Hey Calvin - we'd have to see what we really turn from it, but it might be worth it! There are some considerations that will need to be addressed. If NWDC starts collecting money, there needs to be some form of direction provided by members or directors. The other alternative is for NWDC to become a...

In-line Octo Opinions?
Hey everyone - in looking at gear purchase, of course the "neat factor" of the in-line octopus (I'm considering the Atomic SS1) has presented a question for me. I've solicited many difference opinions, but would like to know who uses them and what they like/dislike about them. I'd also lik...

Welcome LG!!! If you're looking for the best instructor in the entire Puget Sound... I can make a recommendation and he is probably lurking on this thread somewhere - he's part of NWDC. If you haven't completely secured your class yet, PM me and I'll hook you up with him (assuming he is teaching a c...

I'd love to - unfortunately I'll be fresh off my honeymoon and spending a bunch of money at the Underwater Sports sale!!! We've got a place on Lopez... and a boat too - perhaps you and your husband will have to come stay at our house for a weekend in exchange for a private lesson later in the summer...

I agree - they're both excellent lights. I'm looking forward to getting wet with them. I'd be happy to lend the Blast and the Aqua Strobe to you to include in your review too. I'd offer to write it but having nothing to compare it to along with only a handful of dives under my belt, I think I'll sti...

Check out: http://www.scubadiving.com/scuba/gear (although today they've been doing maintence on it so be patient if it doesn't load) and look in the lights section. There is a review of a bunch of hand-held lights including the one you're talking about. Just check it out and do a side-by-side compa...

Princeton Tec Scuba Lights
So I've heard all the different opinions on hand-held versus canister, and have seen the difference. Yes, canister lights are the brightest by far... and you're getting what you pay for!!! I am getting a canister light, but had a chance to pick up some of the Princeton Tec lights, cheap. My brother ...

probably a dumb question...
If I wanted to get a tank "hydroed," do I go through my dive shop or is there an independent agency that does it? How much does it cost and how long are my tanks away?

I had the opportunity to dive the Torus 35 wing and I must there - there's nothing wrong with it (ok, so it was amazing)! It dived like a dream and I will be purchasing one. It took a novice diver like me (who's dived numerous rigs thanks to renting and borrowing gear) and made me feel like a pro. M...

An underwater wedding would have been awesome because then our nutty family wouldn't come - my my parents would be there!!! Our friends could all get certified and attend. Yeah, if I knew then what I know now... this would be a very different wedding! She's a great girl though and has her OW so hope...

Thank you for putting that link there. It's a long article but worth every page. I read the whole thing and learned a lot about IWR (In Water Recompression). It appears to be something no training agency will recommend but appears to have dramatic results for those who do it. Water conditions, dange...

I'm glad you both are ok - and this provides an excellent example where a few dollars each month can really pay off in the end... and if you flood your camera you're covered too!!! I'm glad you're both ok; I can imagine that was scary. Warning/Disclaimer - ignorant new diver about to post about some...

Welcome Tobin! You couldn’t have selected a better PNW test diver than Bob! I had an opportunity to try on and play with your gear and am looking forward to diving the new Torus wing very soon. You will be receiving my order for a full rig very soon (with a Torus 35), and I’ll be anxiously awaiting ...

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'm excited about getting quite active (at least one dive a week if possible and a couple weekend dives every month... more if I'm able). The Misses will get back in the PS but it'll be a while. We're diving Hawaii for our honeymoon and I'm sure after that she'll...

Newest Rookie!
Hey everyone, I'm your newest rookie, but I too found all the boards and like the "personal" angle of this one. I'm a brand new diver, although I've been around it much of my life. I live on Pine Lake (on the plateau)and have a mother-in-law on Lake Sammamish (so if you'd like to dive or t...
