Northwest Dive Club

Wahoo! :joshsmith: I love getting new equpiment, and fortunately (unfortunately?) I've heard that feeling doesn't wear off... The only thing I got in the mail recently was a new pair of fins...and some aquaseal... I've heard the true way to streamline your gear is to dive wet. Yeah, that's it. That'...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice. I have a friend coming out to visit me before I leave for home again (sad, as I will truly miss the diving out here!) and I wanted to come up with some sites to dive. Of course, all other divers are welcome, the more the merrier :) I was hoping to do one or two...

I want to join in the fun too :( Why oh why did I choose this week to fix my car...oh yeah, because it failed the last two times I attempted to do a weekend dive... :angry:

I hope you all have fun...leave Thursday the 18th open because I *will* be diving!

Wow, those are fantastic! I have to wonder though...and forgive me if this is a silly question...but if they're too small to see with the naked eye (at least well)...how do you see them to photograph them? Is it sort of chance, do you look through your other photos to see what you've caught?

If the other deal doesn't work out, PM me...I'm interested as well.

Isn't that what Mondays are for? Kind of like Fridays are for hangovers, yes?

I was totally down with diving this weekend, but it turns out my car will be with the mechanic until...oh, Friday afternoon, just in time for the end of my day off. So my diving depends on the availability of another car at camp ...we'll see

Way to bust me for being a lame-o and losing not one but TWO buddies guys... #-o To be fair, you try keeping four people you just met, in scuba gear, with the same fins (at least, that's how they appear underwater) straight...especially when there are two there, one swims down the line, and another ...

Welcome! And congrats on being the 1000th member...pretty cool! :smt038

Here are a few from below the surface...nothing out of the ordinary, but I enjoyed shooting some pictures anyway

Wow, that scallop looks really cool! Nice pics, sounds like a good day of diving

I'm lookin' for someone to dive with on Thursday! :supz: :evil4: Oh! and welcome to the club Skyydiiver! :bye: Oo! Oo! Pick me pick me!! I'm off at 2:30 Thursday (= plenty of time to catch the ferry), and have Friday off... Had a great weekend of diving, thanks to everyone who went out with me! :pa...

Wow, those look great! Looks like vis was awesome!

Are you up in the area? I'm on Orcas.

Heh...ok, now a few more things about today make sense...nice diving with you boys, hopefully I didn't keep you from any big fish that you could have caught :P

Ooooo...that one is on my "dream list" of nudibranchs to see out here...good find!

I'm down with that...last time I tried to do the Muk my car failed at the ferry landing...let's hope better luck this time!

Shall we say...11? I couldn't meet earlier than that anyway, after all the travel time is factored in.

It looks like I will be making a run to Onamac point with a couple of folks Saturday morning if you would like to go. I will be launching the boat from Oak Harbor Marina (right outside the seaplane base). Chad PM sent I'd be in for some diving Friday if you are willing to let a random n00b tag alon...

Anyone wanna dive? I'm thinking a few Friday, with a night dive if there are any takers, and a Saturday morning dive (perhaps, if I don't have something else going on) Unless there's anyone up near Anacortes that would like to dive Thursday night, but most of you are quite far south for that... -Elise

I thought your 100th dive was supposed to be done naked....or do they just tell that to the gals in the Bahamas

Seriously though, sounds like a good 100th dive!

Happy Birthday!

I have a feeling there isn't, but I could be wrong. There is a place in Friday Harbour that does fills I know.

The beaches *were* quite amazing this weekend. I saw a hooded nudibranch on our beach, the first I've seen!

Maybe the algae bloom is causeing high levels of nitrates.. Or useing up a lot of the oxygen in the water ? Just a speculation , I'm not a marine biologist, and am just wondering also ? That happens with our lakes back home. Fertilizers wash into the lake from lawns, golf courses, etc, causing high...

That was quick! :thankyouyellow: Edit: interesting information...is there anything I can do to keep him doing well? He seems to be fairly content, but it's hard to say, you know...he was found in one of our holding tanks, and I'm not sure what we had in there before, but I don't think hydroids are s...

So this guy showed up in one of our tanks recently, I think he may have come in as a plankter and settled in for good. I can't find him in any of my books, can someone tell me what he is? He's super cute, whatever he is!
