Northwest Dive Club

Is anyone interested?

I am going up to the club dive the 18th. I am looking for some divers that want to carpool up with me in my truck to cut costs. I have a extra cab pickup and have room for up to 3 other divers. If anyone wants to ride up with me and save some money let me know.

Well I went the other way. Sold my racing dirt bike, my quad and my ski's have not seen snow for 3 years, my gun collection is half what it was and just locked away in the dark. Just to pay for the new ScubaCrack habit I have. Life is soooooooo good.

[quote=badd ass piece of work, i have wanted to make something like that for a while, what are you using for water lines for the sink? and drain[/quote] I just put a Y on my hose nib and ran a black underground sprinkler line along the edge of the house (above ground) to it. This way I just turn it ...

It is always a hoot to see how creative divers are. Did we all grow up on Macgyver or just love to tinker. The garden gong/bell I hope to be done with by the end of the weekend. The hard part is finding stuff to recycle for the base.

Here is a picture of my latest DIY project. I know it's not scuba but still cool. Made out of recycled parts except the stainless steel top. Next project is a garden Bell or Gong. Oregondiver gave me a old failed al80 and I already have it cut up and modified. Now I need to make a base and stand.

Calvin, what a great site. It's been a kick watching your progression in the Web based business enviroment over the years. Good luck.

Here is a interesting and cheap boat for diving. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/boa/1927569355.html

For me I carry the following on every dive. It is easier for me to go through the exact same steps for every dive than try to decide what I want to carry on each dive and then make sure I have it on me and where I want it. I always put my spare gear in the same place so I can get it without looking ...

Nice video. Is that the wreck on the South side of Blake Harbor? If it is I never knew its name. I have dove it a bunch of times. In fact, there are two wrecks there. The Boss and a 40's Chris Craft cabin cruiser that sank and landed on top of it. It looks like at 1:50 you can see a few of its ribs.

Sparky!!!!!!! He surface about a year ago for air and then went under again. It would be cool if he showed up for the club dive Jay.

Does any other Oregon diver want to car pool up. I got room in my pu for a couple of divers.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if they were still open.

I am going up camping/diving tomorrow at Manchester for a week. Does anyone know of any dive shops in that area for air?

Thanks

[quote="cardiver And it does not matter if you just cowboy up and do it all in one trip or two, its tough.[/quote] I had a tougher time climbing up the path at DIW last night than I did at Sunrise the night before. Of course I didn't have 10 gallons of water in my suit at Sunrise......[/quote] ...

I'm in. Anyone want to car pool up from Portland?

Oh my God. I had almost forgot that walk of pain. I think I have done it 8 times from shore and 8 from boat. Guess which I do now?

And it does not matter if you just cowboy up and do it all in one trip or two, its tough.

I am so jealous of you divers that get the happy, three drink narced. Me I get the the "Freaking Willies", get me out of here narced. Pretty easy to notice, never a question.

Welcome to our "Nut and Fruit Bowl" Julie. If you want idea's on gear just ask away and sit back. Hope to see you in the water.

Thanks Lynne for the great post. It shows even the best and the most experienced can mess up. I have learned that if I get hurried then I will usually mess up and I just back off and take a few minutes. This was a great reminder for all of us.

If I recall, it is at the end of the Great Bend and very shallow forever. Last time I dove it I saw nothing but Moon Snails and mud "Forever". I think Potlatch is even better.

I will take it and even pick it up here in Portland. I have always wanted to try and make a yard gong out of a old al 80. Let me know.

DUI CF200, the best and most comfortable suit I have ever owned.

I have not dove there but did do a dive at Port Orford several years ago. Cool dive but a bitch to launch my Zodiac. You might try to find a copy of "Diver's Almanac" it list's two dive sites in Brookings. 1. Harris Beach, 2. Lone Ranch.

Hope this helps.

# 2 and #5.
