Hello from PNW

[CalciumCarbide]

I live in the Seattle Washington area so I have the opportunity to dive the cold waters of the Puget Sound. However I don't have a drysuit so my dives locally are mostly in prep of going to more tropical destinations. I have had the privilege of diving in Thailand, Bali, Raja Ampat, Belize, Roatan, Cozumel with my upcoming trip being to Bonaire. I love the exploration aspect of diving and capturing those memories on camera. My camera setup is a Sony A7Riv inside of a seafrogs housing. Primary lenses are the 90mm macro, 16-35 f4 and most recently the canon 8-15 fisheye on an adapter. Lighting wise I have a pair Backscatter MacroWide video lights and YS-D3 strobes. I am always tinkering with my setup as I try to learn more so it will likely change as time goes on. Excited to join the community and continue to learn.

Aloha and welcome! I lived in Seattle in the 80s, but wasn't a diver then. Not sure I'd want to venture into the water without a drysuit!

Hello neighbor!  I’m north of you in the islands.  I learned to dive in the Sound at Edmonds and enjoy the photos and videos from others there but am now strictly a warm water diver.

Welcome from Seattle! 

 

Get that drysuit are start diving locally! We have a very active local dive community and some of the best diving in the US with 0-2 hours driving range. Head up to BC and you'll find some of the World's best diving. If you ever want to give some local diving a try, let me know and I'll join you for a dive or two.

 

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks for the offer. I’m sometimes tempted, just need to get over the hurdle
