If you ever wondered who in the world trains to scuba dive in the great Pacific Northwest, well lots of people! Here's a snapshot of some of my June students.

Are you sure they don't all have dandruff? Looks like they're all scratching......

Cold water is an aquired taste. Once you learn to love it nothing else compares..
I love to dive.. Warm water is fun but, last night I sat at 50' or so and watched a GPO in its den (suction cups at least 2"-3" in dia.). I can't do that in the warm water.

And yes, we are a bit nuts up here in the PNW. I think the cold water shrinks your brain after repeated exposure. LOL

Nicolle looking forward to your talk on tides and currents in August.. Let me knowif you need to crash at my house. Would love to have you.

Aw crap, that's what the problem is! :birthday:

I would enjoy being able to stay the night after my presentation at Club TL Sea, but alas real work calls - so it will be a day trip only. Bummer, eh? (threw the eh in there for our NORTH Northwest divers....CMT489). :wakawaka:

darn it.. but I did sign up and will see you there. Should be a great presentation.

All PNW divers should check it out.. You never know too much about tides and currents. And you can hang out with Nicolle and me... LOL

i figured maybe they were pointing to the spot the nuerologist is going to drill to see if that fixes the problem.

:lmao:

oh yeah, and Nicolle..... meow meow :o
OK, lets make a deal. If you stop telling me how to dive, I'll stop going down to the bus station at 2am to slap d***s out of your mouth.
