Northwest Dive Club

I was to try scooter diving before investing. Any recommendations to accomplish this?

Most of us can loan you what we ride for a dive. The Tahoe benchmark data are outdated but still relevant

Although there are a number of changes and new manufacturers out there now. Reality is that 1) getting a used unit, 2) diving it a lot and deciding what you really like/dislike, 3) then upgrading to your ideal unit is a generally wise path.

I recommend we go for a dive together since I have two scoots

The first time I went scootering I exited the water thinking "I wish I had children so that I could sell them and buy a scooter!".

They don't call it crack for nothin'. Be prepared.

Thank you Captn! Much appreciated.

Great! PM me. I promise to leave my big camera rig on the beach the first run :-)

I already used their college funds for Scuba, so selling them is the next step :-)

You have a scooter budget? That might help narrow the options to selling only 1 child or multiple children :p

come take a DPV class with us, you get to do a couple of dives and try at least 2 or 3 different models....

too late ..... he saw the power of my Magnus 950 ...

You can stop by our factory (Dive Xtras in Mukilteo) and see how they're made. Then we can go on a dive...we've got more scooters than Jeremy :-)

Let's get Piranhas together Jesse! We can be Ponch and John.

I'd love to, but my scuba units are low. I just finished a scuba drying room and even though it's badass it set me back a little
