Are we doing it this week?

Ikelite D800 housing with vacuum pump plus a tray have been sold. Rest still available.

I think I'll be there.

Rehearsal dinner. Sorry!

Got out to Skyline Wall for the first time ever today. Super colorful. Covered in sea cucumbers colored red, orange, and black. Lots of little starfish, some sunflower stars. Baby ling cod. Saw a candy stripe shrimp (hi Jess). Soooo many buffalo sculpin, including one with brilliant yellow coloring ...

Ok DLH is in and we have a quorum. See you Thursday.

Redondo 6:30pm

Anyone available this week?

Can go looking for a sixgill by the bottle field or the carousel boat!

I have an assortment of Ikelite parts that I can sell individually or as part of a package. DM me if you'd like to follow up. All parts are in good condition but well used. Housings have been recently serviced. The modular port parts fit the recently replaced FL (four lock) system. DS51 Strobe (4044...

The one in BillZ's video is definitely different than the one I saw. Tail in tact and has that gash along the pectoral fin. Certainly more curious.

Great video

Yes, big thank you to YE for putting that day together. I had a lot of fun! Good weather. Good dives. Good friends. Good pies. Looking forward to getting back out to Deception Pass. The cap on the shutter button of my Olympus EPL5 popped off sometime ago (apparently a not uncommon issue), and it's b...

And it looks like you got shots of her in the water column and not just from above swimming on the bottom?

Open. Water column. I was sitting on the bottom and the shark swam above and around me.

Just past the carousel boat @ ~85fsw on a low tide. Stuck around long enough for me to get a few pictures and check that she was female before disappearing into the dark. 5-6 feet long, I guess? https://photos.smugmug.com/Underwater/Seattle-Diving/Sixgill-Shark-2018-08-02/i-S29Wzpc/1/65877878/M/_DSC...

Planning on being there.

Last night at Redondo, viz seemed worse than normal. In addition to the normal summer goop, there was non-sand particulate that sorta looked like mud that clouded things up. Looking through my photos, I found that I got some of that particulate in focus as well as you could for something the small. ...

Will be there

Good crab content

I'm in.

I like that picture of the wolf eel nuzzling up to that sunflower star. Looks like a big healthy star too!

Will there be mating crabs?

(should be able to make it)

Thank you for getting the crab love shot.

Went back to God's Pocket for Bill and Annie's final week. It was another Richard Salas workshop, and this time he brought his wife and son. His wife is a very talented folk musician and performed a set after dinner one night. People got emotional during the last dinner but otherwise carried on like...

Received this from Marker Buoy: First and foremost, we would like to express our gratitude for all the years of support that we have received from you.
