs. Sounder and I have a little gift (don't get too excited, it's not much) for you to mark the occassion!!! We'll bring it on Friday. She's on the phone and says congrats too!

I think you get a merit badge for 1500 dives don't you?!

Think of how many cubic feet of compressed air you've breathed!!!

How many days (24 hour periods) have you spent underwater?!

Congrats!!!

Wahoo!!!

$16,000 &%#$@!!! :pale: #-o Eventually a compressor will be cool, and I'm starting to look at swim platforms that hang about 18" in the water off the back of a stern-drive skiboat. Course, skiboats are for skiing... Zoidaks are for diving. I might need a new boat too! How many scuba units i...

Yeah the ferry dock is at the north end of the island, but there are two other docks, one of which is near the south end. I was just curious. The trip on the ferry back to Anacortes is costly and time consuming. I really want to dive Davidson Rock, but it sounds like a weekend at Lopez isn't the tim...

Well, I can identify with your pain :-({|= (or pleasure?! \:D/ )!!! We're clearing out a portion of the work room (an extra 2 car garage that is enclosed and is soley for storage) to become OUR version of Davy Jones Dive Locker! I'm with you Nailer!!! In the last 21 days, Mrs. Sounder and I have cre...
