Northwest Dive Club

Great colors. And the lighting on the sculpin photo is really nice. I like how it gets darker as the focus gets softer.

I'll probably be there but won't stick around for food. I'll stay long enough to not be a total jerk.

Need a little more heads up. Next week looks good though.

What are the good ID resources for matching egg ribbons to nudi species?

Finally got back in the water after spending three months dry. 2 tanks on Saturday and Tuesday. The site was crowded on Saturday with both divers and boaters. I parked off to the side by the boat dock to keep my distance from people gearing up. It seemed like people weren't strictly sticking to a 5-...

Happy to see that one wolf eel is still there in the same crevice!

This is from January:

Hello all...

Redondo and the facilities are officially open! Happy Diving!
Melissa

Thank you for checking

What about the bathrooms?

Happy birthday!

This weekend, I saw a couple divers carrying their gear down to the lake just south of Madrona Beach. https://www.google.com/maps/@47.6070234,-122.2831871,308m/data=!3m1!1e3 What dive site would that be? They seemed like they had regular tanks so is there something worth seeing at recreational depths?

Happy belated birthday!

Happy birthday!

Reading through the Times' writeup of the phased easing of restrictions and was wondering about the logistics of getting back in the water. https://www.seattletimes.com/life/what-inslees-4-phase-plan-to-reopen-washingtons-economy-means-for-your-life/ Are dive shops planning to do curbside dropoff/pi...

What a fun surprise! Thanks for sharing the photos.

I looked at the Backscatter sale as well and did bite on something cool and it seems to be a legitimate deal. Backscatter Mini-Flash / Snoot combo for $314. In December when released it was $499. https://wetpixel.com/articles/backscatter-announces-mf-1-mini-flash-and-os-1-optical-snoot The MF-1 Min...

Great lumpy snaps, Jesse!

I need to find some lumpsuckers that aren't orange or brown next season.

I will not be diving with the group for the foreseeable future. Would be willing to do dives with a single buddy planned via DM. Have fun. Bring wipes because those Redondo bathrooms are filthy.

Fun photos! That PMH shot must have been very difficult to get at that eye-level angle.

I'll post some of my recent shots to the thread later tonight. Been meaning to share those here.

I'm glad someone else got a picture of the painted anemone eating the crab.

Sorry I was unable to make it at the last minute.

Plan to be there.

How are we feeling about group outings given the coronavirus?

Great cephalopod pics. And the seahorse picture is really cool. It reminds me of the pygmy seahorse pics except not nearly as flat as a lot of those turn out. The texture of the gorgonian (or whatever it's on) really pops.
