Northwest Dive Club

Mentioned this elsewhere, but again, standing offer of $2500 still on the table.

Happy diving,
Laurynn

In years past it seems to begin showing up in late July and be most visible through most of August and into September.

Happy diving!

Hey y'all... Just an FYI that local PNW footage from Seainggreen Productions will be featured on this Sunday's episode of "Wild West" on Nat Geo Wild. It's been enormous fun collaborating with Nat Geo on this project, and I'm looking forward to the next production slated for 2014. Look for...

I dove out of a MINI Cooper for four years. When I sold the car last year the buyer could not believe that it looked so new on the interior after four years especially since the car had seen +/- 350 dives. :) My magic trick was to use a rubber maid bin as described above to hold suit, fins, mask, li...

Kees, let's talk. I could do a buy or trade on the defender.

By "southern Thailand" what area do you mean? Phuket/Krabi or elsewhere? Just got back from diving Phuket (living in Singapore a fair chunk of the year these days). The boat situation was not what I'd call optimal and there are a LOT of dive boats going out every day of the week... but the...

Baby octopuses are amazing. The night I was lucky enough to watch a GPO hatch was one of the most awe-inspiring dives I've ever done. And you didn't have to be freezing cold, or do any deco, to watch yours! Do you recall the date and what time of night you saw the hatch? That would be useful inform...

I guess after I spent my second 10 thousand bucks on gear, I kind of really did start thinking in "scuba units"- where 1 SU= $100. so, at < 1 SU, this purchase barely even hit my radar. At my house we have created a new currency called the "ScubaBuck"(SB). $1SB = $100USD or $125...

Low cost and awesome. I have put one on all of my kits. Yes, kits plural. Joy of a dual-continent lifestyle.

You won't regret getting one. They're fantastic.

+1 for the regular sized plate. I'm 5'6" and a regular ol' plate works just fine.

Don't forget Craigslist. I've had very good success selling drysuits at a good/fair price there over the years. Worth a shot...

*laugh snort*

Yup, that's a genuine laugh-snort all the way over here in Singapore.

My mom got me one of these for my birthday this year... and I love it. They're very, very neat.

Any way to coordinate with these folks to get a portion of proceeds (even just $1 per pendant) to be donated to efforts on behalf of the GPO initiative in Seattle? Just a thought...

Thanks for the update Janna! Wow, sounds like a very productive meeting. This is fantastic. I would agree that an updated survey would be important as I think the diving scene has changed radically since then. I am happy about how the community has come together around this issue, and that the unity...

As I said on the other threads, I am happy to help out in whatever manner I can, from fundraising, to donating footage, to volunteering my writing services, to whatever. Please let me know how I can help. So glad to see that an organized effort is underway. This is the only way to effect positive, s...

Nice article! Kudos to Scott and Walter.

I'm in the camp of liking the Al. My first dive on her was "eh" with no vis. Second dive had pretty good vis. It's fun. And Josh is right, there is no better "workup dive site" for the Gov than the Al.

Ginormous kudos to everyone who stepped in, especially to Koos, Doug, and Lynne, for not only handling things in a highly professional manner but for demonstrating a level of caring that often is forgotten in stress-filled situations like this one. You guys rock. Thanks for what you did today. Laury...

Having led the charge on many non-profit (or even more challenging still, grant-based non-profit) work projects, Fritz, Jim, Joyce and Randy (and the WSA), thanks for taking charge and making it happen for Seattle's most popular dive site yet again. I just want to give you a sincere thank you. This ...

St Lucia was beautiful diving when I went there; got in a full week of diving and it was lovely.

But +1 to either ensuring you book your diving through the cruise line and/or ensuring the dive operator is clear on your time limits. Cruise ships do not wait for straggling passengers.

Time for me to find a new home for the last of the gear that must go before I relocate. I have a CF200 DUI drysuit with blue cammo overlay. The overlay on this suit is only on the front chest (does not go down the arms like on TLS suits) so it's minimal. The suit is loaded with all of the extras, in...

Extra thanks for the info on Phuket/Thailand as I too am visiting there. Diving's not the primary objective, but since there's the opportunity, might as well give it a go... On a related note, given the upcoming relocation to SE Asia, feel free to ping me if you have questions on locations around th...
