Hello everyone. I am a newly certified OW diver living in Lynnwood. Just completed my certification last weekend. Looking forward to making many other dives and getting further certifications. Decided to explore diving as I have a boat that we take regularly up to the San Juan and Gulf Islands. Plenty of room for tanks and such on board.

Hey Sunny,

I am also new to this area and am currently getting my card. I also have a boat,.. a 36' carver yacht. We should hook up soon and do some diving! My wife and 13 year old are also getting certified. Are you a family guy??

Anyone else out there looking for a boat to do some boat dives... drop me a line... Always looking for companions/friends with gas money!

Hey Sean,

I am in stall R 39.... The blue one that has been under construction all summer!!!

We bought it from a guy who left it sitting in Lake union for over 10 years uncovered and unused... Its been a nightmare restoring her, but she has new engines, new paint and is a runnin SOB now...

I will look for you when I am up there this weekend.

Are you closer to i5 or the entrance? My wife and I might have spoken with you as you had your boat in the water (not completed painting) and we were heading out. Was that you? Did you just paint the hull blue?

Post by **Samson** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 1:38 pm

I think we will go try our hand at some Salmon fishing Sat.......We like to stay at Port ludlow overnight.......Do you ever do any overnighters on your boat??

Yes,.... was that you guys that were inviting me to join the yacht club?? Whats the name of your boat??

sunnydude · Post by **sunnydude** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 1:45 pm

Then it was you. Crimson Pride is our boat and it was Mukilteo Yacht Club.

We have 150 hours on the boat since March so you could say we do overnighters.

Spent 10 days in the Gulf Islands in August. Soccer has arrived so we are limited right now in going out.

BTW...your boat looks great with the blue paint.

Ha This is cool!

I recently met a diver / co-worker for ten years at the same company different shifts/location.
While at a company training,
he was wearing a hat with a dive flag, sitting behind me in the classroom.
I asked him if he was a diver.
He said yes, him and his wife were recently certified.
I asked him if he new about nwdiveclub.com
He said,"Yep I'm on there, I'm Diverbob!"
And I said, "I'm Bassman!"
Then he said "you're the one who responded to my post last night!"

We both had a good laugh and we both have another dive Buddy!

See, it just goes to show that we are all connected in some weird way!! BTW, I'm not really "new", but decided it was time to get my own screen name instead of "lurking" over DiverBobs shoulder!
