I have mentioned this on several threads, but I thought I would post it here in case anyone is curious about the GUE community in the Seattle/PNW area.
The GUE Seattle community hosts dives every Wednesday night throughout the year that are open to any certified divers. There is no requirement to be GUE trained or to have GUE-standard equipment -- all we ask is that you be familiar with your gear and have a primary and backup light due to the normal sub-optimal visibility conditions in the area (and the fact that the dive is a night dive for 3/4s of the year.) If you don't have a decent light, just let us know in advance and someone will probably be able to loan you a light. It's a great opportunity to learn about GUE, meet some other divers in the area, or just have a buddy to dive with during the week.
We usually meet between 6 and 6:30 and the location varies throughout the year -- usually at Redondo when it is Lumpy or 6-gill season and Cove 2 at other points of the year (depending on the bridge construction.) We usually post a reminder in the GUE Seattle Facebook group the day before (but sometimes it is late and gets posted day-of). If you're avoiding the House of Zuckerberg, DM me here and I will get you the latest details.
To be clear, this is a community led dive and is not officially organized by GUE or any local shops. Divers are responsible for their own safety and diving within their training limits.
