New to the Club - and Interested in new Diving Buddies!

Post by KeithBoll »

Hi!
I am new to NW Scuba and love getting wet! I have 110 dives under my belt. I enjoy cold water and warm water diving. I appreciate UW photography and don't mind slowing down a dive to take some great pics! I have done a number of drift and current dives. I haven't done much night diving - but I am open to more night dives. For the past three years, I have been diving with family members - but now the family members are no longer at home! My wife and I own a vacation rental on Hood Canal, so I have enjoyed diving Sund Rock, Octopus Hole and other Canal dives. For the rest of the time - I am located in Snohomish, WA and I'm open to any dives around Puget Sound. Let me know if you would like to join me for a dive!
Thanks, Keith

Welcome to the club Kieth!

Since you're in the north end keep an eye out for Mukilteo Monday Madness (MMM) threads. Usually 1 dive at 4:00, one at 6:30, followed by heading across the street to the diamond knot for beer.

Welcome, Keith!

Looks like there will be a good turn out for the club dive on the 9th - you should definitely head down to
Redondo to meet and dive with some of the group.

Hey there Keith,

I am always looking at a chance to get out and do some diving and always looking for new dive buddies. I live in Bellevue and have dove mostly in the Seattle and North Sound but am always open to try something new. Let me know if you want to get out.

Keith, what's your availability? I'm in Woodinville, and I have just picked up a camera and am probably making everybody who dives with me crazy by moving so slowly. I'd be delighted to meet up for a toodle around Edmonds or Mukilteo some afternoon. And don't miss the Mukilteo Monday night Madness dives -- it's a really good group of folks!

ps... Sunday's are always good for me if you ever need a buddy

Keith,

Welcome! I would definitely dive with you. My dive preferences are wide open, from a very stationary dive (taking pics) to an aggressive on the go (always moving) dives (covering a lot of real estate). Hit me up, or post a dive day, and you'll be surprised who will show up or respond. I live in Edmonds.

Hi, I'm a new member of this site and I'm interested in meeting the group that meets in Mukilteo and would like to go on the 6:30 dive. Do I just meet you there or should I contact someone in the group to confirm the dive?

Look for (or start) a thread for that Monday to make sure someone will be there, other than that, just show up!

Hey Rhonda,
I sometimes make Dive 2-3 @ Mukilteo on Mondays but almost always go for the Thurs. Shop dive with the group from Evergreen Dive... In fact I'll be there tomorrow so if you want to get a dive in pm me or meet at the shop by 6... :angelblue:
I also go out every Sunday...
The same goes for you too Keith...
And Welcome to the Club to you Both!!!
