Hi!
Local West Seattle diver, looking to log more dives. I play rollerderby year round, but heading into off season I want to maximize on the diving opportunities! I've been diving about 8 months, have my advanced cert, all my own gear (except tanks) and am interested in underwater photography- I definitely need some pointers... so any help is welcomed. I'm hoping to go at least once a week, preferably more...
Excited to be here!

Welcome to the group diver/rollergirl. Not real sure of regular dives in the West Seattle area but there are some in the North and South. Keep an eye on the Dive Planning section of the site.

Welcome to the board! Roller derby is fun to watch. Who do you play with?
Our Thursday group usually dives in the South Sound area and has some spectacular and incredibly nice photographers in the group. Keep an eye on the Dive Planning section to see what's up each week. You'll get set up with a buddy if needed.
Happy diving!

Welcome!
As mentioned we have a lot of photographers geeking out on our Thursday night dives. Look for the threads with a title of ThThTh in the planning section. We usually post the plan by each Tuesday night. Here is the one for this week: http://www.nwdiveclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=25530
Hope to see you there soon!

My advice is take the time to make sure your buoyancy and control of your position is rock solid before bringing a camera underwater. Taking pretty pictures is a fun goal for down the road.
Master the fundamentals of diving first. This includes being proficient in anti-silting kick styles, such as frog kick, modified flutter, helicopter, and back kick. With these skills you will be able to hover close to the bottom where the neat critters are, without stirring up the muck.

Re: Rollergirl gone Diver
I just saw this. I'm a local west Seattle resident who dives all the time! Fortunately for you, one of the best dive shops is located in WestSeattle. Go to 5th Dimension and say hi to Mark from me.
Ping me anytime you want to go diving. Since my drysuit is out for repairs, I'm doing a lot of recreational diving in my semi-dry backup suit.
I'm literally 5 minutes away from cove 2, so I usually need a 60 minute heads up and I'm ready to dive.
