Me mate, although after some rather unhappy incident I don?t dive anymore. Check out Campbell River (Canada, BC). They sunk a battle ship there a few years ago? really nice to go diving around there. Oh yes, and Rock bay is great for pulling canon balls.

All the best?

jim

max very cool pix

and jim that looks great always wanted to cave dive.

dreaming of mexico.

i mainly dove in sinai- red sea

amazing wildlife there

Haha...the only one I have not done is the one in Campbell River. Done the Chaudieur, Mackenize and the one off of Nanaimo......pretty cool dives.

Where's Mike? Still looking for him....

Yea, Campbell River is a nice place for diving. The battle ship they sunk was the one that was used in that x-files episode where they are trapped on a ship and get old really fast.

The only bad things about Campbell River are the extreme currents.

I love diving. The water is starting to cool off down here in Miami (79 degrees F), so I have to wear my shorty now, but from June to October the water stays about 85 F, even 80 feet down.

Love that!

I was diving for lobster about a month ago, great time and I managed to grab 4 bugs. :-) Its' great to have reef and wreck dives only 15 minutes away in tropical water.

I would be totally up for a dive trip anytime!

Anyone ever dive near GOA? Gonna be there for xmass

I went scuba diving in Hilo, Hawaii. It was a trip, definitely gonna go next change I get.

this thread makes we want to dig out my bc / regulator and dive computer. been years since I've had a good dive. Last one was a spectacular night dive in Turks and Caicos, lots of awesome octupus and sharks, but at the time, I only had an ok camera in the underwater housing :) nothing like ur quality pics.

a good dive is better than bad sex

I would tend to agree with that.

I do it annually at the various resorts (so not much), and I love it. Last one was at Turks & Caicos, which was awsome :thumbsup

ever had sex underwater aka 30m club, trick is vasalene, otherwise sea water chaps

Great pics! I've only gone a couple of times (Australia & Mexico), but I would love to move somewhere near the ocean so I could get out regularly. Damn prairies!

Divemaster myself. The Campbell river wreck is great, as well as Nanaimo. Good times! Seems as there are a few PNW divers here...a industry trip should be very possible! Warm water would be nice, but as Far-L states...Dry Suite baby!

shot from stern of my boat in thailand, rocks are 20 m/ 60ft down, but clear as a bell

Awesome pictures... their world is so much larger than ours considering the oceans cover the majority of the earth. It's just incredible the breadth and scope of living things beneath water.

true and there is stuff no man has seen yet

nice pics, Cozumel is a great place for scuba diving

Completely reasonable on the price but where do you keep the boat that people would have to get to?

Also... the list of Pacific Northwest Divers is growing and I agree that we should all get together for some dives. I might be up to BC in the beginning of December. If anyone wants details and would like to dive with us then let me know asap and i will firm up the plan.

Let's chase some sixgills down! Might be up to B.C in December. Leedsfan from masktv is up there too and an avid diver as well.

Cozumel is great place, saw mantas there last year

No Six Gills this year. Not sure where they all went....oh and they are only up in the summer....not the winter. But I can arrange a great trip for December in Nanaimo if you guys want.

Dove in Coz lots of times....it is really a great spot to go.

I started my training, but did not finish because of my ex wife. Now I just dont have the time.

If you want to do some great cave diving in fresh water., Hit the Gainesville FL. area.

Anybody want to meet in thailand or India for diving, will be ther dec 15 to jan 25 or so

I used to live on Guam and I would dive there all the time. I guess living on and Island did have some good things about it. lol

Diving is great but VERY dangerous, especially if you are doing prop work or night dives? or deep dives? or a combination. Done it, won?t do it again. :)

Used to scrub barnacles from boats and change props on boats. Wohooo? cold hard times.

simply not true!

more like i driving a car, you do something realy dumb your dead. But follow some simple rules and it is all good

Something I have always wanted to try.

He's talking about commercial diving, not sport diving.... two VERY different things.

Commercial diving can and is, very dangerous.....and will also make you old before your time. I know a couple of guys that do it. They are in their 30s, but look like they are in their late 50s, and they have all kinds of scars, and are starting to have health problems.

ah yes, i agree, commerical divers are paid alot cause it takes years off their lives.

Anyone got any more scuba pix????

You should, but you cannot scream under water!
