Hello Everyone
Well i will keep this short and sweet... I just got my OW cert at the Yellowhouse on 5-9-10 it was a blast i took my classes from Thunder Reef here in Vancouver Wa. staff was awsome and the instructors/divemasters were great everyone was very helpfull... The dives were very fun water was nice had a 6.5mm farmer john on the viz was about 6-8ft at 20-40ft or so not great but still got to see a lot of cool thing and was able to keep track of my buddy and instructor very well....Plan on taking Scuba as far as i can..... would like to do some diving around the Vancouver area i have heard that some ppl dive Battle Ground lake and Yale,Swift,Merwin need to find a little bit of info about them first but im up for diveing anything pool,lake,oceans just love being under the water... Any tips or pointer would be great.. places to dive.. shops in the area and must haves for gear would be great also

Re: Hello All
Welcome to diving. Did Jen tell you about the local Scuba club that meets first Thursday of the month 7 pm at Salmon Creek Round Table Pizza? Hope to see you at a dive site. Seven Seas over in east Vancouver is a very active shop with lots of local trips. Check out the Oregon diver forum on this site because there are lots of Oregon and SW Washington divers on here.

Welcome to NWDC and welcome to the sport! It is much fun!
Hope to see you at a dive sometime and may it bring you as much joy as it has brought me!
p.s BTW, I'm not the aforementioned Jen.
