Hi, I am headed up from Oregon to say hi to friends and family for the weekend. It has been a while since I got into the Sound and would love a partner to go on a dive or three with. I will be up Sat and Sun (8/22-23). I will check back to this thread friday evening and sat evening to see if...

I've dove clear lake a number of times in a wetsuit. Water temps are a consistent 42 ish deg. I dove a onepiece 7mm with a 3mm farmer john underneath. Core temp stayed ok but head, toes and fingers were numb beyond beliefe despite 5-7mm on each. I think a 5mm is a little thin to be jumping in...

as cool as the earmuff mask is, I am going to try the lower cost plug option first. Thanks folks! And I will definitely learn to use the search function first because that had a lot of good info that I basically just repeated... Damn noob...

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for earplugs that I could use while diving to keep water out. I find that I frequently get water deep in my ear which prevents diving the next day due to pressure issues and pain. Is there a non earplug solution to my problem? Thanks

I recently got to dive sunrise beach SP in WA and that was the best 2 dives I've had yet. In both dives we saw all of the flora and fauna that it would normally take you 3 or 4 dives to see. A short list includes, several clam species, 4-6+ in hermit crabs, multiple octo, multiple wolf eel...

What is DIR exactly?

I found a mask at Octopus hole in hoodsport on Dec 5. Missing one? Give me an accurate description and it is yours.

good to know. Thanks everyone. I might be looking into a steel in the near future.

so, my next question is, how do AL80s "wear out"?

I am in Corvallis, OR and am trying to get a friend from So Cal to dive while she is up here. The weather this week is looking pretty gnarly in OR and WA but we still want to dive. Hoodsport is the closest nice saltwater diving and I want to know how much the weather affects the water there...

two things; 1. I dive in the northwest and I have heard from several people that steel tanks are better up here (I dive wetsuit). Why? 2. When I go to dive shops, I very rarely get a fill to 3000. Usually it is closer to 2800:wacko:. Is this enough of a difference to complain or am...

Clear Lake, OR is beautiful. 300 yr old submerged oldgrowth, an old rowboat, underwater cold vents, and ~40deg water with regular 200 ft vis makes this a don't miss. Crab Hole, outside of Waldport, OR has some murky but glorius crabbing as well as quite a bit of night life. Seattle, WA...

Any ideas for a diy underwater slate? There has got to be an inexpensive way to make one.

In Kauai I had a 4 ft whitetip charge me on a night dive(thought the dive light was food maybe???) I punched his snout with my C8 when he was right at my waist and he we didnt see him after that. I burned through a lot of air really fast on that dive but we finished off the rest of the dive...

check out clear lake in oregon if you get the chance! it is uber cold but the vis is 200 if you get a good day and 100 if the water is "cloudy". The lake is fed by cold springs at upper lake. Super cool dive but the temps are about 40 deg. great spot for a full moon night dive if you can...

Myself and some friends are coming up from oregon to the seattle area for a weekend of diving on the 5th and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for an uber cheap place to sleep for the weekend. campgrounds or cheap motels are good. Really, a free place to pitch a tent would be ideal (we...

what time are you thinking? I am quite flexible.

Wanna dive this tuesday afternoon? :D I was thinking sharks cove or three tables but whatever works. PM me if you are interested. ~Shmee

How much did Sacred Seas charge for a shore dive? What are average prices for shore dives in Kauai assuming no rental gear?

Anyone on Kauai who wants to dive between Aug 25 and 30th? I am from Oreogn and am visiting family on the north east shore of Kauai for a week. I am OW cert and have done some 115 ft dives and several night dives. I would love to get out and see the dive sites near by. A pint afterwards...
