    Dive Buddy (Tacoma)

    Hello,
    My name is Ethan and I am pretty new to ScubaBoard as well as the pacific northwest. I am new to Tacoma and am looking for people to dive with. I am a moderately experienced (always learning) diver, I dove Les Davis and it was a lot of fun and quite similar to the cold-water diving i have done in
    Monterrey and around California. I currently do not have a car but can meet in
    the Tacoma area to dive both week days and weekends pending a slight bit of
    planning. I am by no means an expert diver, but I really enjoy diving
    and have +80 dives in some varied environments. Also I am extremely safety
    conscientious and have feel no need to push the limits, furthermore over the
    summer i worked at a dive shop and feel like my knowledge of the sport is pretty good. I can not wait to get back in the water, please let me know if anyone is interested in diving together and or is diving and doesn't mind a tag-along. My email is sheldonethan@gmail or just respond to this and I look forward to getting in touch.
    -Ethan

    Ethan, welcome to the PNW! There is a group of divers who meet on Thursday to dive in the south end . . . you will find them on nwdiveclub.com. If you can make it up further north, we have dives going routinely on Tuesday (Moss Bay Dive Club), Wednesdays (GUE Tweak), Wednesday evenings (Edmonds), Monday nights (Mukilteo) and frequently individual divers looking for buddies on weekends.

    Hope this helps!
