Northwest Dive Club

I've been relocated for work and has resulted in a 3/12s (fri-sun) work schedule.
Now that weekends are no longer feasible for me, I now need a weekday/night buddy.

Welcome Erika,

There are a number of us who dive regularly during the week.

For starters, where are you located and which sites do you frequent on a regular basis? General experience level and whether you like to do something specific like scootering or shooting photos is helpful too.

I am in the Everett area, don't mind traveling and love experiencing new spots. I do shoot photos. I've been diving for about 2 years with 122 dives, I have been as deep as 126ft and frequent 100ft.

I am usually up for a later night dive (after 7) during the week. I am also a photographer. Usually prefer to stay above 80' so I can do one nice long dive.

I can handle drifts and pretty decent current.
I don't want my diving to slow down just because my work schedule changes.

I usually get a good hour in on my al 80. I breathe like a girl.

Yeah, i try to stay out of deco as much as possible.

Once I get myself into a new BCD and fins I would be up for weekday daytime diving. I am in the south sound though and usually stay from Three Tree south but can make drives to do some north sites that I have not done in years.

I myself need to do more diving then I did last year. New BCD and fins means I have to dial in my weighting again which I never really did with the old system I had. When I get my new gear and I am ready to dive I will let you know for sure.

I also have a small point and shoot camera but I dont always bring it. I am the one known for having the greatest winter dive buddy of all....... MR HEATER and his friend Canopy /W sides ;-) i am sure he is missed alot this year.

I love S Sound diving. I love bottle hunting down there. Gig Harbor rules for that.

Oh and as you might already know keep an eye out on the dive planning part of the board. there is always a group of divers well diving ;-) I would be a part of the Thursday South Sound (AKA THTHTH )crew if they just did not meet so late

You got the wed Cove 2 divers, thursday crew just for starters.

I've gone down for the Thursday S. Sound dives, but having to be up for work on Friday at 3am, they dive too late

There are some of us who split it up an dive earlier. I know I can dive earlier as soon as I get my gear again. Is it Tuesday yet?

If I'm going to make an hour drive all the way down there, I better get at least 2 dives in

There is also a bunch of us from the Portland/Vancouver area that often come up to dive either Hood Canal or a south sound site on Wednesdays (not this one-everyone but me seems to be out of town). You're welcome to join us sometime if that will work for you. We generally meet at 9am and get 2 dives in before we head back south.
