Northwest Dive Club

Met stphnmartin, vjw, and ScubaJess at Skyline on Sunday morning. The weather was great to the point where the 46 degree water didn't really bother me. The current was much stronger than expected, blowing us away from the entry point (west?). Made focusing the camera very difficult. Was shooting som...

I think I’m in

Keep the pictures coming. You didn't miss much here. The weather sucked.

Wasn't planning on it.

I have the 5510.28

Out. Family stuff.

Man, where did you find that clown? I didn't see that guy!

Thanks. Must've been around the rock of life. It wasn't that long into my dive.

Met up with ScubaJess, YellowEye, stphnmartin, vjw at Keystone yesterday. Got in before it started snowing. Viz was subpar. 5-10 ft maybe? Cloudy enough to make photographing difficult even with macro. But still lots of life. Cockerell's dorid, Hudson's dorid, clown nudibranchs, multicolor dendronot...

I'm out. Too much else going on.

Another Thursday night at Redondo. I've been experimenting with a Retra Light Shaping Device (snoot) on my Ikelite DS161. Thank God for the strobe mode with a modeling light. Would not be able to aim the snoot without it. I've been looking for a stubby squid for the last couple weeks but no luck. Di...

I'll give it a go.

Do the lumpies disappear after the conference championship games? I think I’ll try to make it over there. May go to the bottle field instead though.

Decided to spend several nights in a row this week watching harbor seals chase after perch at Cove 2. Saw the same group of three (parents and pup?) each night. As many perch as I've ever seen for them to chase after. Viz was about 10 ft each night. Seemed best on Friday, but the seals are always ki...

Was thinking of doing several dives over the week to hang out with the harbor seals at Cove 2. Tides look best Wed - Fri. Looking to splash around 6:30-7 and hopefully avoid the worst of traffic. Anyone interested in any day this week? Saw 3 and lots and lots of perch on New Year's Day.

With the bad tides and the bad weather, I’m happy to just stay in tomorrow.

Anyone?

Dive #1 Redondo 6:30pm
Dive #2 Billy McHale's

Not to compete with Sund Rock, but if anyone else is feeling up for a dive but not a long drive, I'm planning on hitting up Edmonds. Slack at 1pm heading into a large ebb. So thinking of splashing about 12:30pm. Meet at 12?

I don't think I'm feeling up to it. Have fun!

Your friend is a mutual follow on Instagram whose photos I greatly enjoy.

Good photos! Really like the ratfish shot. I was photographing the same wolf eel at the Junkpile a couple weeks ago!

I'm gonna try to make it.

So.... where are we meeting?

Is everyone up for Three Tree (or Junk Yard?) for Plan B if the forecast shows a lot of wind tomorrow? It should be more protected.

I would not say no to the Junkyard.

I will be there

Not able to make it anyway.
