Northwest Dive Club

Well, considering that the location of my current home was chosen based STRONGLY on the proximity of the nearest Starbucks (3 within a one block radius!!!)...maybe this study explains my love of diving! And why I prefer to dive in the Sound more than warmer waters. ... You know, that's kind of dist...

"Wash. Scientists Say Holiday Baking Has Impact on Puget Sound; Waterway Is Flavored by Vanilla" Story at http://hamptonroads.cox.net/cci/newsnational/national?_mode=view&_state=maximized&view=article&id=D8M8PEK80&_action=validatearticle (one of these days I'll learn how t...

That was just beautiful!! - LMAO!!

Thanks

This sounds like an excellent addition to the Olympics. Do you think we could get Spare Air to sponsor it for us? :) Rates right up there with the spear gun shoot out, where the top 2 teams load up, swim twenty kicks then turn and shoot. The survivor gets the Best Diver award. :) Hey I like that, i...

And for other stories of dumb mistakes, enjoy: http://www.scubadiving.com/lessonsforlife ](*,) These are "great" stories and one of the things I enjoy about the mag... My kids do too ... in fact, its the first the thing that they turn to when the mag comes. Great discussions follow betwee...

Wow - talk about the "have's" and "have nots!!"

Cal -

Thanks loads - she's a riot! LMAO. Love her attitude.

.... I tried to get up the nerve to introduce myself to as many of them as I could, and let them know what divers are doing for some of the recent underwater problems. ..... Janna - Good for you!! .... I know what you mean - being forward like that can be difficult, and I applaud you for doing that...

That's a fantastic forum and it looks like WSA reps were definately listened to - but like GW, I hope they were heard ! Being relatively new to Puget - a question ... In this regard, what has the Governor's track record been on environmental (particularly Sound issues) in the past? Good / indifferen...

Wishing you all the very best for the holidays and the new year.

May your homes be filled with love and joy!

Merry Christmas!!!

I hope Santa is good to you!

Tim put that together with the help of a lot of input from members of ScubaBoard. It should be accurate ... many of the measurements came from people like me who dive and own the products. ... Bob (Grateful Diver) Clearly, that WAS a lot of work and took some time to compile! "Attaboy" an...

Yummy apres-dive snack???

All - :book: I've been looking to get a backplate setup and in shopping around and reading everything I can on it, I came across this pretty comprehensive table comparing backplates and wings. It compares specs of BPs from 20 companies and wings from 15. While I can't vouch for the accuracy of all t...

Wilky -

Welcome aboard! Glad to have you!

Congrats to you both!! A beautiful baby!

You are blessed!

(I think we have a new record for the youngest NWDC member!)

Some pretty cool things here ('course, not as cool as Calvin's webpage! :evil4: )... http://www.ocean.com/ A pretty polished web site. Nice albums, some vids, news, etc. Their self-purported purpose: "... to provide 'ocean people' from around the world with a source of ocean news, education, co...

Excellent discussion!

Hey, that's pretty good ... thanks. I think the most interesting (and perhaps telling) part of the story was: "Eric Pawling, 44, an inmate incarcerated for petty theft, said well-publicized animosity between prisoners of different races in the prison system had no place in the diving program. &...

:smt024 The recent turns in the " Missing Diver in Tacoma " discussion lead me to ask this larger question to you MDs & DIs: When you are on a dive boat, esp one of the cattle boats in somewhere like HI ..... what is your obligation / responsibility to: a. ID yourself as a MD or DI to ...

Sounds more like "Psycho Mike."

...... the dive shop is telling me that the problem is that the camera doesn't work well with a 1 gig memory card. My question to you all is: has anyone else had these same experiences or is the dive shop feeding me a line?... While I have no experience with this camera, it seems to me that if it w...

... Then there was the time years ago when I turned on my air, and my buddy during the buddy-check then turned it off and back on 1/2 a turn. Breathed fine at the surface, but got a little hard to breath at 60 ft! That ol' " righty-tighty, lefty-loosy " thing? #-o (Are you sure he was you...

Absolutely right!!!
